Double lock the gate!

Poetic Dan

I've got an alligator and it's eaten all my shoes

 

Then I added a little mouse, it kept on running loose 

 

I tried to get some Penguins but one freezer isn't enough 

 

There was a lion in the bushes, until the monkeys had a laugh 

 

Now I'm sitting looking out, on top of my giraffe

 

The chipmunks are already losing, on my video game 

 

While the cat's & dog's are partying, many more on the way

 

If only I had listened, to the elephant that's painting everyday

 

Who said to me we should always, double lock the gate 

 

These are a few of my friends, home and here to stay

  • dusk arising

    All the cats in the grass
    will stand up and smile
    at the very first cry
    from your newly born child

    all those neighborhood dogs
    will woof with delight
    when youre pushing a pram
    and stop you on sight

    the birds up above
    have a cunning wee plan
    to sing every morning
    for the children of Dan

    the bees in the flowers
    gonna buzz out a rap
    for that lil girl blossom
    or that lil boy chap

    Dontcha just love kiddies rhymes.
    Yours is a superb nonsense piece today.

      Buddy that was so delightfully done, I really laughed out loud with the song for the children of Dan (I could hear the pipes piping) your wit of returns never fail to bring me what I need.... Legion!

      There was a poem I made up with my grandson, I can't remember it all:

      There was a monkey swinging in the window
      And the window was open
      The monkey went flying through the window
      But his tail got caught in the jam

      Kiddies rhymes are quirky but it's the laugh that follows which is fun. Have a lot of funny moments

        Brilliant, yes they most definitely are.
        Now I get it, you are a wise grandpa

        Always appreciated

        Very nice, lovely imagery, and a really good message about security.

        Bravo!

        • Poetic Dan

          Thanks for your cheers
          And popping your head in
          Spectacular bit of rhyming!

          Hats off!

          A delightful read Dan.

            Back again, I thank you my friend. Could you make sure it's locked when you leave or maybe keep a key 😉

          • Goldfinch60
