It Could Be Verse – May 18, 2015

If you wake up at night and can’t sleep

No one else is making a peep

DON’T open the window and yell

“I can’t sleep in here – this is Hell!”

The price of frustration is steep.

Little Jack Horner sat in a corner?

I wonder if he’d been bad

If I’d have put my thumb in a pie

I know my mom’d been mad!

 

Back in August, I shared a takeoff on Little Miss Muffett*, and promised more Verses like this from a collection that will eventually be labeled  Father Goose’s Revenge, or something similar.  I’ve been SLOW to follow up!  There will be more to follow, hopefully before another 9 months passes!

Today’s Verse popped into my head – almost written!  – a few years back on the way to work after Pi Day.  I’ve altered the wording a little, and I’ll share it today not only to honor Pi Day this coming Saturday, but also to allow you to worry about me even more!  (Click link at end to read the entire Verse.)

Still cursed spacing problems I can’t seem to correct.  (Any WordPress experts out there?)

Ode to Pi Day

3-point-one-four-one-five-nine

That’s this haunting phrase of mine

It’s a ratio that’s divine

It Could Be Verse! – Feb 9, 2015

We’re not like rhinoceroses

Them are them and us are us’es.

 

Let’s form a club and keep them out

You can’t get in with such a snout.

 

And then we’ll label rhinos wrong . .

Discriminate before too long.

 

And what’s a rhino then to do?

End up in some lonely zoo?

 

Being different isn’t bad

And thinking so just makes me sad.
