A Merry Day

A merry day the sun does shine
It sipped the dew right off the vine
It started shadows dance of shade
And there she sits a milking maid

Now tell me friend if you were I
Would you stay and only sigh
Or would you say good morning maid
Can you see the dancing shade?

Would you care to dance with me?
The grass is green the air like tea.
We’ll dance upon a rainbows run
I’ll help you get the milking done

She looked at me and squirts a stream
That wet the merry of the seem
But wiped my face and kissed my brow
And said I will but just not now.

Is that not so, the common case
It’s not the time it’s not the place.

WEll, if Randy doesn't mind, I'd dance with you!!!  Hey, what say we all dance together, right off into a rainbow sky...
This one was ambrosia flavored with a hint of spice....

Well, you may not have gotten the maid to dance,
but you certainly got the sun to shine!

Good morning, Sy!  What a beautiful way to start this Wednesday!  Wheee!

What a wonderful upbeat way to start the day!
Now if your dance card isn't too full..
may I have the next one Sy?
~Morning hugs, dances, and tea, Nancy~

Now while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again.

And there she sits a milking maid

==================================

YEP-- the WHOLE poem...cuz their aint no way I can pick a fave, each and every word, line and rhyme of this belong together!

Sy--do you know what a doll you are?
This poem is absolutely DELIGHTFUL!!!

What a treat to read aloud...
ya got the cows, chickens and pigs doing a morning jig...( and the moths) LOL

and then there is that oh so clever closing couplet...


Is that not so, the common case
It’s not the time it’s not the place.


you're just too cool....
Rock and Roll poetry...you and Randy.

ya get extra winkies for this one. LOL



Poetry is emotion put into measure.
The emotion comes by nature ...
but the measure is acquired by art.

JM,
You lift my spiris to the sky
And there I lie and there I sigh
Just dance a dance with Randy guy
And He will fly and change my sigh
