Slurp and Shriek Dancing Deep

I heard a prattling rattling battling noise In my children’s room, in the midst of their toys Slurp and Shriek Dancing deep A battling ram came out and gave me a peek Was that a battling ram? I asked my imaginary friend. She threw flowers on me and refused to bend. Dived into the toys Making even more noise I had to drag her out when she began to shriek. What are you doing in there? Yelled the only adult in the house. I figured it was my husband not a big mouse. I saved myself By parking my butt on a shelf Pretending to be a doll, wearing my very best blouse The slurps and the shrieks went on for awhile Imaginary Sally and I had started to smile Husband came in and took a peek But ran out again when he heard a shriek Written: March 14th, 2020 Contest: A Rattling Rhyme 2 Sponsor: Nina Parmenter
