Poor Agnes was the laugh of her class
Twas a gaseous young thing, this poor lass
But she was quite a hoot
Every time she would toot
Sent you running from the room, en masse

Follow me, my dear friend
Said the butterfly to the cat
I can take you places
I know where it’s at
You can walk beside me
I’ll just lead the way
Hurry now, let’s move along
Before the close of day
I can’t fly, you silly thing
Said the cat to the butterfly
How on Earth can I follow?
If I fall, I’ll surely die
Perhaps you can carry me
Upon your mighty wings
We can go off, into the clouds
With the setting sun, and things
The butterfly pondered a moment
As the cat cocked a curious grin
Decided it was better to go it alone
Then be part of this kitty’s din din

I wonder if I will ever uncover
The secret behind WordPress’s Discover
It used to be Freshly Pressed, long ago
But that disappeared, to where? I don’t know
I checked it out once, then checked it again
I still didn’t see me, I’m wondering when
I’ll make it to the big time, a rising star
And change the license plate on my car
Yes! Everyone will know just who I am
Hubby, the kids and even Gram
So they can shout, she’s like no other!
You can finally find her on ‘Discover’!

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

Gather up the laundry
Sort it in a pile
Separate the darks and lights
Set the washer’s dial
Toss them in the dryer
Tumble them on low
Pull them out when they are done
Now where did one sock go?
I know it was there when I started
I wonder about its fate
Until I look up and to my surprise
I see who stole its mate
Yes, there he is up in a tree
All spread out on a limb
Lying on top of a pile of my socks
He keeps hidden under him
I wonder why he needs them
Do you think he cares?
I must admit, I’ve never seen
A dragon in underwear
