A Bit Hokey

Methinks I'm overdoing these pep talks
You people must be tired and bored
I hereby announce, going back to the sillies
Worry not, it's of my own accord

A niche that's always been my cup of tea
Poetry that includes lots of humour
Get quite a kick out of making folks laugh
Losing my smile's just a rumour

So here we go, are you ready for this stuff
I'm afraid it can get a bit hokey
What did the water say to the cruise ship?
Nothing, it just waved... okey-dokey

Now wasn't that extremely thoughtful of me
Coming up with this comedic gem
I'm not just another pretty face you know
I'm real kind and a genuine friend

Are you ready to bust a gut laughing again
Well maybe I'm exaggerating a bit
Are you ready to pee in your pantaloons
Oops sorry! No off colour quips

I've always been known as a rebellious sort
But I've tried hard to mend my ways
So it's nothing but sillies from this day forward
You can bet all your hard earned pay!

Carol Eastman Date: 5/7/2013 11:51:00 AM Never give up those rebellious ways and never surrender! I wrote and posted my Godzilla poem... Some action... more cute... Grandpa Troll is fussing at me about- wanting to go to the center of the earth, Now! But I'm looking for a little more crazy, first. Dragon wants to come with his rubber ducky. HMMM. Lolly is peaking from of the basement, urging me on. You can't hurry genius (That's you, not me) Need a few more days. Decisions, Decisions... U usually bring me idea gems. Yes, You! Really!

It's in an adult lifestyle community (no kids) of 300 homes way out in the boonies. WHAT A RELIEF! Hugs dear lady... xoxoxox
