diddle-daddle idle chatter
many asked what was the matter?
he ran off to be a batter
running bases in pitter patter
bats he used would often shatter
titter tatter chitter chatter
time wasted said the now rich batter
he’s a big shot, said my cousin Datter
diddle-daddle, do nothing Dan
fiddle faddled with Francine’s fan
he’s your guy said her sis, he’s your man.
Too lazy to leap from a frying pan?
He is a sloth said his neighbor, Fran.

Happy New Year
Give it a shout
I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS HAPPY
SO GLAD SHE HAD COME ALONE
MY DAYS BEFORE WER CRAPPY
SINGING THAT SAD
LONESOME SONG
IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF SPECIAL LADY
AINT NO SHAME IN SAYING
YOU MIGHT THINK I'M CRAZY
ME AND THIS GAL
AINT PLAYING
PUT A BOUNCE IN MY WALK
GOT ME WALKING IN A BRAND NEW WAY
GOT TO TAKE MY TIME
WHEN I'M TALKING
I GOTTA WATCH WHAT I SAY
OBER, BOBER, DEW, DE WOOP
SKIP, DIP, DADDLE DE DEW.
SEE, BABY WHAT I'M
SAYING
CLEAR AND SIMPLE
I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!
I need a nonsense poem today.
To sooth my heart, to laugh and play.
I need a silly poem for me.
To make me frolic, laugh and see.
Fiddle faddle, dum diddly dee.
Diddle daddle, this is the life for me.
Piddle paddle, where on earth should we be?
Middle maddle, a child of the sea.
It makes my heart feel super fun.
It helps to let the nightmares run.
It makes me happy as can be.
A silly poem, which sets me free.
Riddle raddle, dum diddly dee.
Siddle saddle. This is my daily plea.
Biddle baddle. What is the point of me?
Kiddle kaddle. How happy can we be?
The naysayers are rolling their eyes right now.
They do not laugh. They do not “wow”.
A nonsense poem. Why do you have a need of this?
For it soothes my heart, like a gentle kiss.
Widdle waddle, waking me up in my head.
Ziddle zaddle, moving me from pink to red.
I need a silly poem for me.
To make me frolic, laugh and be.
Once upon a time
A diddle, a daddle
Just what's the matter
Y U trippin
Dipping and Sipping
Constantly spying
All this defining
Faucet running
Just because
zzzzzzzzzzzd bubble bubble trouble
I dropped the cell phone in the dish water???

Diddle daddle
Shes only three
Life in her mind
Is like smelling the roses
Dirt between her toes and bugs in her hair
Oh the joy it brings to her face
Weeds turn to flowers and in vases they go
Dancing is a must to the wind and the birds
Mud pies and berry cakes
Oh the thing you can bake
On sundays we go to Jesus house
We dance and sing for him everyday
Loves to learn aboit her father above
She loves it all, though her favorite thing of all
Is getting snuggles from mommy and future stepdaddy
And before she closes her eyes
She softly utters
"I love you mommy and daddy"
We kiss her goodnight
For shes creating another adventure for tomorrow.
