It Wasn'T a Spoof

I heard loud noises up on the roof, It isn’t reindeer, it must be a spoof. From my lounger I took a hop, And ran outside to look up top. It was hailing, I felt like a goof.

The last time I hit the roof, the wasps told me to get on my bike. They don't know who they're dealing with, I think.

If you don't mind Bill, I am going to make a Roofless comment, the mean factor of the Above write I find to be highly debatable under The current subjective invective and hail being An address minus gender, no less.) I admonish Your astonish with a most uncertain intent as we reality circumvent LOL)))) how drool Yet as for your claim of non spoof ' i demand You show me the troof.!

I am relieved that the situation was not more dire, Bill. However, my curiosity has been piqued and I am eager to discover the end.

Just tryling to write something light, my friend. I seem to always be serious and I was always the funny one that everyone wanted around when I was younger. I'd like a little more balance in my poetry, but I always seem to be serious. Still learning, Bill

Thanks for the encouragement, Anaya. I'm trying to lighten up a little, because I seem to be too serious and it's stressing me. I need to relax more. Have a pleasant day my friend, Bill

Rain of any kind, including hail is one of many reasons why I am happy to not live in a mobile home anymore.

Ha ha ... we do tend to come to quick conclusions sometimes, and then we realize we grabbed the wrong end of the stick! Probably this was around Christmas time, and you were expecting Santa to take his reindeer for a warmup trip :) Regards // paul

Ha, ha, ha! Hail to the Chief!! ... Ever hear hail's effect on a WW2 jeep?! It's really loud! Unnerving. Once drove one about 150 miles in a hailstorm. OMG. Didn't know if I'd make it... But I guess I did. lol. ~ Hailie Selassie

Nope, not in a jeep, ouch! I have however got caught in a hail storm in a car and the pounding sound is terrifying. Thanks for the entertaining comments Gershon. Bill

Reindeer would have been more fun. Hail the o deers :)

I agree. I was thinking reindeer on the roof, so I thought I'd try a limerick. I don't write many, because my mind has thoughts I should think when I try to write them. lol Have a great week, Kim. Bill
