Back when I was a wee kiddle
And in my dreams I would piddle
The Lone Ranger
Saved us from danger
Wear a mask like LR it's not a riddle
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.
