Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Silly Billy - Nursery Rhyme

Silly Billy went and ate
all the cookies his mom baked.
Getting too sick was his fate
for his tummy ached and ached.

You might think this silly guy
would have learned his lesson, right?
When his mother made a pie,
it then disappeared from sight.

Billy, like a big fat hog -
He had gobbled it all down!
He got sicker than a dog.
Mention pies, and still he’ll frown.

Timothy Hicks April 12, 2021 at 2:39 PM Goats never seem to learn. Were I in his shoes I’d probably do the same (gotta have that pie!). Good luck in the contest.

Sara Kendrick April 12, 2021 at 2:28 PM Whoa!! I know that was some bad experiences for Billy but he enjoyed it going down but I guess the illness helped him in the future from overdoing it again. He learned his lesson. Smart boy. Thanks for dropping by. I appreciate your comment on my work about plums. I like salt on them but have to be careful as to not eat too much salt. Sara
