Ode To Delores

Once more, Delores, of The Feathered Nest as issued her challenge.
Once more, I harness the old brain and shove it into overdrive . . .
This weeks Wednesday's Words?
Gregarious, munchkin, tipple, faint, carousing, bed pan
What am I gonna do with that . . .?
What else . . . a poem!

Delores, evil genius, you,
“Write,” you say. And write we do.
And from the words that you present,
We must weave something opulent.
But tell me how, with words I paint,
I’ll match gregarious with faint?
And Munchkin, I don't have a clue . . .
Do Munchkins tipple? Tell me. Do.
I’ve left carousing to the end,
For what to do with that, my friend?
I don’t carouse, and never will,
But nothing else will fit the bill.
I’m giving up, my brain is numb,
And feeling just a little dumb.
There is no way, it’s just too queer,
To fit a bed pan somewhere here.
And so I’ll stop, I’ve ‘uncle’ said.
My brain has gone from numb . . . to dead.

P.S. I love this! Keep them coming, my friend!
P.P.S. Drop over to Delores' blog and check out what the others came up with!

  1. I'll try not to be quite so evil next week. In the meantime I am humbled beyond measure to have a poem written in my honour.

  2. HaHaHa. I congratulate all of you around the globe who chew those words up and spit 'em out.

  3. Ooooo ... nice approach, explaining why you can't use the words, and - in the process - using the words! ... I like it!

  4. Your brain may be numb, but it still turned out a good poem.

  5. That was fun! I guess I'm glad Delores has an evil streak! :) Way to turn lemons into lemonade!
