Dearest Traitor, my problems are solved:
I have learned you are deeply #involved
In a scheme meant to screw me,
To sue and undo me.
You'll pay right on cue -- unabsolved!

Many people can NOT be persuaded
To rethink their convictions; they're jaded
By the lies they've been told
And relentlessly sold.
Unconvince them? That pipe dream's long faded.

Ninny Nanny Netticoat,
In a white petticoat,
With a red nose,
— The longer she stands,
The shorter she grows.

A #rhyme & #riddle in one.
As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits:
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were there going to St. Ives?

Recorded in early 1700s, this nursery #rhyme is believed to be much older.
Hark, hark! the dogs do bark,
Beggars are coming to town.
Some in rags, some in jags,
And some in velvet gowns.

* At This Party*

It is enough for you to say
Whenever you glance my way.

And yet I have the need to seek
Assurance of what eyes speak.

So how can I work the room
Until between us is no room?

about the game
would never defame
or throw blame

the mere sight
brings such sheer delight

under the cover of dark
let fear disembark
just merely park

This week’s #poetryprompt from my kidlit Rhyme Time group:

RhymeZone [the top 5 rhyming words in English]:
touch-much
above-love
give-live

Bad luck has befallen this snake,
Who’s upset by his jew’lry heist take!
His chagrin is immense
Cuz he called on his fence
And was told that his haul was all fake.

#Rhyme and #Reason: AfD Day, Where's the Beef From? https://managingeditor.substack.com/p/rhyme-and-reason

My complaints rhyme
All the fecking time.

And do the people care?
“We like silly prose & tinted hair.”
