THE NEW ARRIVALS

A lovely Llama called Lin Got her head stuck in a bin She gave a shy yelp We all dashed to help And tended the cut on her chin She’s got such a pretty white coat It’s much softer than that of a goat Her poetry is divine How I wish it were mine Then I’d be able to smile and gloat WRITTEN BY JAN ALLISON Lin the llama is grateful to have such kind friends She'll send thank you notes when her chin mends Not a dim llama ~ she can spell And signs her name with "L.L." Now she hosts parties for her friends on weekends WRITTEN BY LIN LANE L.L. the llama is pretty smart And she has a very kind heart People like her verses And she never curses Her poems are works of art WRITTEN BY DALE GREGORY COZART Her "time" has been late for a llama A dead rabbit hints she is a mama With tears she orates As her belly inflates With so much mama llama drama! WRITTEN BY ROGERPAT ADAMS 08-14-17 Lin the llama when its time for bed wears red pyjamas so the song said But that’s just a cute rumour. (Lin's got a sense of humour) she wears nothing but a smile instead! WRITTEN BY SEREN ROBERTS L.L is pregnant! Ring it from the bell tower We'll have a llama party for a baby shower Decorations of pink and blue Will you come? Oh please do Congratulations, Lin. You're llama of the hour WRITTEN BY MARTI SUTHERLAND Lin was tired from her extended girth Soon it was time for her to give birth She gave birth to cute twins Now her trouble begins Their sweet antics are sure to bring mirth WRITTEN BY JAN ALLISON They both looked exactly the same So cute but it still was a shame When one made a mess She had to confess She wasn’t sure which one to blame WRITTEN BY CHRIS GREEN Lovely llama has been looking cool. Since the pregnancy ruined her wool, All her wool she's shaved off, and should anyone scoff, she'll say, "Llamas need follow no rule!" WRITTEN BY ANDREA DIETRICH Lin llama is a classic poet, Writing rhymes is her forte, you bet, She named one twin Ben, Another was Ken, Now she plans to add Glen to the set. WRITTEN BY JO DANIEL Oh Lin Llamas troubles now begins having to cope with troublesome twins, though she may cry and shout love will be in no doubt even when they're doing naughty things.

I just love the way the 'story' has evolved and the Roger was responsible for the pregnancy limerick ... we just need to know who's the daddy and the twins need names too - call me crazy lol but heck it brings a bit of fun to soup which is so lack luster at the moment lol:-) hugs jan xx

I love llamas. They're a bit stuck-up, but that's life. Yep - I envy other people's poems and wish they were mine. But I can't pinch 'em. That would be p...p...pl...pla... no, I can't say the word.

Lin Lane
Date: 8/15/2017 4:09:00 AM

You're such a sweet friend, Jan. Thank you. One day we'll make it happen.

Jan Allison
Date: 8/14/2017 5:04:00 PM

lol Charlie I found i have learned so much from some lovely folks on the site who have encouraged me since I started writing and posting on soup in Feb 2014. I would never plagerise a poem it is theft, but you can learn so much from watching the way people write and Lin has such a beautiful style and she's not a stuck up llama and i would love to meet her one day if I ever get across the pond:- lol:-) hugs jan xx
