Not All Tarts are Raspberry – #MayWriting – #poetry

Rosie loved to visit, the old woman, at the bakery shop

Down the road she’d scurry, sometimes she’d even hop

She wanted to be the first, to grab her favorite tart

One covered with whipped cream, and raspberries, in a heart

Every day, ole Gertie, would try to sell her another

But Rosie, would have none of it, this was for her mother

Perhaps a blueberry tart, or prune, how would that do?

Pineapple, or strawberry, or maybe something new?

How about blackberry, or maybe she’d like to try this?

No, she said, shaking her head, the raspberries, she’d insist!

Gertie understood, as Rosie eyed the confectionery

“All tarts may be yummy, but not all tarts are raspberry”

As a child I was always a rambunctious thing

But I’ve mellowed as I’ve aged, and I’m lucky

To be able to spend time, with verdant spring

Meanwhile, still continuing to be, ever so plucky

Green Eggs and Spam – #MayWriting – #poetry

I do not like green eggs and spam

Send them to Pebbles, and BamBam

They can eat them on a plate

Or share them both, with Mr. Slate

Or maybe Fred would rather eat

Green eggs and spam, oh, what a treat

But Barney, he’s a lot like me

He won’t touch them, no sir-ee

So, if you serve green eggs and spam

Don’t invite me, I’m sorry ma’am

I cannot stomach all that goo

Just think, there will be more, for you!

I do not like green eggs and spam

I much prefer raspberry jam

But that’s another poem, true

For ~M has labeled it twenty-two!
