Buzz'd

 My kids' favourite 'Buzzard' joke...

The thrilling circus passed this way,

Folks of the desert came to play,

Poor Bobby Clown, so old and grey,

He’d gone out drinking. Went astray,

Could not find his way back. Dismay!

He did not live to see the day.

 

And somewhere on the sand, he lay,

Until along about midday,

Some buzzards passing by the way,

Decided: here, they all would stay,

No one alive to tell them ‘nay’,

And good ol’ Bob would be their prey.

 

The poor old clown had some decay,

And also just the right bouquet,

Knowing nothing’d come their way,

That’s better than a ‘Bob souffle’,

The buzzards’d better not delay,

They started and they ate away.

 

But one of them, we’ll call him Jay,

Turned up his nose and moved away,

The others watched him with dismay,

Each were wond’dring, “What the hey?”

They stopped and asked him why he strayed…

“Cause it tastes funny,” Jay did say! 

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 Karen, Charlotte, Mimi, 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, we'll celebrate our way,

A little topic called 'Earth Day'!

Thinking of joining us for Poetry Monday?

We'd love to welcome you!

Topics for the next few weeks
