Scribble scrabble dribble drabble
What is that scratching?
I still myself and listen
Is it coming from the oak tree or ground?
A tiny but gorgeous fluffy caramel mouse is in my leaves
I watch her or him or they
She is nibbling on something
Her tiny hands are exquisitely pretty
I leave her to it, thinking I have never seen such a creature
Scribble scrabble dribble drabble
The oak tree winks at me
Life is great in the country today
Scribble scrabble scrimpy screech
Dribble drabble dimply dish
Sunny solemn simple sojourner
Boiling biting bunson burner
Wrinkly brinkly water bottle
Twisting words we rarely swaddle
Scribble Scrabble Scrimpy Screech
Bare your buttocks, bubbly beach.

Predictions nothing more nothing less
Am I right or am I always right? LOL
Ok this hasn't worked out as I thought, then again when do I out a lot
of though into anything?
Now they say Power corrupts, and I am one great and powerful poet.
There fore I must apologize for my corruption.
Carry on to Leon
One day I might even post a poem here
Thank you Jack, for that fine limerick I give you an aWard!
I don’t say because I don’t want to say
Talking is a game I don’t want to play
I don’t say because my words last
I don’t say because you don’t ask.
It’s the silence I give that says the most to you
I don’t wasn’t to chat, don’t want to boast to you
I don’t want to talk, or take your time
Why don’t you ignore me, pretend I’m a mime.
I’m not looking for sympathy, pity, or gossip
I never even asked, so right now just stop this
I don’t want to talk back then, tomorrow, or today
How about instead of talking, I just don’t say.
It’s the words that you drabble that I don’t give, I don’t take.
For me, it’s simple silence that I would rather make
So if you ask me whatever, I won’t tell you, okay?
Don’t talk, don’t listen, don’t ask, don’t say.
