Willy and Nilly were friends
Together, they said, til the end
Then along came Tilly
All pink nosed and frilly
Now they’re sharing a bole
With no population control
The three of them, all rather silly
Writing Prompt: Willy Nilly Day 7/30

He got me once
I missed him twice
The bump on my arm
Is not very nice
It’s ugly, you see
And it itches, like heck
This critter must die
Before he reaches my neck
He’ll suck out my blood
As if that’s not enough
He’ll come back for more
Till he’s sated and stuffed

Imagine how our life would be
If we all lived in a broccoli tree
On top of the stalk, our house would sit
Oh, can you just imagine it?!
Beautiful sunsets, out our backdoor
Who could ask for anything more!
Follow me, I’ll pave the way
For you to come, perhaps to stay
The light is always on, you’ll see
Just how happy you can be
Hurry now, no time to waste
But remember, you must never taste
For if you eat from the broccoli tree
The house will fall, and dead you’ll be

Come visit we, in our far off tree
We’ll show you around the place
Duck your head, watch where you tread
We haven’t very much space
It’s enough for us, we don’t like fuss
Now, don’t be shy or daunted
Just come inside, where we abide
We hope this tree’s not haunted!
Find a chair or two, that must fit you
Else sit upon the floor
Take off your shoes, and have a snooze
Be sure you shut the door

I sit with pen and paper
Thoughts are swirling in my head
Should I listen to my angel?
Or hear the devil’s words instead?
To choose the proper phrasing
I need to follow what’s in my heart
For my mind keeps playing tricks on me
And I knew right from the start
These two would cause a problem
When I saw them standing near
I wonder what there is to do
To make them disappear
Ignore them, if I can
And hope they leave quite soon
I need to write this letter
Before my honeymoon
Dear John, I guess I’ll start it
I no longer wish to marry
There are just too many of me
Over the threshold, for you, to carry
