Two Clerihews by The Man With the Blue Guitar
President Barack Obama . . .
Bet you thought I would rhyme with yo mama,
But there's also hosanna and flora or fauna,
There are more rhymes with Romney — don't wanna.
Governor Willard "Mitt" Romney
Would give all of us imsomni—
If Mitt became President or even just veep,
None of us would ever get any sleep.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS
by The Booth of Our Conniving
I don't know where I'm going with this
Umbrella I'm holding to keep the rain
From making an ass out of you and me,
But I have a vague feeling feelings
Will be involved, special ones for the dark
Side of a doughnut or the sigh of a wren.
It's so unlike me, though, to venture far
Without securing first a slew of notes
From emotive conductors I've had
The pleasure of being deafened by.
Perhaps it's time for me to enlist
In the army of delicate wackos who
Seem so full of themselves and life
And who constitute the human race.
Hear them singing their sweetness to
The disconsolate cumulonimbi?
I want that job and to find myself
Finishing the touches I started with you.
Dig and write, you may be amazed at how creative you are, by simply trying without worrying about the outcome or feedback…best, hope to see you in the party, chicks…

welcome to Poetry Picnic Week 35,
Best Wishes for your Mother's Day Agenda.
I posted early because it's a special day for Moms...
This is more of a story than a poem but I have a poem swirling around to share later. :-)
Happy Mother's Day...
Cheers.
Have a great mother's day, folks.

Thanks so much as always for hosting this. Here's my Overpriced Limerick.
Have a great Mothers day everyone. I don't have anything on this topic. But I hope you can enjoy what I linked anyway.
