A Sonnet For Feminine Cheese Sticks
In honor of National Poetry Day, which by the time many of you read this will be long past, I've composed the following sonnet. A poorly written, badly rhymed sonnet that will probably make Bill Shakespeare's ghost scream in agony before it searches me out and rips the laptop from my arms and tosses it out the window.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I'VE NEVER CLAIMED TO BE A POET.
BUT THAT'S NOT STOPPING ME. BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
OK. On with the poem. And off with the caps lock button.
A local shopping mall today we went
Because we still had some dollars unspent
Let us go all! We said, and with a laugh
For we both knew that this would be a gaff
But bribed, did we, our son so blond and tall
Not much would he not do for a gum ball
Behaved, did he as we both walked the aisles
He did not climb or run or show his wiles
But this is not a tale of his good deeds
It is a cute kid yarn, I do concede
We walked through Target looking all about
When from behind me I heard The Boy shout
"CHEESE STICKS" he said; I turned to look upon
And saw him eying some women's tampons
9 What is he talking about???:
Oh... You mean POPSICLES!!
Oh my,
oh dear.
That's some funny stuff right there.
That is freaking hysterical. Cheese sticks? I've heard a lot of things, that's a first! Poor kid will now be scarred for life when it comes to dairy products!
LOL! This post is a shining example of why I chose your blog to receive an award - check out this link to see the award. http://kathyskandids.blogspot.com/2009/10/first-award.html#comments
Oh that's just golden. One of those, 'I wish the video camera were on' moments.
HAHAHAHA! you and I must be on the same wave-length. I woke up this morning and tried to write a sonnet. It was a total failure. I'm glad you've pulled it off. At least one of us has a creative side :-)
Hilarious? How did you explain to "the boy" what they really were?
You live in Minnesota right? One or two years ago the Minnesota Opera mounted an opera version of "The Grapes of Wrath".
Ever heard of that? Do you find opera dorky?
Cheers!

Ahahahaha!
I do hope you set him straight. But knowing you, you probably left that to Mom to explain.
Right?
ROTFL! Well, I know grown men who are confused by tampons.
