A Lot of Nonsense

I was sitting in my room,
Looking at the stars,
When all of a sudden,
I thought I saw Mars,
I went out of the house,
And looked all around,
I got into my rocket ship,
Straight off the ground.


Milky Way Dairy, 
Here I come,
My pockets are full,
To spend on my tum.
Oh, gosh how many
People are here,
Guess I’ll have to queue,
That’s pretty clear


I got out of my ship,
And saw the rotator,
I turned and saw a
Wow kind of waiter,
A strange looking alien,
And laden with shakes,
And to my relief,
I also see choc. Flakes!


The stools are actually ,
Floating in mid-air,
And the waiters mingle
Around, with such flair.
I say to the waiter I’ll
Have a Sundae, Oh
Never mind,
Make that a Monday!


What a menu this is,
And oh what a choice,
After spending my money                                                                                                                                                                                                               
I’ll have no voice!
But truly folks,
The Milky Way is a treat,
And you come by Rocket ship,
Such a cool feat!


Take the family there,
And on arrival you’ll find,
A Drive-thru and menu
That’s One of a kind!
So first take a left,
And then a sharp right,
And the Milky way Dairy,
Is almost in sight!


And there in the skies,
And amongst all the stars,
Lies a dream world of Sundaes,
Flakes and Milky bars.
  
I entered this contest yesterday as a re-post but noticed today it was not on my list of poems so did the necessary.

Here is something light-weight, fun and entertaining! I loved the read. Cute, imaginative and absolutely uplifting. I needed the smile this gave me, light-weight has its purpose in our poetry world. I enjoyed this VERY MUCH - just as I'll enjoy the chocolate eclairs I keep hidden! Life is sweet ... CayCay

Hello Jennifer ... it may be nonsense, but your poem is really refreshing to read. It's certainly a great modern nursery rhyme and I loved it - thanks Jennifer - Lindsay

Hi John Gondolf - How lovely to have you visit, it seems that the days have become like sausages and just join on to the next without a break - especially with our business, sometimes it seems to me time is a luxury for the rich and famous only. Hope you are keeping well my friend. hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
