Heads - Poor Jimmy

Jimmy, comb my curl. Jimmy, pluck my brow. Jimmy, pick cotton. Now go plow! Jimmy, cook popcorn. Jimmy, bring my broom. Jimmy, lock my box. Now go fix my room. Jimmy, fix my clock. Call on jolly Tom. Copy my book. Go call mom! Jimmy, milk my cow. Jimmy, bow low. Comfort my poor colt. Go, Jimmy, go! Jimmy, kill my bird. Fry it up brown. I will go to Prom. Go to buy my gown! Jimmy, you clown, turn off your ****! Borrow my boom box. Now go blow your horn. Jimmy, no golf. Jimmy, no joy. Work, work, work, you goofy Jimmy boy. For Nikko's wacky "H-E-A-D-S OR T-A-I-L-S!" Poetry Contest

This was a good write for that contest! Sorry you got disqualified for "call" - that sucks! Should have been a winner! too bad she didn't tell you BEFORE the contest was over - or anyone else for that matter. Hard to believe all of these people missed it!

susan, nobody else saw it becuase I didn't even see it either. ahhaha. anyway, NIkko judges blind like we do in our contests too. That's why she didn't notify me even though she liked it. I sure wish someone had noticed that dumb word I went and added in.

Hey! Very Mother Goosey. Jumpin Jimminy! This is delightful. I'm trying to get caught up. Can only use the computer a few minutes at a time because of my vision. I get so dizzy. AND I am doing a bit of house rehabilitation. I have procrastinated long enough. Luck in the wacky contest. This should win easily. Love, daver

Witty and wonderful, Andrea. I have really tried to work within these confines and I admire how successfully you came up with a meaningful poem. I predict a first place win for you! Love, Carolyn

Cool, that is a wonderfully written write Andrea!! I really enjoyed the lines, "...Jimmy bring my broom...Now go fix my room..." That was hilarious! It's a well written poem, so much better than my attempt at writing one of these types of poems! I did tails instead of Heads. I hope I make it! Awesome Work!!
