Roosevelt

She is a queen, I’m tellin’ you
For everything she grows
Is very, very tasty
And it smells just like a rose

My name is Roosevelt, my friend
But you can call me “Rose”
Cause roses is where I hang out
As seasons comes and goes

But she’s a queen, I’m tellin’ you
She only grows the best
And I crawl between the petals
That’s my soft and snuggly nest

I’m a rockin‘, rollin’ beetle
Entertainin’ is my game
But you can call me “Rose”, my friend
Or any other name

Anyway, she grows these roses
That are red and pink and yellow
I know she’s seen me, but she thinks
I’m just a real cool fellow

In fact she likes my rap routine
I do it every day
And then I grab a petal
And I simply chomp away

“YO, man, I’m the MAN
You can call me Al
OR Stan, ………but listen Pal
if you CAN, you can call me Rose-e-
VELT!…… OR Rose
cause you KNOWS
I’m the MAN.”

That’s just a little beetle rap
I’m really pretty cool
That’s how I do my rappin’ thing
And Mamma raised no fool

She said , “Roosevelt, you’re a fool
You’r ’sposed to eat and fly
You don’t go rappin’ on the petals
That’s the way you’re gonna die

You think that you’re a “Beatle”
But you’re nothin' but a bug!”
Well I sure showed my Mamma
I’m no slime ball of a slug

I’m a rappin‘, rollin’ beetle
And the lady thinks I’m sweet
Cause she sees me on her roses
Where I entertain and eat

And she’s a queen, I’m tellin’ you
She loves her Roosevelt
I never knew that people
So much love for beetles felt

YO, man! I’m the MAN
I’m the ACE my mamma dealt
I’m a Beatle of a beetle
You can call me

Rose

A

VELT

OR pal, you can call me AL
I’m a rappin’ kind of “Beatle“
I am Rose-A-
VELT, I’m the MAN!
Any one can TELL……..


Hey, what’s that funny smell , OH NO!
The lady’s smarter than I thunk!
It’s that darn old rose and flower spray
And HERE IT COMES!

This is different! And delightfully so.  You've really captured a cadence and have a fine, fine poem.  Kids especially would enjoy this!

Thanks for sharing and by all means, try something like this again!

Liz,
It's you and me babe! Somebody has to be responsible. And it seems you are well qualified. Maybe we'll have to write a humorous duet. Hmmmm.

Hey Rose A Velt, run for the tree!

And you call me funny?  Oh Liz, you are too much sometimes, this was priceless!  And I agree, whatever you are mixing there, I will have a double please
