Hum Ditty Hum

Hum ditty hum 
Fathom my fumbling thumbs
My fat fingers were fiddling
A tune that was middling
Never a merrier man than me

I ran downstairs
to play musical chairs - 
how I do recall!

I kept repeating
changing seating
'til there were none at all.

Wee Witty Ditty

I once met an psychic Gypsy
Who warned me not to get tipsy
I always got drunk
But who would have thunk
I'd end up in Mrs. Shipsea*

*Mississippi?

Just a day?  I hear you say,
‘What of the other days
When I put on their P.Js?’

Though certainly they endear
It’s much to persevere,
How 'bout we make it a year!

Premium Member A Silly Little Love Ditty

You are my Snow White,
And I am your Prince Charming,
I’ve known it deep in my heart,
That no dragon nor serpent,
Nor witch’s potion,
Would ever dare to keep us apart.

(to be read to the tune of Papa was a rolling stone)


Papa was a rolling egg
Wherever he laid a hen chicks were made
And when he flied-
The coop you know was left undone.

You're extremely attractive 
This much is true 
A bouquet of flowers
Has nothing on you
Admittedly fawning 
I plead guilty of
But I really can't help it
I'm so much in love

Ditty

Kiss the midnight sky!
I remember who you are.
Sow the seeds of sorrow,
Of a written birthmark scar.
Why are you so wistful?
You asked, it can’t be said.
Eternal rotten romance,
Running through my head.

Premium Member This Ditty

In limerick form is this ditty,

A rhyme not sublime, but it’s witty.

I’m a Word Warrior who

Kicks a rhyme like Kung-fu.

Don’t HAI-ku me. It won’t be pretty!

A Cautionary Ditty Concerning Fast Food

There was a girl called Polly Esther,
the fastest girl from downtown Leicester.
Pre-packaged food was her sole fare,
For healthy meals she had no care.
In the tum for food there's room.
There plastic wrappings end in doom

Hum a Did Ditty

Road rumbles
through  wind roaring leaves
Shod hooves tap rhythm
On tarmac drum skin
Fresh washed  and dried 
in Summer rain and sun
A catbird and wren
Compete for center stage
As bush and branch
Sway in the waltzing wind’s
Life scented wetness

Spring Ditty

Oh, this lovely warming trend,
mild temperatures wind does send,
flowers bud and birds awaken,
snows are past, to be forsaken,
sweaters are shed, and mittens too,
sky is now a beautiful blue,
but most of all, I think you’ll guess,
I like that now---people wear less.

My Heart's Little Ditty

If ever there were a winner here
It would be Me, Myself, and I
The one you have so chosen
To hold beside you under nighttime sky
While owls hoot a lullaby
And my heart cries out a little ditty
Goodbye says my heart
To the fear, the 
Loneliness,
The unrest, so unsettled in my soul

MOONSHINER'S DITTY - Collaboration

Gonna drink moonshine
Get drunk as a skunk
Then go into town
Beat up on some punk

Get thrown in jail 
'Til I get sobered up
Start drinking again
Then puke it all up

Premium Member -A Diet Ditty

No longer will l sin

Treat my temple like a bin

Shoving all and sundry in

So l will bear and grin

Take it on the chin

To be happy in my skin

Be healthy within

No more biscuits from the tin

Against the bulge l will win

Today l will begin 

To do and feel better!

Premium Member Momma's Ditty

Sometimes 
Alone 
I've sat
And thought, 
About 
Just this 
And that 

I think 
About 
A lot 
Of things,
My wife 
My life 
My cat

Today
I thought 
About 
Someone, 
Who floods   
My eyes 
With tears 

I know 
You know
It's you 
Mother,
I've missed 
You all 
These years
Form: Lyric

I prefer being me!

My get up and go
Got up and went,
I’m repenting my sins
For wasted days I have spent.
It’s ok for me to not show up
Though I hate letting people down,
Would you rather I ‘had a face on’
Or laugh whilst wearing a frown?
Without sounding selfish
And I’m sure you agree,
It’s good being You
But I prefer being ME!!

Ditty For Joey

Sixteen years he’s graced this Earth,
many challenges, but also mirth,
so frigging smart, like off the charts,
I know he’ll capture many hearts,
but troubled still, with many pains,
hope he’ll shed those invisible chains,
and march out into this great world,
band a-playing and flags unfurled,
ready to take his place in line,
I love this eldest child of mine.

A Little Ditty Inspired By Trip Number 2

trip number 2
a good place to be with you
the work we did to get here
we deserve to face each fear

trip number 2
only to be done by a chosen few
the sleep we lost to invest and save
we deserve to anticipate as well as crave

trip number 2
many exclmations of 'LOOK AT THE VIEW!'
the aches and pains we have had to deal with
it is an honor to be blessed with you to chill with

Premium Member A Ditty To a Poet From the City

Here is a little ditty
  To a poet from the City

She writes of common things
  Yet makes the routine sing

Her style is perfect rhyme
  Its beat is mighty fine

A chronicler of daily events
  She walks the dog, pays the rent

The subjects may be ordinary
  But her poetry is extraordinary
  
A tower of poetic power
  She is, of course, Ilene Bauer



Keep writing, Ilene. Love your poems!!

Morning Ditty

When the whispers of dusk dissipates rapidly,
And the whiskers of dawn displays happily,
The lath of life deals dew on sodden grace.
In the glare of blazing beam will the sun
Surmise above uncertainty to declare the fore.
Mellow hands are reclined in graceful supplication
For what you bear ahead the bare sane recluses.
But when the ears of primal reel meticulously adhere,
The grid of lines hovering on heels will melifluosly adorn.
