A lady named Rosie liked posies,
They always smelled good to folks' nose-ies.
She filled up her house
til one day her spouse
said Rosie's dang posies must go-sies....

Turned down by a Spanish caballero
Rejected by an Egyptian Pharaoh --
   Rosie had real good looks
   But the girl couldn't cook --
Hitched an old bird who ate like a sparrow...

There was a young lady named Rose,
who developed a run in her hose.
When her big toe stuck out;
she got zapped with the gout: 
Now what Rosie does best, 
is to limp all about....

inspired by Rosie
I take drunkenness of Barbara
to make lose one's heart Delphine
against the nostalgia of Ewa
the pure of expectations Hope
since the renaissance Lolita
for our love into the beyond...

I saw the huge beast from the dock.
The scene evoked bowel loosening shock.
Run and hide, Nessie!
It's about to get messy.
Rosie O'Donnell* is swimming in the Loch.

You never know if you're gonna get hit by a bus
Could happen on your happiest day, you end up as mush
There are no guarantees
You'll see next February
Just when things are rosie, your toilet gets flushed...

Rosie,
My little sister,
My toddler baby.
Nibbling, Munching,
On rubarb.
The other one sitting there,
Shivering.
I pick her up,
I read to her,
And tell her it will be okay.
My little sister,
My baby darling,
Patty O.
Xoxo
My sisters!...

hide and go seek
ring around the rosie
kick the can
and pin the tail you donkey
see if you can see
count 
you big bambino
diapers
egg's 
toilet paper
cruel
and unruly
measure
spirit's learning carpentry
on a tape
to the nearest millimeter...

Rosie was a special dog and she was sweet.
She was a Jack Russell and she was petite.
Rosie was my best friend's favorite pet.
But she's gone and it's something I regret.
She liked me and I liked her as well.
She was beautiful and as sweet as caramel....

i can see the heart bleeding
from old cuts
that never heal
the burdened blanket
that drums out
all that's good
the need to move forward
without the chains of the past
that dig at the heart
relentless

Ravishing Rosie Redbud raced red roadsters rapidly down the roadside.
Racing recklessly, Rosie Redbud rammed Roger Reynold's red ranger, 
resulting in ruined wrecks and a raving, ranting Roger.








Ravishing Rosie wreaked havoc with tongues.
For Gwen's Tongue Twister contest...

bathtubs have them
and some fingers
but not the gardening ones

around the rosie? sure I know it
But you will never find
one in  my nose

Do I look like a bull?
Hoops is another word
describing them 

But then you think of
rim shots 
embarrassing basketball players...

rosie r red
a girls name,who was wacked in the head
a.violets r blue
she was a girl too
they liked each other and didnt know what to do
because somebody used their line in a poetry rhyme
it gets hit all the time
they just dont know what to do
if you like me then i like you...

You won't be able 
to dance
    unless you've 
inherited the legacy 
    of Middle Earth
Sam and Rosie make 
a nice couple - 
   don't they
AS IT IS SAID
     the three faiths 
which follow Abraham
           must be studied 
carefully 
    if one is to acheive 
mastery...

Ring around the rosie
Ribbit Dribbit Drosie
They secret the mucus.
Hookus, Lookus, Doofus.

Three frogs at play
In my field today
Straight from the swamp
Eating flies with a whomp!

Ring around the rosie
Ribbit Dribbit Drosie
Good pets they might not be
Frog legs for my tea?...

In Farmer Joe’s Garden

There once was a rabbit named Rosie.
She liked to eat carrots and posies.
While in farmer Joe’s garden,
She startled the yardmen.
So, they fled like big chickens, those three!

A little old lady named Rosie,
Loved to plant things like veggies and posies.
Her garden a sight, the whole yard a delight,
And butterflies played ring round the Rosie.

Now rabbits got into her garden,
And ate everything to yard's end.
Out the back door she flew to round up the crew,
And proceeded to make rabbit stew....

Roses are red
Rosie is blue
Wondering where
Her boyfriend Fred
went to

He left in a hurry
In such a flurry
His mind a a blurry
Thinking of Rosie
Giving her posies

An afterthought 
Instead he thought 
two bouquets of
Red lovely red roses
for  valentine's Da\y

With a card added
Telling her of how
He feels about her now...

No longer my girlfriend,
Always my best friend,
She takes care of me,
She pays my bills,
Answers my mail,
Defends me as if I were one of her cubs,
She is a force to be dealt with,
When she takes off her gloves,
I return what I can,
like a car or a van,
I keep her on the road,
She's my soulmate, I know
Together in time we'll always go....
