Sea Snacks

Two heads popped up above the surf,

Two monsters of the sea, they were,

They recently had left their cave,

Were sailing west above the waves,

And looking for someone to scare,

Plus, maybe find some tasty fare.

A string of ships were sailing by,

A gleam sparked in one monster's eye,

And moving closer, took a sniff,

Then gobbled that ship in a jiff!

The second and the third one, too,

He did what monster's always do

And one by one, he ate them all...

His buddy'd watched this all befall,

Then tapped his friend upon his neck,

And loudly asked him, "What the heck?!

Potatoes are what those ships hold!

There's better stuff--or so I'm told."

His friend just raised his monster brow,

Said, "I don't mean to cause a row,

I know there's much more tasty fare,

In lots of ships tween here and there,

Potatoes Ships are snack-y fun,

And none of us can eat just one!

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'll be an exciting one,

At the ‘Beauty Parlor’ we'll have fun!

Thinking of joining us for Poetry Monday?

We'd love to welcome you!

Topics for the next few weeks
