Just Being Silly

Home is.....
Where your __ss is sat
The coat hung in the rack
Where you hook up your hat.

The rude nude...
When naked truth 
Looks you in the eye
From truth you can't shy
That's  life's way of saying
Your sanity I certify.

When hunger becomes mean....
My toaster burnt to a char
To me, looked like coal tar
Microwave waved a finger
Asking if I wanted dinner
So I gassed my foot in the car
Hunger gave me that much power.
(This happened on the way to the diner)

Labour room mayhem....
The gynaecologist swooned
When Mary had a little lamb
The doctor needed dopamine
Seeing the four legged bloodline.

Ba ba bopeep...
When ba ba black sheep 
Hit a favourite note
The flutist began to weep
The sheep had gotten his goat
That became an irritation in the throat.

Mirror, mirror on the wall.......
With my broken smile
I looked in the  mirror
I saw myself clearer
The mirror became dearer.

When sheet happens......
When shit happens
Puts me in a lot of jeopardy
I turn chaos to poetry
I make the breast of it
When shit happens
I don't let it throw me 
Off balance.

Floored homeless....
My bed threw me out
Burning the midnight oil
I burned the 
House down
I am floored.

  2. I love this playful composition incorporating well known lines from nursery rhymes, but then taking us on a fun and frivolous journey. IT is good not to take ourselves to seriously. Well done, my dear Yassy!

    1. You are right , Brad. Life is damn too short and I am happy that I am able to share my poetry with people who are wonderful poets like you .. phew that sure is a blessing in my opinion.
      Can’t thank you enough 😊

  3. I totally LOVE this: “Mirror, mirror on the wall…….
    With my broken smile
    I looked in the mirror
    I saw myself clearer
    The mirror became dearer.”
