OK, it’s starting to get to me. Can’t go outside – it’s raining. I’ve cleaned the bathroom – there’s nothing left to clean. Well, maybe there is, but I’m not doing it today. Yes, I have knitting to do and several books to read, but I’m climbing the walls. This is where it really gets “silly.”
I posted parallel poems to a poem by William Carlos Williams – The Red Wheelbarrow – in my last post and found some old pictures. OK. I like looking at pictures. So I decided to find another short poem and do some more imitations – with pictures. Here it(they) is(are).
From Ogden Nash
The Cow
The cow is of the bovine ilk;
One end is moo, the other milk.
From me:
The Pig
The pig is of the porcine kind;
One end is oink, the other rind.
Bacon anyone?
The Snake
The snake is on the elapine list;
One end is rattle, the other hisss..t
Well, you get the idea.
I can’t believe I came that close to even take a picture.
The Horse
The horse is in the equine group;
One end is neigh, the other poop.
Well, I think it’s time to go 🙂
Have a poetic day!
