no rhyme or reason

~ Candace

there is no man in the moon
no green cheese
no high jumping cow
no one to talk to in the middle of the night
no one watching over me as i sleep
the twinkling stars lied
they’re wearing cubic zirconium
the mouse has a digital watch
contrary mary is growing weed
and there are no shells by the sea
the sheep are on strike,
no new woolen mittens for this kitten
all rhyme and reason has been
stollen by wee willie
and i am left sitting with the king –
no pipe, no bowl, no music

Day 3 of OctPoWriMo and the prompt was “what drains you”.

  5. This is super creative! I love it!

    Especially these sections:

    “the mouse has a digital watch
    contrary mary is growing weed
    and there are no shells by the sea”

    “all rhyme and reason has been
    stollen by wee willie
    and i am left sitting with the king –
    no pipe, no bowl, no music”
