These Socks

sitting on these socks

full of sweat and grime

out of all these socks

none of them are mine

 

these socks they have been rinsed

not just once, but twice

let’s throw them in the washer

and then they will smell nice

Tub Talk

I'm on the tub

perched atop

a lot of socks

stinky, smelly

'neath my belly

 

 

The Normans

We are the Normans,

three bears loved by three boys

all our names are Norman,

and though we are just toys

 

the love we give is precious

a love that can't be found

in dump-trucks or that leggo

they leave on the ground

 

so squeeze us, scrunch, and crush us

throw us down the stairs

pick us up and drag us

to a comfy chair

 

hold us while you're crying

hold us when you're scared

cuddle us at sleep time

your Norman's always there!

 

Thoughts...

I'm sleeping in the dishrack

right beside the sink

it's cozy and real private

it gives me time to think

 and when they wash the dishes
I will run away
to sleep inside the sock drawer
until I want to play

 

my name is squeeks they tell me
a special kind of cat
not the cutest, not too smart
but I don't care about that!

 

Dead Duck

Dead duck, lost duck

dropped from baby's hand

lying on the sidewalk

full of dirt and sand

 

No one's coming back for you

no one to take you home

in rain and snow you'll rot away

dying all alone!

Stumpy Proud

Stumpy proud

Stumpy strong

without feet

you hop along

 

other birds

your friends not

mock the feet

that you ain't got!

The Shelter of My Un-Doing

safe and dry... for how long?

Caught in a terrible thunder storm,

I took shelter in the first paper bag I found.

Brilliant! However...

Paper can only withstand rain for a short time and then it wilts!

 

Moral of the story- Don't take shelter in a paperbag during a big storm.
