Joyce Johnson Poet Rhyme

Hungry Hoodlums

Crumbling crinkly, cracker crumbs

into salty, seafood stew,

Mother made our midday meal.

Fast for favorite food we flew.



Gluttony Glenda gulped a glass

of Linda's lovely, lemon tea.

While Will wolfed down whole walnut meats,

carefully crunching kernels free.



"Savages", sister Susan said.

"Politeness, please," our papa pled.



7/4/14



For Dr. Mehta's contest

Ilene Bauer July 5, 2014 at 5:12 PM i assume that this contest has to do with alliteration but i enjoyed your poem without knowing anything at all about the inspiration - very entertaining!
