Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Couplet

Up-Se-Daisy

“Up-Se-Daisy”

I ran to my throne
To moan and groan
I had no belief
There would be relief.
Running quite fast.
Passing some lass.
Jumping those hurdles.
Faster than Myrtle...
I sat in my chair.
The weather was fair.
I thought that I heard…
Naw, that is absurd.
There was a sound
Laughter was found.
My throne said some words
And everyone heard.
Up--Se--daisy, baby
I said, "up--Se--daisy."
You're cracking my back.
And that is a fact.
Go lose some weight.
Do not hesitate.
Quick as a wink,
I ran to a shrink.
He said, “Up--Se--daisy, baby”
Yes! I said up--Se--daisy.
My mind was on spin.
The session did END.
I stood by his couch.
And it screamed, “Ouch!”
Up--Se--daisy, baby
I said up--Se--daisy….
