The Cliche

Who are you?
What is the time?
Before you move
Ask but answer -
Early Bird catcheth the worm!
Are you the bird or the worm?
If the bird, be prompt
If the worm, be late

I rejoice with the sun
As a prompt musician
Flapping my wings here and there
Agile mood to prepare
For flair on long day’s flight
Then fly back to nest at night.

Man Named Peter

There was a man named Peter
Who couldn't write a love letter.
      He watched a movie
      For a prompt shorty.
He ended up being a jester.

five with the same topic takes a toll;
How many ways can you say 
the same thought in a new way?
I suppose I will just sit and troll.
