Minister Jenna Williams Poet Free verse

The Terrible Threes

The Terrible Threes

The terrible threes
Are here at last
The terrible threes
I wish were past.

The terrible threes
They scrape their knees
The terrible threes
They snot, they sneeze.

The terrible threes
Are worse than twos
The terrible threes
They go "boo-hoo."

The terrible threes
Are terrible, incorrigible
The terrible threes
They're just plain horrible.

The terrible threes
Know how to climb trees
The terrible threes
Know how to say, "Please."

Eric Boddie January 21, 2016 at 11:37 PM how about the furious four or the frantic five....the screaming sixes and sarcastic sevens will solidify how we strive....that's when the eventful eight and notorious nine will test you from the very point where you begin....because they become our tens, the types that others can call friends....great write Jennifer....;) Minister Jenna Williams August 25, 2020 at 6:24 PM I actually went back and wrote a poem for ones, threes, fours, and I forget what else. Will b posting soon. Sorry it took so long. Been going thru some stuff last couple of years Minister Jenna Williams February 16, 2016 at 8:44 PM Haha! Good one! Lol!
