My dream house no longer a mega mansion it needs to be
with ceilings so high in them clouds can be seen
No more acres of gardens with streams and ponds and fountains galore
no more glorious stories stacked to heaven floor by floor
Gold leaf decadence covering ceilings and trim
fifty bedrooms with en suites adjoining them
Kitchens massive and elaborate just for show
for a cooking kitchen behind each where meals would flow
Dinning halls and sitting areas a theater or two
elevators near every grand stairway never wear out a shoe
Rooms named for directions such as the east parlor
rooms so large to communicate it echos as you holler
Library with rare wood paneling three stories high
filled with rare books and manuscripts stack to the sky
Powder rooms and rest areas here and there
with hallways and galleries filled with art to stare
Porches and balconies terraces verandas all grandeur
outside is the inside all in gorgeous splendor
A stately foyer as big as a house
laundry rooms and craft rooms and a cat to catch a mouse
These are just a few things my dream house once used to be
but now that I am much older I get more practical with need
For now my dream house just needs to be cozy and clean
with a quiet area to write a poem or two for a feeling serene.
~Give More And More~
(Rhyme)
The more around I see
The more and more I want I say
Give me more and more
Give me more now I say
I don't really care at all
You can make it small or tall
Give me more today I say
Give me more and more to play
The more I see the more I want.
Give me more and more don't say you can't
I don't really care at all
It can be big as a house or tall as a wall
Give me a ladder big and as tall
Give it to me to climb that tall wall
I don't really care anymore if I fall
Anything is better than none at all
The more and more I want and I say
The more and more I see and I do
Give me more and more for today
Give me more to have and play
Give me more and more to hold and play
Give it to me small or tall I say
I don't really care if it is small as an ant
Or if it is big and mean as my aunt
Give me more and more today I say
Give it to me as high as the sky
Give it to me yellow red or blue
Give me more and more today to play
Make it big or small
Make it small or tall
Make it hairy or bold
Give it to me quick as you're told
Give me more and more I say
Give me more and more today
I don't really care if you don't want
I don't really care if you can't
Give me more and more as the sky
Give me more and more just as high
Make it big as a house
Or make it small as a mouse
Give me more and more to see with my eyes
Give me more and more to hold and play
Make it small or tall
Anything is better than none at all
Give me more and more I say
Give it to me as tall as the sky
Give me a ladder as big and tall
Give it to me to climb that wall.

~ Author's Notes:
Just from a very young child's perspective of thinking sometimes, we know how kids are at times, lol...Though, this is just a children's poem and from a innocent child's
point of view :)..
Ever seen a mouse
As big as a house
Or a fly as big as your eye
How bout a bee
With a sunburned knee
Or a turkey that sniffles and cries
What about a chicken
Wearing green mittens
Or a kangaroo singing the blues
An elephant with hands
Doing hand stands
Or a hippo wearing green shoes
Here's a few more
A gold fish that roars
Or a cat with a pink feathered hat
A pet cockatoo
Named Bartholomew
Or a sensitive tiger named Matt
Or finally a goat
Sailing a boat
With a pipe sticking out of his gob
A squirrel with a cold
And a tooth made of gold
Or a hamster who's first name is Bob
Ever seen a mouse
As big as a house
Or a fly as big as your eye
How bout a bee
With a sunburned knee
Or a turkey that sniffles and cries
What about a chicken
Wearing green mittens
Or a kangaroo singing the blues
An elephant with hands
Doing hand stands
Or a hippo wearing green shoes
Here's a few more
A gold fish that roars
Or a cat with a pink feathered hat
A pet cockatoo
Named Bartholomew
Or a sensitive tiger named Matt
Or finally a goat
Sailing a boat
With a pipe sticking out of his gob
A squirrel with a cold
And a tooth made of gold
Or a hamster who's first name is Bob

How Many?
going to St. Ives
met folks on that smelly bus
more than I could count
Just Sleep Walking?
Wee Willy Winky
caught outside a boy’s window
in a night garment
Got Wool?
naked in the lane
three bags-full of wool sheared off
baa baa black sheep fleeced
She Didn’t Know What to Do!
Kids’ cries from inside -
outside an old woman’s shoe
child welfare people
Clean Your Plate!
Licking their plates clean
Jack Sprat and wife do their part. . .
kids starve in China

pail of spilled water
Jill’s body sprawled over Jack’s
one big bloody mess

Humpty takes a spill
the whole army can’t fix him
omelets for lunch
Baby Catches On
the church and steeple
and now you show me people?
those are just fingers!
They Say He Couldn’t Keep Her!
gossip in the town
pumpkin shell big as a house. .
where is Peter’s wife?
Bye, Hushed Baby
the sound of wind’s rush
baby’s cries abruptly hushed
broken branch on ground
*I'm choosing this series of haiku for several reasons.
First, it's the only post I made named "Twisted" so it
is an obvious choice. Second, I do have other poems
I consider a bit twisted, but, I simply cannot
remember the titles of some of these really old poems
to look for them. Finally, this series was inspired by
a long ago contest of PD's in which I got the idea
to take nursery rhymes and twist them, and so
I'm reviving this series which can no longer be
viewed by anybody here unless it's in a contest!
This morning, my yard was hopping
with squirrels and rabbits busily shopping
for pine needles, berries, and cones,
perfumes, oils, and sweet colognes,
to entice partners for this evening's bebopping.
The fox said to the wolf in a huff.
"We're making this problem way too tough.
You take that goat, Sandie,
and I'll take that lamb, Randy.
And we'll split Porks, if that ain't enough."
There was some tumultuous to do
in the pouch of mommy kangaroo.
The twins were jumping and springing,
doing summersaults and singing,
making mommy kangaroo ~ so blue.
Tiny birds scooting across the street,
hopping on their three-toed, little feet.
A car misses them by inches ~
they'd be dead if they were finches!
Tiny birds! Get off the street! Tout sweet!
I chanced on a cat as big as a bear
who was all covered in grizzly, brown hair.
He was cornered by a mouse
as big as a house!
And guess who there was trembling in fear.
"You look like a million bucks
in your elegant white tux,"
said the ravenous wolf to a lamb.
"But though you look pretty in it,
don't think for a minute
I'm not gonna eat you, cuz I am."
Two smart crows peck at a road-kill cat,
plucking bits of liver, lungs, and fat.
Crow one inquires of crow two:
"How's this feline tasting to you?"
"Much finer than last week's sewer rat."
A third of the ducklings is three,
waddling behind Mama Shérie.
If a duck is a bird,
and three is a third,
how many birds do you see?
Life in this big old fishbowl
was never quite completely whole,
till Wally the walrus
came to dwell among us,
and gave this fishbowl some soul.
Oh, kiddies, please be alert!
Here live dangerous dragons that squirt
all manner of green ire
and orangy hell fire,
and if you get hit, you’ll be hurt.
Ever seen a mouse
As big as a house
Or a fly as big as your eye
How bout a bee
With a sunburned knee
Or a turkey that sniffles and cries
What about a chicken
Wearing green mittens
Or an kangaroo singing the blues
An elephant with hands
Doing hand stands
Or a hippo wearing green shoes
Here's a few more
A gold fish that roars
Or a cat with a pink feathered hat
A pet cockatoo
Named Bartholomew
Or a sensitive tiger named Matt
Or finally a goat

With a pipe sticking out of his gob
A squirrel with a cold
And a tooth made of gold
Or a hamster who's first name is Bob

(Silly& humorous children's poem in the style of Dr. Seuss)
The more around I see
The more and more I want I say
Give me more and more
Give me more now I say
I don’t really care at all
You can make it small or tall
Give me more today I say
Give me more and more to play
The more I see the more I want.
Give me more and more don’t say you can’t.
I don’t really care at all
It can be big as a house or tall as a wall
Give me a ladder big and as tall
Give it to me to climb that tall wall
I don’t really care anymore if I fall
Anything is better than none at all
The more and more I want and I say
The more and more I see and I do
Give me more and more for today
Give me more to have and play
Give me more and more to hold and play
Give it to me small or tall I say
I don’t really care if it is small as an ant
Or if it is big and mean as my aunt
Give me more and more today I say.
Give it to me as high as the sky.
Give it to me yellow red or blue
Give me more and more today to play.
Make it big or small.
Make it small or tall.
Make it hairy or bold.
Give it to me quick as you’re told.
Give me more and more I say.
Give me more and more today.
I don’t really care if you don’t want
I don’t really care if you can’t
Give me more and more as the sky
Give me more and more just as high.
Make it big as a house
Or make it small as a mouse.
Give me more and more to see with my eyes.
Give me more and more to hold and play.
Make it small or tall.
Anything is better than none at all.
Give me more and more I say.
Give it to me as tall as the sky.
Give me a ladder as big and tall.
Give it to me to climb that wall.
