Smiles

Today I feel a little goofy
Hair wild and is all poofy

I made oatmeal it is so sloppy
Have to drink it with my coffee

Can not walk as my feet are going flip floppy
No swimming either the water is to choppy

Ding dong no nothings wrong
My clock just went bing bong

If this poem to your face brought a smile
Or maybe you just laughed for awhile

Then please know that I am happy as well
As I am locked back up in my padded cell

To hell with this serious stuff, eh, Carol? I will always read humor in a minute because I am somewhat of a nut myself. Bring on the straight jacket. Congrats on the selection. Love, daver

Is there room for two in your padded cell, Carol. My hair is "poofy" today too and I always feel a bit goofy. Delightful entry for Francine's contest. Wishing you success! Love, Carolyn
