Apt-lee Named

The Family Lee, they have such fun
Finding names for everyone
Cause they are quite a clever crew,
Their names reflect the things they do…
 
There’s one who’s solemn as a stone
And Serious Lee, is how he’s known
And one who calls meat: carrion,
Broco Lee: vegetarian,
The one who always shows up late
Is Sudden Lee. You’ll have to wait,
Figures of Speech he just can’t see,
The cousin who’s named Literal Lee,
The one who is always throwing shade,
Sarcastic Lee, watch his tirades!
Definite Lee’s from shyness cured,
He’s the Lee who’s self-assured,
The one you always can foresee,
What else would he be? Usual Lee!
Then Happy Lee. He is so nice,
He gets you smiling in a trice!
There is the cousin in disgrace,
Called Shameful Lee right to his face!
Then, the last cousin, Exact Lee,
He likes all things done perfectly!

I had such fun with these good folk,
They certainly can take a joke!
And I will bless with grand espirit
The day I met the Fama Lee!

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?

Broiled or baked or fried or canned?
Avocados next week, we have planned!

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