Mice Pal Ling Ease Find

I SUGGEST READING ALOUD TO MAKE SENSE OF THIS MESS


Eyed bean tort sins butt her might
nurse sirree rimes an pomes re site

pry Mary cull hers read an blew 
numb hers wan two a tea to

Anne Singh a long width "Whet Whet Whet"
butt knot lettuce off thee alpha bet 

off cause, eats plane four hugh two sea
eye no knot my aye, bee, sea

inn stead off righting poet tree 
isle writer diction hairy 

***********************************

I should right my wrongs here.  In this piece there is not one word correctly spelled, yet they're all accepted English words.  Spelling errors get right up my gut and in poetry they detract from the flavor.
  

MY SPELLING IS FINE

I'd been taught since but a mite
nursery rhymes and poems recite
primary colors red and blue
numbers one to eighty-two
and sing along with "Wet Wet Wet"
but not letters of the alphabet
of course it's plain for you to see
I know not my A, B, C
instead of writing poetry
I'll write a dictionary


Debbie, I know you asked for serious, bilingual poetry.  I thought I'd throw this in the brew for fun.  Loved your example, by the way.  :)

You're back it's boom or bust and so happy we got the boom. You are hilarious and this is the treasure to keep us laughing. I did manage to make sense out of the first part. Loved it and the fact you are writing again! Love, Lizzie

I didn't try her bilingual contest, since I am not that but this is very cute and clever. I really had it almost right before you translated. I don't know if she will accept this as what she wants but she won't get anything more clever. Thank you for your nice comments. Love, Joyce

Delysia, you are a funny girl! I was able to grasp about half of this. I especially loved the last couplet! That was a really cute thought.
