SILLY POEMS
Oh no, she wails
My nails have snails
with slimy trails.
I asked for whales
upon my nails.
She hails her friend
and tells the tale.
This person failed
to make my nails
show beautiful scenes
of distant sails and
leaping whales.
B
The Bare Bear
Last week I saw a sight so rare,
I thought I must be dreaming.
A pitiful bear without his hair
sat on my back porch weeping.
"What's wrong, little bear?
What's brought you there,
to sit on my back porch weeping?"
The bear looked up, grief in his eyes
and began to sob once more.
"I've lost my hair, I've looked everywhere!
It's gone and I just can't find it."
I thought a while then I brought out a mop
that I'd bought the other day.
I trimmed it to size and glued it on
and patted him down and
raised his chin and wished him luck
and waved goodbye
as he toddled away, now whistling.
