Dallying with the Dailies

Dad loves to read the local news,

He does it every day,

He likes to know what’s happening

And in the ‘news’ loop, stay.

Our cops have had it tough this week,

‘s the news from ‘Up the Hill’,

On Monday, someone stole their ‘loos’,

They’ve nothing to go on, still.

On Wednesday a sinkhole opened, down

Route Two a little bit,

Don’t think they’re doing nothing, cause

They’re looking into it.

Then Friday almost took the cake,

Their cruiser tires, you see,

Were stolen each and every one,

They’re working tirelessly!

Today when Daddy finished up,

He set the paper down,

Then minutes later, looked for it.

Was running all around.

He asked my sister if she’d seen,

She looked at him askance,

Then handed him her iPad…

That fly didn’t have a chance!

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?

You'll love the topic next week. True,

'Remembering'. (It's what we do!)

Thinking of joining us for Poetry Monday?

We'd love to welcome you!

Topics for the next few weeks
