| "Unimpressed: Three-year-old Grace van Cutsem fails to join in the excitement" |
~
Exorcist child
Unfortunate soul
She even got called a
Monstrous troll
Two bits of peace
And a slice of quiet
You wanted silence
Nor could you buy it
Imagine the irony-
Grace turns deaf
Or better still
Joins the RAF
As for the ears
Mum must be red
Daddy nerves shattered
Family ego bled
Not your fault
Poor little foal
Good lord skipped
Even the Crawford mole
Other midget angels
Can't help your cause
They looked pretty
You needed gauze
Butt of jokes
No looking back
Doomed to punchlines
Waiting to be cracked
If I were Grace
I'd cry till dawn
Wake up in May
Get my head shorn
To you, lil girl
Even if you're shaven
I say, be brave
The opposite
Of craven
One other thing-
Work on your smile
Rear the bucktooth often
So complainants
Won't file
If they file anyway,
Throw 'em off guard:
I'm a living Lucy,
What's your trump card?

Hahahaha. Nicely :-)
Poor brat is branded grumpy for life.
Haha! Nicely put! :)
That is adorable. You write for a living right! :-)
It is posts like these that make it obvious that there is both clever turns of phrase and "format creativity" (?) within you.
write a book already.
ha ha. i think i came across some older posts about a book a couple of days back ( yes, we have been reading your blog back to back:)). that on? would love to read a book by you.
Sucheta: Heh, thankley. I see you and I are united in this dabbling in nonsense rhyme, huhh. I like your-
They got together and ganged up
to teach Paul a lesson.
They called him lanky and absurd,
They fought back with aggression
ha ha!
Mystic: Shukriya:)
Utopia: I do, I used to, I'll get back to (iss a promise to self:)
Anon: Format creativity? Never been accused of that but I'll take it. =) Write a book already: it's there somewhere-horizon-eventual-vagueness. I'm not done twiddling my thumbzies just yet.
S.A: You're an unusual commenter! I had my spam radar turned up so high I took every sweet thing you said with a pinch o salt but hello, you're very kind. I'm very flattered. Don't go away:)
Nice!
