POEMAS

A BUSY DAY

Pop in
pop out
pop over the road
pop out for a walk
pop down to the shop
can’t stop
got to pop
got to pop?
pop where?
pop what?
well
I’ve got to
pop round
pop up
pop in to town
pop out and see
pop in for tea
pop down to the shop
can’t stop
got to pop
got to pop?
pop where?
pop what?
well
I’ve got to
pop in
pop out
pop over the road
pop out for a walk
pop in for a talk…

DO YOU CARROT

ALL FOR ME?

Do you carrot all for me?
My heart beets for you,
With your turnip nose
And your radish face,
You are a peach.
If we cantaloupe,
Lettuce marry;
Weed make a swell pear.

EIGHT BALLOONS

Eight balloons no one was buyin’
All broke loose one afternoon.
Eight balloons with strings a-flyin’,
Free to do what they wanted to.
One flew up to touch the sun – POP!
One thought highways might be fun – POP!
One took a nap in a cactus pile – POP!
One stayed to play with a careless child – POP!
One tried to taste some bacon fryin’ – POP!
One fell in love with a porcupine – POP!
One looked close in a crocodile’s mouth – POP!
One sat around ’til his air ran out – WHOOSH!
Eight balloons no one was buyin’ –
They broke loose and away they flew,
Free to float and free to fly
And free to pop where they wanted to.

A, APPLE-PIE

A was an apple-pie;
B bit it,
C cut it,
D dealt it,
E eat it,
F fought for it,
G got it,
H had it,
I inspected it,
J jumped for it,
K kept it,
L longed for it,
M mourned for it,
N nodded at it,
O opened it,
P peeped in it,
Q quartered it,
R ran for it,
S stole it,
T took it,
U upset it,
V viewed it,
W wanted it,
X, Y, Z, and ampersand (&)
All wished for a piece in the hand.
