Poetry Thursday

   

Once again Angel Sammys and and Teddys Pawetatonc have challenged us to write a poem about the picture below.  Please to enjoy


 Jimmy Meerkat got out of school early and was anxious to join his pack

But when he got home Jimmy saw a jackal named Jack

Going at it with his mother in the sack

And was taken aback 


Jimmy immediately said he had to tell his dad

But his mother said that would make her mad

And makw his dad sad

And Jack said “you are married? Egad”.

 

Jimmy had been raised to tell the truth

And be the perfect youth

But he didn’t want to be a blabbermouth

And rip apart his family like the Lincolns and John Wilkes Booth


 The weight of the truth brought Jimmy down

And his dad wanted to know why the frown

And Jimmy decided to stop fooling around

You tell his father his mom was the new queen of  Ho town.


Before Jimmy could speak, his mother entered the room. 

She asked him to come outside and her face was red as she did fume.

When away from his father, she told him. “I carried you in my womb..

And I will sweep you out of here like dust from  my broom.”


Back with his dad he heard him ask what was for dinner and was told bug cake. 

Timmy had an epiphany that hit him like an earthquake

.He looked at his mother with an expression like a sly rake 

and said, I think from now on, we should all eat steak


Jimmy grew up that day as he saw his mom's face crack. 

He had gained the upper hand, and they were never going back.

 Soon he had steak for dinner, a car, a TV anda stereo system to play his new Euphoria soundtrack.

And from that day forward, his mother did not get jack.
