Carl Fraser Poet Rhyme

Naughty Little Rose

I stopped to smell the roses
and a thorn stabbed me in the nose
Then an angry bee  flew up my shorts
And left me dancin on my toes
I started running for my doorstep
Sting ointment was my desparate need
But i tripped going up the steps
And it gave me bloody knees
My nose was bleeding profusely
The bee stinging me you know where
I was screaming like a wild banshee
Who was caught up in a snare
I went through the door in a mad frenzy
My wife saw my wild-eyed stare
She heard my screams of agony
Then she laughed like she didnt care
I bolted for the bathroom
I spread the ointment tween my thighs
I showered the blood off my knees and nose
Then i slipped and blackened both my eyes.
Theres a moral to my story
A life lesson very true,
When you stop to smell the roses
Maybe the roses are smelling you.

John Beharry November 15, 2013 at 8:39 PM This is my No.1. The theme of the contest was "Lessons in life are funny". I think your poem is very funny and there is lesson or moral to it which you spell out so it satisfies both requirements very well. I have viewed the others. Most are funny but I am left wondering what is the lesson in them. Congratulations! Carl Fraser November 16, 2013 at 1:25 AM Thankyou John, i appreciate it, Carl
