Nature’s Rhyme

Ever had one of those days when the sun is high up in the sky and the second hand of the clock seems to think slower than ever? Well it was on one such days that I thought I’d pass the time with some funny writing. Enjoy. 

Roses, violets, thistles in my palm,
Peaceful ocean waves all so calm.
Tulips, lilies, orchids in my sight,
Beautiful blue skies morning and night.
Hollies, daisies, carnations in my stride,
Gentle little lovelies to up my pride.
Rushes, ferns, green here and there,
Warm noon sunlight glittering in my hair.

Apples, grapes, peaches in my mouth,
Baskets full of them all going south.
Melons, pears, cherries on the rack,
One more bite and I’m gonna crack.
Bananas, oranges, plums for the plump,
Perfect side dishes to ease the slump.
Lemons, figs, mangoes for my amigos,
Ronaldo, Rooney, none of them Latinos.

Cats, bats, rats at my heels,
Hairy, furry, mammals dancing on wheels.
Dogs, crocs, whoever’s the boss,
There’s still no beating Nina or Ross.
Roaches, geckos, creepy crawling weirdoes,
Find me a stick and bust the minnows.
Falcons, vultures, birds of prey,
Coming in colours of black and grey.

Hip-hop, R&B, not much R&D,
Out of tune music playing concurrently.
Hip-life, Highlife, CDs in the shop,
Dead and gone generations telling us to stop.
Country, Gospel, music so simple,
Leaves you maudlin and smiling with a dimple.
Classic, Jazz, Pop and Blues,
Grab a chair and enjoy the reviews.
