Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Gimme a Break

You can break a promise, break a toy,
Break a rack in pool;
Break a tennis player’s serve
And even break a rule.

Break a horse to saddle up;
Take a break for lunch.
Break a glass (at Jewish weddings);
Listen to it crunch.

Break a habit, break a heart,
Break your back by lifting;
Break your neck and break your fast
And break a line by shifting.

Break up laughing, break-out stars,
Break out with some zits;
Break a losing streak and break
Your taffy bar to bits.

Break dance, break-up, break a bone;
Break a record – wow!
Break your train of thought, just like
I’m going to do – now!
