I’ll never understand it
Why men think it’s profound

To stuff their mouths with tobacco
Then spit it out, onto the ground

They chew away on a substance
Tucked neatly in their cheek

I don’t think I could kiss them
Their chances, are rather bleak

Why can’t they find a habit
That the ladies like as well

Like chewing bubble gum instead
I’d find that rather swell

So guys, please forget the chew
It’s so uncouth, and unrefined

Replace it with something minty
This, we’ll surely never mind

Mom sent me on an egg hunt
She said look for pretty colors

But all I really wanted was
My favorite breakfast crullers

She shooed me out the door
Told me to have some fun

Bring back lots of goodies
Enough for everyone

When I got back from the meadow
Mom said, Goodness! What a mess!

What happened, what did you do?
To your brand new Easter dress?

I tried explaining carefully, how
My basket became overloaded!

And when I tried to empty it
All the eggs inside exploded!

Mom looked at me rather strangely
Then a smile came to her face

Laughing she said, it looked much better
Then it did, in the dressmaker’s place

This poem, I sigh, is the last one
For M‘s crazy month of prompts

She had us going everywhere
With verses, quite the romp!

We wrote of purple nurples
And pink poodles, those crazy pups

Myrtle just kept moaning, poor gal
With Guzzling Gary, we couldn’t keep up

I could just go on and on
In fact, I’m pretty sure I did

Time to wrap this poetry
On top, I’ve put the lid

It all amounted to simply this
Fizzy Whizzys and Galloping Gadzooks

Now, it’s time to end this poetic March
Think I’ll down some Jamba Juice!

 

March Writing Prompt:  Jamba Juice – Day 31/31 – Another month in the books! April’s prompts are awesome. Can’t wait to see what everyone writes! 🙂

He was betrayed

By those he loved

Left alone, to fend

Against the human

Demons who sought

After him, betrayed

By ones he thought

He could lay his trust

Isn’t it funny though

How we still carry on

This way, afraid to do

What’s right, until

It all goes wrong

And then we beg

His forgiveness…

Mr. Bunny hops, here and there

Hurry scurry, with nary a care

He has to gather colored eggs

For little Johnny, Mike and Peg

Baskets filled with grasses, green

And every color in between

Chocolates that seem never melt

Marshmallow peeps, expand your belt

Jelly beans, to send the sugar rush higher

He’s racing around, to fill your desires

When everything’s ready, he’ll be headed your way

Please leave a carrot for him, this Easter Sunday
