John Lawless Poet Rhyme

Minichu

He said it was a Minichu
I said “it’d fit inside a shoe”
He said “there’s new rules
That you must heed”
“Oh God,” I sighed
“it’s a whole new breed”
No teachers here
Know how to teach it
I’ll have to trap it
Train it, leash it.
Fact is that’s not the “math I’m after”
In search of rowdy, raucous laughter.

Jerry Brotherton September 12, 2023 at 5:35 PM If it's rowdy, raucous laughter you want, you get it from me. Does a Minichu live in one of those balls that the kids battle with in the cartoons. Perhaps a smaller version of a Peekachu.

Ink Empress September 12, 2023 at 11:54 AM “Its not the math im after” as a deep thinker i perceived that in so many ways! Clever and creative write that also is a fun read. You have a way with making your readers smile! So refreshing to read this. I was always a rule breaker in high school. Are minichus some sort of a form? Loved this John Lawless September 12, 2023 at 2:44 PM alas, a play on words "aftermath" usually Chemistry oh stop!!!! They are a form "invented"by a PS member and now part of a contest.....which i broke all the rules for.

Lin Lane September 12, 2023 at 8:50 AM Well doggone it, John you had me laughing through it all. Not at all what your title promotes, but therein lies your cleverness. John Lawless September 12, 2023 at 2:58 PM well Lin, I couldn't find a definition of Minichu in the PS forms menu...and the muse just went all puppy on me.
