Naughty Little Rose

I stopped to smell the roses and a thorn stabbed me in the nose Then an angry bee flew up my shorts And left me dancin on my toes I started running for my doorstep Sting ointment was my desparate need But i tripped going up the steps And it gave me bloody knees My nose was bleeding profusely The bee stinging me you know where I was screaming like a wild banshee Who was caught up in a snare I went through the door in a mad frenzy My wife saw my wild-eyed stare She heard my screams of agony Then she laughed like she didnt care I bolted for the bathroom I spread the ointment tween my thighs I showered the blood off my knees and nose Then i slipped and blackened both my eyes. Theres a moral to my story A life lesson very true, When you stop to smell the roses Maybe the roses are smelling you.

This write of your made me laugh out loud, and being true makes it twice as funny. Sorry for the pain you endured but it paid off by winning a 1st place win. Tell me Carl do you still smell roses? Awesome write and win! Hugs

This is my No.1. The theme of the contest was "Lessons in life are funny". I think your poem is very funny and there is lesson or moral to it which you spell out so it satisfies both requirements very well. I have viewed the others. Most are funny but I am left wondering what is the lesson in them. Congratulations!

Hahaha. Quite an ordeal you've described here. Humor poetry does it for me and this is it. Nice one, Carl. Licia :-)

Sounds like a rough day. Thanks for the laugh, sorry to laugh at your pain. They do say laughter is the best medicine but that probably won't help your tender bits.

what a humorous write, this one was fun to read, though I am sure a bee sting in certain places aren't as much fun...nicely penned :)
