Richard Lamoureux Poet Rhyme

Boy Oh Boy and a Girl

I wish to claim
My boyness
My yesterday sillyness
Innocent shyness
My crinkled nose grininess
That hide and seekiness
Spin the bottle 
kind of geekiness 

Getting caught 
My hand in the cookie jarness
That pushing too farness
Collecting comic charminess 
Pulling pigtales
Stolen kisses
Hidden playboy kinda business
Cop a feel inquisitiveness

Being a bit
Self conscience  
A true life witness
Loving the mysterious 
Laughing more than being serious
Feeling delirious 
Not afraid
Somewhat curious

Wondering
About adultness
What it was all aboutness
Thinking that it leads to freeness
I'd know just how to be-ness
Eating what I want 
Staying up late kinda keeness

Now I wonder
What was the rushness
To reach adultness
Full of it's doubtiness
What's it all aboutness
I witness it's dreamlessness
It's no longer about me-ness
More mundane
To much saneness
Routine and sameness
No one cares if you cameness
Less is less
And more is moreness
Can't see the trees
Through the dark forest

So grab onto your girliness
I'll bring my boyness
There will be more
Way more 
Yesirey
Hotdigity
Joyousness 
No more boringness 
We'll spin in circles
Enjoy our dizziness 
After all
Having fun
Is a serious business!



For Nina Parmenter’s Tongue Twister Contest.
I hope you have as much fun reading as I had writing it.

Timothy Hicks May 2, 2020 at 1:27 PM Not to go around endlessly in circles ... but you know what this reminds me of? You ought to check out the old song Way Back Home by Bob Crosby and the Bob Cats. The topic isn't exactly the same ... but it has all those constant quirky rhymes (most of them made up words) so similar to how this poem is composed! Richard Lamoureux May 2, 2020 at 1:36 PM I can see why you directed me to the song. That was a fun read.

Timothy Hicks May 2, 2020 at 1:26 PM I can see why you guided me here after reading my Firefly poem. It's charming, delightful ... and hits all the right buttons for the love of sentimentality and childhood. Very endearing, my friend. I'll add it to my faves for later enjoyment. Richard Lamoureux May 2, 2020 at 1:27 PM I’m glad you enjoyed it. I had fun writing this one.
