Poetry Thursday

 

My friends, the two spoiled cats, sent me the following photo for poetry Thursday

Doctor Bob had won a big prize

That would make his reputation rise

But the money he would get was what was best in his eyes

He planned to buy surround sound at one of the local Best Buys

2

It was the day of the ceremony

And his wife needed money

She left with it to be a dress, and said “thanks honey.”

While Dr Bob stayed home with daughter Toni.

3

After playing for an hour Dr Bob realized he was tired

And he tried to convince Toni to take a nap  but she was wired

And he wondered how such a wild child he sired

He tried to stay awake but sleep was required

4

Toni had nothing to play with except crayons and paint

She had colored the whole house as she looked from something she ain’t.

Then saw her days pristine face 

And she put on crayons, and paint, giving him more covering than a high school girl on her first date

5

When his wife came home Dr Bob was shocked awake

He noticed the clock and was going to be late

Husband and wife got ready without glancing at the other, the way it is with a long term mate

And when wife took much too long to get ready Dr Bob grew irate

6

Dr Bob got in the car in the dark

Then the wife came out full of snark

And she couldn’t see his face as he put the car out of park

And she did not acknowledge him being a proper matriarch

7

When they arrived at the hotel with a knife you could cut the tension

As they walked the red carpet people booed and gave scorn when they got their attention

Then the chairman approached them, his face red with reprehension 

And asked how he could wear such face paint when speaking at a plastic surgeon convention.
