No Hobbledehoy
(word of the day)

Compared to the normal hobbledehoy
He is a most uncommon boy,
With knowledge and wit beyond his years
And manners far above his peers.

His mama loves him, one can tell
Because she's done her job so well.
The lass he loves, whomever she be
Won't know how much she owes to me.

I took this little piece of clay
And stroked and hugged it every day.
I worried as only a mother can;
Turn over to her, this perfect man.

Joyce~
Grinning at you I am !
I glanced at this word this morning and said to myself,
"Self, maybe someone else will grab this one and run with it."
You did !!!

Wonderful job sweet poetess~

I've got a couple up in Open ... but on the whole just taking a little breather from the computer due to REAL LIFE happenings~

I'll get back into the swing 'soon'~

wow!!  I was just about to post a piece on a similar theme. perhaps I should forget it. I may not be able to match this gem...

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
