Horray for yet another poorly designed, yet brilliant(haha)page from me! Here I would like to show you a most wonderous collection of poemetry that I've read/written through the years
That having been said, on with the show!
Good Dog Nigel
Arf, Arf, he goes, a merry sight,
Our little hairy friend,
Arf, Arf, upon the lampost bright
Arfing round the bend.
Nice dog! Goo boy,
Waggie tail and beg,
Clever Nigel, jump for joy
Because we're putting you to sleep at three of the clock, Nigel
~J. Lennon
*this is one of my most favorite poems :)
From the Old Country
There once was a tiny, itsy, bitsy goat.
He went in the water, but he could not float.
He died.
Walking-Stick Bird
The walking stick Bird, of which few have heard,
Does nothing under the sun but walk.
It cannot sing, it cannot talk,
It seldom eats, it never flies.
It walks and walks and walks and walks;
It walks on roads and on sidewalks,
It walks by bushes, stems and stalks,
It walks down railroads, past road signs
Past blinking lights and yellow lines,
Past supermarkets, skating rinks,
Bowling alleys, and golf links,
It walks past ladies with mink stoles,
Past barbershops with bright pink poles,
And miners working in sinkholes;
It walks down lanes, through fields of clover,
Under underpasses, over
Bridges, in and out of doors
Round and round and round dance floors;
It walks through woods, it walks by streams,
and never stops and never dreams,
of sitting down to take the air;
It walks along a thoroughfare
That joins another one somewhere;
It walks for weeks and weeks and weeks
through hot white deserts, up white peaks,
It walks past men with tattooed cheeks
And blood-red birds with soup-plate beaks;
It walks on far beyond Land's End,
Where sand and sky and water blend;
It walks past oceans yet uncharted
And when it gets back where it started,
It looks around, it blinks it's eyes,
Then as if taken by surprise,
Screams Bloody Murder, crumples up, and dies.
FIN
