The Town of Poets: Welcome to the Show |

A gathering from far and wide Of poets here and there. Scattered on the bench and side At the poet fair. The crowd begins to mummer loud Their voice begins to stir And as the "head" of poets vowed He wore his suit of fur. He said aloud through megaphone "WELCOME TO THE FAIR!" And as applause began to groan The sound blew off his hair! Retrieving it in maddened rush He blushed and shied away And combing back his hair by brush He hoped his hair would stay. Besides the hair, the show was great And ran quite well indeed. The poets sang, they read, they ate And relieved their "wordy" need. The sound of pencils clanking yelled "OUR ERASER TIPS ARE GONE!" The pens began to cramp the hand And mouths began to yawn. Papers flew around the tent Floating up and down And voices of the poets went Loudly through the town. Soon the town awoke quite sore At the racket from the fair They marched right up to shout, "YOU BORE THE LIVING BREATHING AIR!" But as they came towards the show They heard a lovely sound: The sound of voices laughing low At poems read around. They went back home and fell asleep The poets stayed to write And all around, the town was still As poems echoed through the night... ===== I got bored. ^____^ Welcome to the town of poets everybody!!! ++ Leah ++ Fear me! ^___^ Va pensiero sull' ali dorate... |
