Bus-ted

Now, normally, I’m a quiet guy,
Not outspoken, little shy,
But even I, my limit has,
Blew my lid—and all that jazz,
But let me tell you what I know,
About this sorry tale of woe…
This guy came from the pizza place,
Had a pizza, he embraced
The two guys standing near him there
‘Twas obvious for them, he cared,
And he stopped to talk a while,
The three of them exchanged a smile,
And then he said, “I have to go,
This pie won’t eat itself, you know,
Can’t wait for that first, cheesy bite,
With pineapple to make it right,”
And then he stepped into the street,
A bus just knocked him off his feet!
Some bystanders pulled him away,
(Please know that he will be okay,)
But when things calmed from all the fuss,
Now they won't let me drive a bus! 

Cause Mondays do get knocked a lot,
With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So KarenCharlotteMimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?

Next week my favourite you will see,
Cause cookies are the theme for me!

Thinking of joining us for Poetry Monday?
We'd love to welcome you!

  3. I'm happy the Pizza Lover man was OK but perhaps this was the universe telling him pineapple on pizza is not a thing. (Funny how passionate people can be about pineapple on pizza, or not).

  4. Pineapples and pizzas really is a contended issue. But to be run over by a bus is too harsh a punishment ;)

  5. Hawaiian pizza with pineapple is actually quite good, from what i remember back when i used to be able to eat meat.

    Loved the ending of your poem!
