Wendy Nipas Poet Rhyme

Happenstance

Happenstance
A puppet once was not amused
Was tired of being tugged and used
He wanted no more of it all
And every time he chose to fall

Whenever he would feel a jerk
That ordered him to jump or twerk
He just lay down and he would sniff
He did not move, he was just stiff

No longer did he want to shake
’cause all this wiggling was just fake
A happy puppet he was not
That’s what his master had forgot

And since he did not seem to care
The puppet gave him a good scare
The master therefore stooped to see
How all of this had come to be

With gentle touch and gentle stroke
He kindly to his puppet spoke
To him it was by happenstance
That his puppet carried on his dance

Harry Horsman November 30, 2018 at 4:52 PM Wow, your poem, surely brings out so much that is wrong in the world..(Are we all puppets i wonder sometimes) love this clever and exceedingly intelligent poem. Wendy Nipas November 30, 2018 at 7:18 PM Thank you so much Harry. Very kind of you.

Chris Green November 29, 2018 at 1:29 PM It was kindness and caring that brought his puppet back to life. Sometimes a gentle touch or a nice word can make all of the difference in someone's day. I really liked this a lot Wendy. There have been times where that puppet was me. :) Wendy Nipas November 29, 2018 at 1:44 PM Aww, thank you so much Chris. But as you can see, this puppet has a strong sense of self. That will get you a long way.
