Words, silly

Childrens poetry and silly thoughts that chase around my brain.

Dragon Diminished

Dragons and knights, bold!

A Busy Day

I watched the grass grow in the garden Ants scurry in a queue I watched butterflies on flowers Drinking up the dew I saw a snail on the wall The leaves upon the path And in a smallish puddle

Cloud Warning

Cloud You cannot rain on my day Sending us running for cover Making the charcoal go out You can sit there looking grey And menacing but- You cannot dissolve! I forbid it

A Waste of Rhyme

Is it a beautiful waste of time To write a rhyme? The cat sat on the mat But before I go I want to know Was it the cat in the hat?

Come Talk to Me

Come walk with me and talk with me Of cabbages and kings Because like another author I’m in the mood for silly things I want to know if dandelions Should be made into butter

If I Were These

If I were a crocodile I’d eat marshmallows Not white fluffy poodles Those poor little fellows. If I were a zebra I’d run on the plains Out running the lions And ruffle their manes.

Unruly Words

I haven’t yet WHACK! Quite got it right WHACK! That word won’t fit WHACK! Puttin up a fight! I know it should BAM! Go into place BAM! It needs encouragement BAM!

I Ain't Writing

What? Write a poem? I don’t know nothing about writing no poem Yeah, I been hearing what you say But- assonance and consonance Oh, don’t make me feel like a dunce Dactyl, spondee? No siree

The Infamous Gallump

The Gallump Has quite a hump But his nose Looks like a lump He has a crest Like a quails And a tail like a snails Now his feet Are really neat But to count them Would take a week

Ten Things I'd Change About Me- or , Oh, to be Average (IP)

TEN THINGS I’D CHANGE ABOUT ME There aren’t too many things I’d change about me but I will give it a try:

Silly O'Clock

What time do you want to get up? What’s that you say? Silly o’clock? Ohhhhh, I’d not do that if I were you Funny things happen when you do! You’ve not heard? Oh I must say
Cherry

Strange Places From a Strange Person IP ( again)

Step right up, step right up Come see the sights You will be amazed Terror, romance, fantasy It’s all there folks That’s right, come right in Watch your step and keep together

Important BOLO: Punctuation

MISSING! Punctuation Also known as commas and full stops As well as other common aliases Can be seen in the literature and correspondence Often known to hang around with capital letters

Temptation

You are temptation on two legs An egg whisk in my thoughts A roller coaster ride Mainly in the dark You are an itch on my back That won’t go away The sun in my eyes On a bright sunny day

Pedant Time (IP)

Pardon, you want to know the exact time The exact time where? You have to be more exact In China, Peru, Nova Scotia? And seconds fly by The exact time now Is not the exact time- now

You're to Blame

If only I had a crystal ball To know what tomorrow brings I wouldn’t have a broken heart Among some other things I’d not had those measles Or that horrible swine flu

Sneaky Feet

If you want to sneak Don’t use elephant feet They’re not very sleek And pound out a beat The feet of a gazelle Might work quite well If they start to jump They might make a thump

Me Jealous? Never! (IP)

What makes you think I am jealous of you?
