Show Us

The snippity snip-snap of her bluff,
frankly, should have been enough.
To turn us away from such evil stuff.
We are Missouri Billy Goats Gruff
So it takes a little bit more of a huff
a smack down, belt or more obvious rebuff.
To make us know it is more than enough.

Love this, Caren. When I started reading the first line my mind went to a snip-snap bar :) don't know why. I even like this for a children's rhyme.

Thank you Eve. I am glad you like it. I write monorhymes when I feel I am in a slump.

great use of monorhyme, Caren. Ruff ruff! (that's me trying to sound like a barking dog saying well done)

Thank you Andrea. Pant. Pant. That's my doggie tongue salivating in appreciation.
