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 ___________________ September 9, 2021 Poetry/Rhyme/Silly Babble Copyright Protected, ID 09-1387-686-09 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Nonsense Rhyme sponsor, Charles Messina, 2021, Judged 10/26/2021 Fifth Place

(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
