Sheep with attitude did the cha cha cha
I am kidding actually, you know that Ma.
These two arrogant ninnies take themselves too seriously
Their faces are always staid and staunch, I said deliriously.
They tromp around the barnyard showing off.
Ignoring the chickens and the goat’s loud cough.
We call them names behind their back.
Like persnickety, prissy, dullards off the rack.
Stuck up and arrogant, they shake their feet.
Being around these two is no delight or treat.
Sheep with attitude dress in ridiculous clothes.
Where do they get them? Only the affected rooster knows.
Alliteration
By Franklin Price
6/26/2105
Alliteration alludes alliance
Defeats deductive daunts defiance
Connects constructive conjugation
Needs a niche nice new libation
Poets possibly pen prime prose
Never neglect nor need to know
Poor people perfectly pronouncing please
Nine nimble ninnies on knobby knees
Fabulous fiction fantastic facts
Anchors altering adjusting acts
Elusive elves eliciting verbs
Babbling bumblers bubbling blurbs
Nonsensical nuance nearly nice
Needs neural knowledge naughty spice
These thoughts try timely to titillate
Greatly gregarious not just gigantically great
Poems Become Splendid
Reading my impressive poems and what you might do
Is send me an elegant comment after you view
After each one you have tried to select;
Give me thoughts and ideas and ways to correct.
Search through my poems than try to behoove,
Style and way which I write, I can improve;
You can either be macro-viewed or specific;
Then I can make each poem become terrific.
No one's feelinings would I ever want to hurt;
Like when wife hated my dirty, well-worn shirt;
After further thinking, my poem I have ended;
Tell me how I can make my poem become splendid.
PS. Feelinings are for those who are ninnies.
Of which I'm sure there may be many's.
Wow, an artistic poet. How about that?
