Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Grandma Adopts a Baby

I adopted a baby grandma said
Who would let that old woman adopt?
They’d have to be wrong in their head

We did not run over there, we thought it was a lie
It has to be right? Said Dorothy, Buddy and Di.

But believe it or not, she adopted a fellow.
Knit him blankets and booties all in soft yellow
An orangutan baby, she is leaving to us.
His name is Gus and he’s a cute little cuss.

Robert Pettit April 10, 2025 at 3:06 PM Here's a suggestion just for your consideration: How about adding an additional line to rhyme with 'adopt'? After the first line, add "This was stunning news that could hardly be topped". Everything else is creatively nice. Caren Krutsinger April 10, 2025 at 3:11 PM I considered it, but it did not fit in with the atmosphere I was trying to convey. Thank you for the suggestion though.
