Notes About The Poem

Those Single Cell Cuties: Minions

OH NO!  We're all alone again. 
      No Master to tell us when
or even what we must do 
      We're all sad and feelin' blue.

Can someone give us a suggestion, 
     point us in the right direction
in our search for a new boss? 
     Without one, we Minions are at a loss.

If anyone can hear our voices 
     please tell us what are our choices.
Come closer, we won't bite
     You won't satisfy our appetite.

Would you help in our search? 
     Don't tell us to look in a church.
That's not the kind of dominion 
     to find a new leader for a Minion.

We're not telling you lies. 
     Are you afraid because of our eyes?
Well, you don't have to frown!
      Stop it, or we'll smack you down!

Kevin said, No. It's not good to be bad 
      like our old masters who were mad.
No more naughty corner for us, boys. 
     No more evil masters treating us like toys.

We may be little and yellow 
     but that's no reason to abuse a fellow.
Time to find a good Master. 
     One who won't make us create disaster.

YES! Let's go tell the other Minions
      we've greased our brain pinions.
We'll not be 'impish guys." 
     Maybe those bananas made Stuart wise.
                    *********

They're still roaming all about
     seeking a Master who isn't a lout.
Good luck, Minions; when you've found the one
     keep making silly movies and having fun.

I hope the new Master they find 
     will be good to them, gentle and kind.
It would end their blue depression 
     and maybe their naughty acts of aggression.

These days those cuties of a single cell, 
     sometimes still raise a little bit of hell.
The Minions always make me laugh. 
     Maybe they'll send me their autograph!

Lin, you did so well with this. I did not even know they were sngle cell creatures. Frankly, I have no idea what they are. I might attempt a senryu for this one. I could never approach the detail you have put into yours!
