The Alexander Bros were sipping moonshine on the deck,
They’d been sipping for a while and both were feeling rather wrecked,
It was their newest batch and had been left a little long,
And—let’s just face it—one word to describe it now was ‘strong’!
Well, as they sat and sipped a truck went past with rolls of sod,
And Archie spat across the rail and gave that truck a nod,
Said sadly to his brother, Lenny, “What I wouldn’t do…
To live life like rich people can when they can hire a crew!”
Then Lenny looked at him, said, “Archie, what you on about?
What is it ‘bout that truck that’s gotten you in such a pout?”
Said Archie, “I just want to get the things that I am owed…
When I win the lottery, I’ll send my
lawn out to git mowed!
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?
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?
Roses are red, or sometimes they're blue,
Come join us next week, we'll have roses for you!
Thinking of joining us for Poetry Monday?
We'd love to welcome you!
