Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

Jelly Wobbles

Once I took a jellyfish
To visit a chiropodist
The doctor had a tinker with his toes
The doctor went around the bend
And all his hair stood up on end
And now he’s got a flashing orange nose

So never take a jellyfish
To visit a chiropodist 
I for one won’t do that anymore
But if you take a jellyfish
To visit a chiropodist
Please be sure it’s not a Man ’o War

Deb M January 11, 2022 at 7:34 AM Hey Terry…very cleverly written and and with that good ole Terry ooma!! Hehe…Cheers Debx Terry Flood January 11, 2022 at 4:26 PM Thanks, Deb. I was trying to think of animal that hadn’t had a ‘cutesy kiddie’ poem written about it… you know like Willy Wombat, that sort of thing… suddenly I got ‘jellyfish’ and hey, who needs a name? Ha ha, glad you enjoyed. Terry

Lindsay Laurie January 10, 2022 at 3:13 PM G'day Terry ... taking a Man O' War anywhere is asking for trouble. They're dangerous devils - thanks Terry - Lindsay Terry Flood January 11, 2022 at 4:22 PM Thanks, Lindsay. Guess I’ll take my own advice then! ;-) Terry

Gershon Wolf January 5, 2022 at 5:16 PM Hahaha! Your last line really got me, Terry. Bravo! ~ Sea Biscuit

Ilene Bauer January 4, 2022 at 2:25 PM hilarious and adorable, terry! love it! Terry Flood January 4, 2022 at 2:45 PM Just one of those nutty poems that make you grin but you’re not really sure why. Glad you enjoyed, Ilene. Terry

Tom Cunningham January 4, 2022 at 1:55 PM Sounds like a painful experience Terry, we live and learn, until the next time lol. Tom Terry Flood January 4, 2022 at 2:29 PM Just a bit of playful nonsense. Tried hard to fit ‘Portuguese’ in but it wasn’t having it. Cheers, Tom. Terry

P.S. Awtry January 4, 2022 at 1:22 PM funny and painful all at once! Terry Flood January 4, 2022 at 2:48 PM Thank you P.S. I grin every time I read even though it’s mad. How would we ever explain humour to an alien? (surely there’s a poem in that question). Terry

David Kavanagh January 4, 2022 at 1:03 PM Hilarious ridiculous preposterous, intelligent and brilliant love this one Terry, I won’t even ask why or how this came to life, although I once stepped on a spiny sea anemone in Portugal, with both my feet for Christ sake, you can imagine the mess, agony and hospital, thanks for the laugh and reminding me, cheers David David Kavanagh January 4, 2022 at 3:08 PM I jumped off a pedal boat thingamajig a long way off shore, thinking it was about 50 ft deep, but I landed on a shallow bank it must’ve been a breeding ground for anemones, I was still pulling spines out at least a month later, thanks for the Jelly Wobble advise, Terry Flood January 4, 2022 at 2:57 PM Both feet? Blimey, was it a foot across or were you doing a pirouette? If ever you were to do a thesis on ‘Jelly Wobble’ just jot down your first sentence and you’ve got an A star… well, ridiculous and preposterous are accurate, as for the rest… modesty precludes comment. Thanks, David. Terry

Justin Clason January 4, 2022 at 11:31 AM Enjoyed this. Reminds me of Shel Silverstein. Good job. Terry Flood January 4, 2022 at 12:47 PM Thankyou Justin. Hadn’t read that poet before. Have now and can only say I’m flattered. Thanks again. Terry
