Flowers bloom in springtime air For all to smell and sneeze Yet all attend the poet fair The day is one to sieze! With pencils sharp, erasers pink Unused from writer's block Their bottoms on the benches sink From winter's large food stock. The man with one bad wig yearound Stood upon the stage With his belly, laughing loud He turned his title page. "Welcome to the Poet Fair!" He cried with morning breath. And all who sat in front of him Felt poetic death. "Today, we write, and rhyme, and sing To each and every poet And to all, we hope to make you each Into a Farley Mowatt!" Confused, the poets asked each other Who Farley Mowatt was But not to Bad Wig Main-Thing Man Fearing what his breath will cause. "TODAY, YOU ALL WILL WRITE A POEM DEPICTING MASTERPIECES ORIGINALITY HERE, IS KEY," he screamed As oxygen decreases... And so, in stinky morning air The poets wrote away And night drew on, and write at 9 They heard the Wig Man say... "PENCILS DOWN, MY STINKY FRIENDS I HAVE A GIFT FOR YOU COTTON BALLS TO SOAK UP SWEAT AND BEESWAX CANDLES TOO!" And with that, the poets stuck The cotton up their noses And in their ears, the candles went To block out all the noises. Happiness possessed the folk Until the night turned dawn And sleepy eyes could not surpress A loud, obnoxious yawn. They left their posts until the summer Humming like those bugs Hoping, one day, that Big-Wig man Will get a better rug. + + + + +  OHHHH MAN...it's been a long time since I wrote one of these. BTW, this is the third installment, which I wasn't going to write. But I have! MUAHAHA! But my meter isn't very good in some parts, but hey, I DON'T CARE!!! YAY! ^_^Okie. Enjoy. ^_^ Lee-ah-bee-ah>('=')<[buzzbuzz] |

Hey...this was cute! Although I can sorta tell you've been poetically hibernating---I can't cricize you...because I'm in the same state! Good job, SweetPea! ~ Alex-Lee Others are too in love with the sound of their own voice to speak the truth... |
