Red Wattled Lapwing Bird

Oh,my dear Red wattled lapwing bird,                                                                               Are you a naughty, nature noisy bird,                                                                 When I tried to catch a butterfly,                                                                           You made a did-you-do-it lullaby,                                                                                No one escape from your vigilant eye ,                                                          Your act is an alarm for creatures, not a lie.

Premium Memberthe spoon is the wise one

the fork thought the knife and spoon were against her
A conspiracy was in the works, their mission impure
She used her ring finger and accused them of a conspiracy
The spoon pointedly ignored her and stirred up his green tea

The knife was not as wise as the spoon and argued most of the day
It seemed to give them satisfaction said the spoon named Gray.
They are used to arguing, it is their way to be romantic he thought.
He had heard his parents scraping and hissing since he was a tot.

Premium Memberoverfed rooster

overfed rooster had a harem of eight little hens
they brought his feed, as he sat on his whims
fattened him up, so that he started to look like a hulk.
He demanded cranberry juice, and they brought it in bulk

It is their fault I am getting bigger he told the goat next door.
They are always bringing me tasty goodies to store.
I spend my afternoons lying around in bed with a snore.
How much more can I eat? I am as wide as a door.

Premium Memberrainbow zebra

rainbow zebra was outrageously out
he pranced and wiggled his tail about
proud of his quirky ways and his unique design
a quintessential artist; I am glad he is mine.

Premium MemberUFO chased us into the sixties

in 1966 the UFOs were so plentiful they chased us town to town
Back when our mothers vacuumed in pearls and an evening gown.
We were terrified we would be lifted up and probed unmercifully.
I think I feared UFOs and alien surgeries until about 1973.

Premium MemberBragging Charlotte

Charlotte the fancy hippo put on airs all the time
her clock was better than most, it had a lovely chime
She had the fanciest laces on her pantaloons, for sure.
Charlotte confided that she had sweet smelling manure

Some believed her but others knew much better.
We had smelled her gas through her jeans and sweater.
Today she is on a swing bragging it is the best around.
Some of us are hoping it breaks and she ends up on the ground.

bragging, boasting, brainy Barney Blithe brought buxom Betty Brown
braised, boiled, baloney. Beaming Betty Brown bestowed baked berry
baklava on Barney, besting bragging, boasting, brainy Barney Blithe.

Premium Membersallys boots

Sally’s boots were classy and colorful indeed
She had worn them to play outside with her steed
Better than any fashion boots you would ever need
pinks, reds, lime greens, turquoise and mustard seed.

The only problem is that they were a bit too fancy
Designed by her three sisters Flo, Janice and Nancy.
The silver tassels kept tripping her up, and she fell a lot.
I do not mind, because they are pretty said the little tot.

Sleep

The unknown only I know,
Where I find joy and peace.
A world of mine,
Every single thing glow.
All it takes is my eyes closed and I'll sleep.
Then I'll have a world so devine.

Premium MemberDiner Chat


   Sitting down to diner,
   Always a winner!
   Can tell the family about my day.
   Where I went.
   Who could play!
   About Billy who bit the dog,
   What I found under a log.

   Momma said, "Chew your food 100 times today."

   Started to count every chew.
   Got to 17.
   Lost count,
   Now what do I do?
   If I start over,
   I'll be here all night!
   No one will hear about my first day fight!

   Momma said, "Chew your food 100 times to do any good."

   I looked up how many times to chew your food.
   I found that 20 to 30 times is just as good!
   I wonder if Momma told me 100 times,
   So, I wouldn't tell her my new nursery rhyme?

Premium MemberCurly Sue

curly sue was enjoying lovely daisies and holly hocks too
she was soon surrounded by flowers of pink, red and blue
a picture was taken and published in a newspaper by Lu
a woman distantly related to the adorable young curly sue
