There once was a snowman named Ray
Who dreamed of a tropical bay
He packed his sunscreen
And flew to the scene
But melted as soon as he lay
*I wrote this poem on January 19, 2024, as part of a ’30 days of poetry’ January challenge. This was day 19 and the prompt was: Can you write a funny limerick about a snowman who wants to go on holiday?
As a ginger I have
Hated, than loved freckles
Got sick of the teasing
Grew to love these speckles
Now I find them pleasing
As a ginger I have
Felt the wrath of the sun
Bright red self heating skin
Before summer begun
Sometimes you just can’t win
As a ginger I have
Been Red and Carrot top
Little orphan Annie
A raggedy Ann Mop
They say it’s uncanny
As a ginger I have
Grown to love these red locks
And all that comes with it
To think outside the box
And hoard sun screen a bit
Made in the Shade
Ruby Begonia sits in seaside shade
Reading a book and sipping lemonade
Slathers on sunscreen
Her freckles unseen
Miss Ruby won't join the "Nude Beach" parade.
I wrote
Alas
But never listen to the musings of myself
The World is not out get Me
I am
It's all in my Head
I tell myself as much So
But what do you know
If i could Give anyone
1 or the Greatest piece of Sage Advice
It would deffenitely be This
Forget Sunscreen
EMBRACE
POSITIVITY FULL ON
Attitude, Outlook, Perception
Is All of your own Making
Want to be Miserable
Be NEGATIVE
Want to Succeeded and be Happy
Be POSITIVE
Think only Happy Positive Thoughts
And I GUARANTEE
Nay PROMISE
Stake my Life on It
Tomorrow for you will be
ETERNALLY BETTER
Than what you have become
Accustomed Too
I pray God Willing
If 1 Single Soul
Tomorrow wakes
To a brighter day
With a light at the end of a Dark Tunnel
Then Someone Else through the grace of God
Has so 2 broken trough
And can then pass on 2 someone else
The way and how to get out
Until no 1 is left behind
But the Reaper and his Raven
What do you do when someone has soaked up all the rays of the sun?
All the love in your heart?
It has dried out like a tomato on a hot summers day would.
We spray the weeds with pesticide And mow the lawn just to look a bit neater
On a hot summers day
Even if you are not here;
You proceed to take my breath away
So much time has gone on,
I thought I would not be singing the same old sad song
But I was wrong;
As the day went on, and the sun sank lower
The moon was bright and looked much fuller
"Can I see it" the little girl asked
Can I see it!?
Can i see it!?
So much excitement for such a short amount of time
Sounds like what happens when you love the wrong guy;
My soul withers away in the dark
I am only filled now with sad remarks
One day, the sun will rise again and I will be cured
But until that day comes I will just remain there lying in the sun
I love my sunshine.
Summer sun rays feel so fine.
I get a nice tan
just from lying on the beach.
I need sunscreen within reach.
