Silly Babble

One dark night in the sunshine
I was wearing my PJ's made of wine
in the kitchen I boiled water in a plastic bowl
and made peanut butter toast that was an egg roll
and prepared coffee that was tea in a plate
the rain fell in the snowflakes falling in the sea
I was lacing my runners that were my slippers 
and put on my sleeveless coat and glove flippers
I when to the market that was far off shore
and put the groceries away in a drawer
I wrote a poem and put it in the freezer
and brushed my cat with a tweezer
later, I turned on the TV with a rolling pin
and kitty was wearing a sweater made of shark skin

(chucking) Well, this certainly is nonsense. I have enjoyed the entries in Charles's contest so much. I sure wouldn't want the job of judging it! They are all superb!

Constance, we all need to write a few lines of drivel now and then. Really, we do. It is good for us. I'm just embarrassed that other folks read mine! (chuckling)

Milt, lol, it is like I needed to have a mental ailment to write this nonsense poem but it was fun and far, far away from my comfort zone. I bet Charlie gets lots of fun poems ~ peace and tranquility _Constance
