Today’s a Day for a Lousy Poem 

by Captain Dolphineas Poppy. 


 

Today’s a day for a lousy poem,

written with speed and with nothing owing.

A blue car hurls down the potholed road,

walking the intersection I’m almost de toed.

There's a piece of banana thrown in the air,

like a big fruity rain drop from an angry white bear.

The cross walks markings are all but a ghost, but it’s the walker home and they are the host. 

Stop your car, yell if you want, but  it’s a bear uncaged your trying taunt.

I’ll grumble smile with my paws and glower,

I’ll howl and dance and I’ll sing in the shower.

This poem might be lousy but at least it’s created 

and your tires in the pot hole are now serrated.
