Caren Krutsinger Poet Monorhyme

J's of My Youth

Jimmy Cracked Corn, and I simply don’t care,
Jimminy Cricket, Pinnochio’s pair,
Jee Wilikers, said to world of blank air.
Jee Josephats, yelled on a sister’s dare,
Jeeze, jumping Jacks, why cousin, are you bare?
Jolly Joe Ice Cream, true story, I swear!

Jimmy Cracked Corn, oh, yellow and so fair,
Jimminy Cricket, please get out of my hair!
Jee Wilikers, name of Ed Cooley’s mare.
Jeeze, jumping jacks, Sue, I thought we were square.
Jolly Joe, honey, hot bread, we do tear.

J’s of my youth, lie in my memory’s lair.
Bring them out to play, only when I dare.

M. L. Kiser November 27, 2018 at 9:25 PM Isn't it fun to see how many lyrics you can create to one piece of music? Good stuff. Caren Krutsinger November 27, 2018 at 10:21 PM I know I had a blast doing it! You are surely young enough to know what a "blast" is. Right?

I usually put it aside for a day or two, then BAM there is a poem in the morning, and I wake up singing it.
