What If

What If-- Rabbits and rhinos where the best of friends And wearing cheese upon your head was the latest trend? What If-- Giraffes were red and only three feet tall And you could put them in a stroller and take them to the mall? What If-- You had 17 brothers and they all slept in one big bed And you could eat watermelon while standing on your head? What If-- Your mother said "stop being silly", your getting out of hand But then she played the tuba while marching in the sand? What If-- Up was down and down was up, and there was no in-between And Mrs. Jones next door danced around like a fairy queen? What If-- I went on and on with this kind of crazy stuff And the cat began to scream " Thats just about enough!"? For the "What If " contest...hahaha

I see everyone is enjoying your poem, Barbara! Saw your comment on James Fraser's "Rock, Paper and Scissors." That should be an easy theme for your, fellow LNC. As for this entry, I'll eat live insects if it doesn't win. (And I'm sure you'll hold me to that.) Love, Carolyn

Oh,my,you thought of the ideal way to do this one. I am so jealous I did not have this idea. I took the theme far too seriously and didn't do a dang thing! I love this, and I can see it in childrens' book too!

You had me laughing out loud, dear LNC. I think Mrs. Jones lives on my block, but I won't be wearing cheese on my head to make a fashion statement. You are in a witty mood today, dear. Tried to call you and left a message. I do have the MRI scheduled for Thursday. Hope we can get to the bottom of these problems. No need to wish you luck in the contest. I'd give this a number 1 ~ Love, Carolyn
