Nonsensical Days

Miserably one bright sunny morning I was happy to see rain was pouring That day I went to a zoo in the sky Saw elephants fly, and hyenas cry. Zebras looked awesome, red, amber and green That was their stripes, the best I’ve ever seen The monkeys thrilled, swinging from star to star And all met up in the Milky Way bar. Yummy milkshakes in outer space With flavours to suit every taste Chocolate’s the best, flown from Mars Hand delivered by shooting stars. * * * One night out snowballing with my pal Josh ‘Twas hot in the sun so went for a jog Our horses started to gallop, pace slow High speed of a snail, yet fierce was the throw. We ended up flat on our backs face down Standing tall and proud lay down on the ground We ran all the way home, lame from the fall Parents went frantic, impressed by it all. 9th September 2021 Nonsense Rhyme Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Charles Messina

Read your poem Jennifer, I can’t believe that we both wrote a nonsense poem two years apart and both mentioned the Milky Way, now we’ve discovered both of us come under the same star sign - Virgo, it simply amazing… Hugs, Belle
