Glitz Ritz Splits Blitz Mitts

If you had a little glitz
You and I could do the splits,
In front of the Hotel Ritz
Did you just call me a ditz?

Come here and put up your mitts.
Do not care if Mom has fits.
Come and show me all your grits.
I will fight you with my wits.

Oh no, do not blame your blitz.
Up to you to do the splits.
Unless you want lots of hits
Meet me at the Hotel Ritz.

Cut me up in little bits?
Witnesses will laugh with spits.
Did you just call me a ditz?
Come here and put up your mitts.

Come on grandma, use your wits.
Kidding truly little ditz.
Cannot make Mom have such fits
And there is no Hotel Ritz

Haha... what a great write Caren, it had me dancing round the room, as I felt it needed to be sung - great fun. We have the iconic Ritz Hotel in London, were I had afternoon tea and lunch, but have never stayed there, although I would love too. Our first lady Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, actually spent the last few months of her life there as she was great friends of the owners. It is a very beautiful hotel. Kindest thoughts Ann xx

Ah, I knew there would be a fancy schmanzy Ritz Hotel somewhere, for I had heard of it. I used to greatly admire Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. I am glad she had such a sweet place. Glad you could relate too, my friend.

Every once in a while I have to re-start my engine with a little happy, snappy mono-rhyme. It always does.

Hi Caren, This is such a fun write. I enjoyed it from start to finish. I like the monorhyme form too. Good job:-) Alexis

Thank you Alexis. I think the monorhyme form and the rhyme form are the ones that help me get my pizzazz back when I start running out of steam.
