2019-2020 SoCS Badge by Shelley! https://www.quaintrevival.com/
The stinky skunk tried to spray
The dog tried to getaway
But she was a little slow
as she’d just been spayed
Sadly her stitches did splay
This was written for #SoCS – Stream of Consciousness Saturday.

Plant a man
Watch him grow
Does he grow fast
or does he grow slow
A vegetarian …
I’d say so
Look at his face, he looks like a grump
I would too with those bumps
Horns on his head holding up trees
Pull off a leaf and he will sneeze
He sits all day inside his pot
He’d better take care before he rots.

It is with great sadness that Chelsea has decided to discontinue the weekly terrible poetry contest. So today I sat down and wrote the following bunches of silliness for The Final Weekly Terrible Poetry Contest.

Holy moly chicken man
All I want is a grand
I will be your friend for a long time
Until of course, I lose my mind
Oh my goodness
Oh my gosh
I would love some mackintosh
As I’m as hungry as a bear
Look at my cute underwear
There is a moose upon my roof
Trying to catch a silly goose
There’s a dog in the tree
He’s laughing, he’s full of glee
There’s a mouse chasing a cat
I’m going to get you, you dirty rat
Look and you will find
All of those you have left behind
Dust bunnies under the chair
Mixed all in with the dog’s hair
You think I don’t care? Beware.
You are a silly goat
I think you’ve lost my rope
I’m such a dope
I don’t know how to cope
Without my rope
Nope
Before I go there’s one more thing
I really wish that I could sing
I for one will miss your contests
A weekly terrible but the best
It was fun
I wish that I’d been here when it begun
Is there anything we could do
So many of us are feeling blue
Please change your mind
and keep it going
If you do we’ll all be glowing

The following children’s poem was written in response to Crispina’s weekly challenge.
There’s a tree in the field where squirrels love to play
The trunk is partially hollowed out, come with me to see it today
I’ll introduce you to my friends
You’ll see that there are ten
A family of squirrels that all have names
They are friendly and quite tame
Mama likes to sit on my boot
She really is such hoot
Squirrel Daddy
Never treats anyone badly
Then there is Fuzzy whos never bathed
He was very stinky the other day
The eldest girls name is Pearly
and yes she is squirrely
Next, there are the twin’s Skippy and Slappy
They’re so much fun and always happy
A flying squirrel whose name is Rocky
His mama says he’s quite cocky
Another male, that’s quite burly
Due to his tail, his name is Curly
Abby is my favorite girl
She loves to whirl and twirl
The last of the ten is named Sandy
She’s always asking me for candy
Please come along with me today
Meet the squirrels who love to play

Hammy the hamster
Was such a little prankster
He hid in dad’s shoe
When dad stepped into
Are you ready for this one
Squish, Hammy no more

When I was a little girl I would go on many long car rides with my parents. One year we were driving to Old Orchard Beach, Maine for our vacation and that’s when I came up with an imaginary friend that I called, my little piece of wind who’d enter the car when I opened the window.
You’re always willing to listen
to everything I say
It doesn’t really matter
the time of day
You come with me wherever I go
even to places, I do not know
You are my little piece of wind
When I think of you, it makes me grin

The following poem was written in response to #Crimson’s Creative Challenge #70.
What lurks beneath?
Perhaps something with very large teeth.
Will it bite me if I look to see?
Will it bite me in the knee?
Maybe it’s friendly
Maybe it’s deadly
I don’t wait around
Time to leave this town
Running as fast as I can
Back to my van

Depends on my mood 🙂
Does the whole coronavirus phenomenon worry you? Or are you more a “meh – it’s just another severe flu scare” type of person?
It worries me a great deal.
When was the last time you were snooping and found something you wish you hadn’t?s
Back when I was 14 I went snooping through my parent’s closet and found a ton of record albums of all bands that I liked. It was Christmastime and thought WOW I’ve hit the jackpot this year. Turned out my step-mother was hiding them for a friend of hers. I was so disappointed.
What’s the most pleasant sounding accent in your personal opinion? Everyone has a pleasing accent to someone!
I have a weakness for a Scottish accent. Sean Connery … bring it on 🙂
