This is a very different sort of poem, it will grow with every guess you make. For every guess I will write a few lines. So, what is it about? This drawing here, made by my niece? What is it? Take a guess, do it, put it in a comment! Watch the poem grow, hopefully the first commenter doesn't guess right LOL, or else it will be an extremely short poem!


This was a lot of fun, I hope you liked it too. I'll solve the mystery now.

This is a SPIDER.

It has an enormous amount of legs, and a very gentle, smiling face :)

The Poem That Grows On You :) I was in advance having a bit of fun Because I knew one of the comments would be: "It is the SUN" Sorry Daniel, it was not right Hope someone else will see the light! Tim's Santa has the strangest beard and hair grows out of his ears He lacks his hat, he looks quite weird Will be ridiculed by his peers No Santa, Tim, but nice you volunteered. Carol dragged a bushy smoking man Away from his cigar Thinking that my little niece Would leave that poor man in peace No Carol, he'll run off as fast as he can! Daniel roars a second time in Lion's costume, good try But Daniel you don't conquer this lion ;) So'll add more to this rhyme Try a third time, don't be shy? Heidi chose an animal Raggedy, rugged dog But his eyes are a little small He looks more like a hedgehog Oh! did I spoil the fun now? Not at all! Carol thought she was smart 'Happy face?', we that wasn't hard ;) Yes the thingy has a face But oh where do we place it? Is this animal, or person-art? Lynn made it a Dora band-aid With frayed edges and fringes and all Well Lynn, I am afraid No Dora, no band-aid, but hey Kid draws bad, but is still so small ;)

She's the cutest little girl ever :) Thank you Heidi, sometimes it is nice to bring a smile to people's faces.

Sorry I'm too late for this. The picture is clearly the psychoanalytic meaning of history. Nieces and insects - at age 2 or 3, one of my nieces ate a slug. Yuck!!

Hey there Doug! Shame you were too late :) Would you have guessed it was a spider?

All of you thank you for having a bit of fun with me, I liked it :) My little niece is smitten with snails and spiders. And this is a spider :) I am glad no one guessed it right, it means I can eat this chocolate cake all by myself..... YUMM

It is a VERY happy face, but it is on some person, or animal, so.... that doesn't count ;)

Okay, this is not the same drawing as before... I would say a certain bug but I am thinking this is an Uncle's mug ;) with the mic and wonderfully, wild, curly hair. :)

Hahaha! :D It was the spider! I wondered... well, it was a stretch for it to be you as the hair has no curl and yours does ;)

Is it a guy with his hair standing up who has a bushy beard smoking a cigar? The color green as he might be feeling ill?
