Discombobulated
It seems that I am obligated
to rhyme with discombobulated
So, now I have - my work is done
I'm off to have a little fun!

Poetry Month, Day 6 - Discombobulated
Today's word - Discombobulated - was given to me by my cousin-out-law, Tamara! I'm not sure if she chose that because it fits me to a tea or not - but it does!

Poetry Month, Day 5 - Gamble
My friend Sibby gave me today's word - Gamble. It's a great word for today because I was just making plans to go to Las Vegas for the American Library Association Conference! And, the last time I was in Vegas, I was with Sibby - and Jean and Patti! And, I just went to a casino last week with Sibby and Patti! Well, here goes nothing - I hope it's a winner!!
Gamble
Some people go to Las Vegas to amble
and people-watch - man what a trip.
Some people go to Las Vegas to scramble
to hit every joint on the strip.
Me? I just go to Las Vegas to gamble,
I stay 'til I've lost every chip!

Poetry Month, Day 4 - Platypus
Today's word, Platypus, was suggested by T. J. Shay, music teacher extraordinaire!! I wrote it at the end of a very long day, so I hope you'll be forgiving!!
Found on www.funnyjunk.com
Platypus
I feel just like a platypus,
A mixed up mess indeed!
I feel just like an octopus
with more arms than I need!
I never seem to fit the mold.
Instead, I always break it.
Although I try, I'm uncontrolled.
Normalcy?
I'll fake it!

Poetry Month, Day 3 - Cantaloupe
Today's word came from my friend, Joanna Marple - thanks (I think)!
Cantaloupe
My mother brought a baby home
It looks a little weird.
It's sort of like a garden gnome
Of course, without the beard.
Its head's shaped like a cantaloupe,
its skin looks like a prune.
It smells just like some stinky soap.
I hope it's leaving soon!

Poetry Month, Day 2 - Equlibrium
For day two of Poetry Month, I used the word, Equilibrium, given to me by my awesome writer friend, Erik. I'm still not really feeling it but I want to follow through on this - I'm just going to apologize in advance if it stinks!
Equilibrium
I've lost my equilibrium.
There's too much on my plate.
I'm feeling some delirium
I'm really in a state.
I have to let a few things go
But which ones could I lose?
They're equally important, so,
It's way too hard to choose.
I think I ought to organize,
I need to make a plan.
And if I can prioritize,
I'll say, "I think I can!"
