Today's words are:
Protest, Burden,Pattern, Reckless, Hopscotch, Camel
There were six other words but I chose these for today. I named my poem Grasping At Straws because that was what I was doing to come up with something. LOL
GRASPING AT STRAWS by Granny Annie
This town had never experienced
A takeover by such large vermin.
Their attempts to eradicate
Had created quite a burden.
It was an important issue
So they made a polite request
Hoping that would work
Better than a demanding protest.
The critters showed up in homes
As well as the local tavern.
They appeared in restaurants
No seeming rhyme or pattern.
One invader pranced around
In a woman's fancy necklace.
Some laughed at the antics
Making others feel restless.
Once it was even suggested
Someone use a stopwatch
To count the times these visitors
Were observed playing hopscotch.
Yes, a most unusual event...
This town's unique occasion.
Who would ever forget
The Historic Camel Invasion.
Ready for the sequel. You have such an exotic and funny mind.
ReplyDeleteYour mind is most definitely not of the ordinary.
ReplyDeleteLove it. It would take more than a pied piper to move camels on...
ReplyDeleteAnd camels came to your mind because---? You never fail to amaze and amuse me.
ReplyDeleteYou are SO GOOD at these! Thanks for being so much fun to read! I've been entertainment starved all week-
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! This is so much fun! Well done, Annie! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I was wondering abut the intruders, thinking aliens, then came your final paragraph.
ReplyDeleteCamels!
I laughed my head off :)
Was that town called Hamelin by any chance? :)

Best wishes,
Nilanjana.
I did not know that you are such a good poet.wow:-)
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Annie!
ReplyDeleteYou do a great job with these.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if I played a little hopscotch maybe I would loose a few pounds.
