A POETRY DAY

The other day I was in a poetic mood…You see it all started with Nate’s new jeep. It just needed a poem… so I wrote one~ but of course, I’m IRISH, so it really needed a limerick!

There once was a guy named Nate
Who thought his jeep was great.
He saw a huge puddle,
Got stuck in the muddle,
And now all it does is beep.

(I know, not technically a limerick because of that last line… grr)

So then I had to write a poem for Wellly~

Cowboy hats
And boots (no spats)
A voice so deep and mellow
t-shirts and jeans
No pinto beans
Just find me a country fellow

Then Becka read it and yelled “I wear Spats!”

Becka wears spats
And glasses and hats
Bring joy to those around her
Through giggles and screams
Laughter and dreams
We’re very glad to have found her!

But Becka’s “magic fish” needed a poem, so~

There once was a fishy named Fred
He woke up to find himself dead
Although quite alarmed
At being so charmed
He curled up and went back to bed.

Which of course reminded me of Laura’s “hello kitty”

Hello Kitty
Its quite the pity
To invest so much cash in you
You’re plastic and little
And stuck in the middle
of funding a third world stew.

Then Kelly challenged me to do Polly pocket~

There once was a Polly pocket
Who lived round my neck in a locket
With snap on clothes
Accessories and hose
don’t forget when she’s home, to lock it.

(I didn’t like that one very much)

Of course the guys have to have there toys teased….

Ninja Turtles
In rubberized girdles
Running amok in our town
With outrageous names
And no Ninja dames,
Their smacking the bad guys down!
Hya!

April need one too…

April E.
We’re glad to see
Your smiling face shining brightly
In years up ahead
You’ll live as you’ve said
And dreams will become you’re reality.

The sad thing is… as much as I detest Iambic Pentameter… that’s the usual frame for my poetry… go figure…

So have a lovely day, and look for the poetry around you!
