Poetry Thursday

 

 Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at

 Two Spoiled Cats

You bought a new coat?

Put it on the porch

An anchor for the boat?

Put it on the porch

You need the note I wrote?

I put it on the porch

You need the oats for the goat?

Look on the porch

In our house the closet is full

We can’t open the door no matter how much we pull

We have books stacked up on the window sill

The cabinets are so full opening the door could kill

Timmy could’t find his ball

It was lost on the porch

Sally lost her favorite doll

Somewhere on the porch

Martha wanted to make a call

But someone left the phone on the porch

Grandpa couldn’t find his alcohol

It was stored somewhere on the porch

It was so full no one could shut the window 

Nothing to keep out the rain or snow

Nothing to stop when the wind does blow

Cold and wet was the status quo.  

Sissy said she was cold and needed a blanket warm

But it was on the porch

 Marty wanted an umbrella for the storm

But it was on the porch

Uncle Joe needed his drugs to perform

But could not find them on the porch

And no one had see Uncle Norm

Since he climbed out on the porch

Until one day the overstuffed porch fell

And the family belongings were scattered from heaven to hell

And now there is nothing left to tell

Because the family now had nothing but a hole in the wall where they did dwell,
