Barry is my special friend, we
talk most every day,
He’s wise and fun (a perfect
combination, by the way).
But once, there was a time when it
was my turn to annoy.
So stick around a sec, ‘cause it’s
a tale you will enjoy.
Now, Barry likes his food, you
just might call him, well, a snob,
He so enjoys a well-cooked meal,
from pasta to kebabs.
But one day, he confided, ‘Only
onions make me cry,’
And so I thought I’d try it out,
and learn the truth, thereby.
My wife and I had planned a
summer picnic with our friends,
(You know these are the best of
times. You hope they never end.)
Our watermelon patch had borne a
very yummy yield,
So, for dessert, we grabbed some
big ones from out in the field.
Then…
To test his ‘only onions make
him cry’, s‘indeed the case…
I took a watermelon and hit
Barry in the face!

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?
