I have some fun poems for you! On Monday, I played a game in which any kind of poem was written about any thing, and once everyone had written theirs, the poems were read and guesses were made as to what the subject of the poem was and who had written it.
Those of you who played, know who you are. As for the rest of you, see if you can guess who in our family wrote which poems, and what they are about! I'll post the answers on Saturday.
Poem #1:
Slung over her shoulder with style,
She carried it mile after mile.
Her stiletto heels matched perfectly
Its flexible scaly surface-ity.
So expensive it was,
From the top house of duds,
That it remained quite fashionably emptily.
Poem #2:
The news was out, the chase was up, was it true? The word was "yup."
This was the last time their spud'd be beaten up.
An ear, an eye, a little hair, bits of things everywhere-
A gruesome sight- Oh, who would dare?
The children rallied, and what a sight
To see the big kids all take flight.
Poem # 3:
"We've run aground," he mumbled
Stubbled beard rasping on the radio headset.
"Nothing major, just a barrel or two."
A slick, well-oiled excuse
To hide a huge. Sticky. Black. Filthy. Lie
Poem #4: ( A collection of three, describing the same item.)
1.
sweet, bread on a stick
you hound me to eat you- now
my taste buds crave you
2.
My favorite meal of the summer,
To health nuts is oh-so-a-bummer.
It isn't a squash,
Nor is it goulash,
It's fat on more fat, which is yummer.
3.
Oh, sweet, sweet animal!
Twere it not for your carb count
My taste buds would surely
Devour your every inch.
Oh, if only you would be
Not so clogging to my arteries!
My fist longs to grasp
Your splintered handle.
But it is not to be,
Oh sweet, sweet animal.
Poem #5:
It describes who you are at every door
And the dedication to what you stand for.
Worn with honor and pride,
And only four inches wide,
It causes non-members to exclaim:
"Hey, you both have the same name!"
So there you have it! Think long and hard and Saturday you will find the answers...
We love you Mom!
