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

Write something with LOTS of onomatopoeia--
or focus on a specific type of sound (i.e., the sounds of water)

The political scene's made me weary,
And the onslaught of news makes me bleary.
As election day nears,
My tense mental state veers
Between guardedly hopeful and leery.

Oct. 7 is #BathtubDay!

When it’s time to get clean, we can choose
Either shower or #bathtub — I’ll use
A hot shower each time
Cuz I hate soapy slime,
And in tubs the slime clings like tattoos.

There once was a kid with bad dreams Who in nightmares had pants split their seams But when they transitioned Their fears repositioned And now missing tops cause the screams.

Said a starry-eyed, non-boating male
To his wife, "Sammy's sailboat's for sale.
I must buy it! It's cheap!"
Her response was to weep
And reply "Better learn how to bail."

Conferring re: verse-science junctions…

"My poor neighbor's not much of a saver,
So I did her a favor and gave 'er
Some financial advice.
Her reply was 'No dice!
I shall buy what I savor. Won't waver!'"

The traveler Jack carries? A #Hurricane
Bringing hangovers and headache pain
That red Solo cup
Will mess him right up
But it's Mardi Gras! There he goes again...

Jack stalked a huge fish 'cross the #harbor
As it hid in the shade of an arbor
Out of lead for his #lure
He cut short his coiffure
Now he won't have to pay for a barber

"I abhor cousin Stewy, it's true.
But don't judge me for feuding with Stu:
Yes I #harbor a grudge,
And I'm NOT gonna budge
Cuz he 'borrowed' and wrecked my canoe."

Said a woman, "It's easy to #lure me,
Because nothing can ever inure me
To fine choc'late's allure.
And of this I am sure:
There's undoubtedly NO way to cure me."

#Limerick Ode To Music Day

It’s Music Day. Toast it with verse.
Do it soon; there’s no time to rehearse.
Play an instrument, sing,
Simply listen, or swing…
Cuz a music-less life is a curse.

My Plea On #InternationalMusicDay:

Dear radio station, don’t pander;
Kindly program your music with candor.
Though I’d rather not carp
And I hate to sound sharp,
Calling “country harp” classical’s slander.

Our new Weatherman sure missed the mark 🤷‍♂️
Forecast monsoons that'd lift Noah's Ark! ⛈️
Then a week went by 📆
Not a #cloud in the sky ☀️
While the kids all flew kites in the park🪁

"Your nine dogs are a nuisance and blight,"
Said a neighbor. "They #bark day and #night.
Our whole block plans to sue."
Said the owner, "Boo-hoo!
Such ado! Let me know if they bite."
