Thankful Thursday
This week I am participating in Brian’s Thankful Thursday to say a very grateful Thank You to our friend June and the rest of the pack at the Zoolatry Blog for featuring me yesterday in their First Friends post-Wednesday. It has indeed been one of the greatest honors in my young life. Thank you.
HAPPY POETRY THURSDAY
HERE IS THE PHOTO THE BRILLIANT ANGEL SAMMY AND TEDDY GAVE US FOR INSPIRATION
Through the clouds and the rain, I saw quite a sight
That, when it became clear, caused me a fright
Three big ladies splashing in puddles
Holding on to umbrellas with white knuckles
Wearing too-small stilettos
Squishing their fat little toes
The one on the left carried a bag so small
It looked like it belonged to a fashionable Barbie doll
The one in the center had a large purse
All the better to steal medication for an inattentive nurse
The one on the right held her umbrella high and to the side
Not understanding why she was getting soaked like a shell in the tide
When they came close I realized what was strange
It wasn’t them splashing around at an advanced age
It wasn’t what they had on
Matching $10.00 dresses from Amazon
It wasn’t that they were out in the rain
An activity that seemed insane
It was because, and I say this with dread
Not a single one of them had a head.
I saw you over there yesterday. Make me smile.
ReplyDeleteLove the poem. You're right there are no heads. Hadn't noticed this until you mentioned it.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. ♥
Ruby Rose you are a natural with poetry. Well done little friend
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your post at June's too

Your poem made us laugh and you're right - not one of them has a head!
