Poem #11

Dedicated to my friend Becca Sears, who suggested I write this poem.

Llama

When talking ‘bout a llama

I sometimes think of the llama in a red pajama

Or of Kuzco in the Emperor’s New Groove

A movie I highly approve

Wanna tell your mamma

About an animal known as the llama?

You can find them in the USA

Or all the way

Down in the country with the equator

Which gives you a greater

Chance of seeing one

And may make you stunned

They love to spit

And have very distinct characteristics

They can carry packs

On their backs

And will help you

Get through with what you need to do

They aren’t very common around these parts

And don’t exactly show a bunch of smarts

You can enjoy them if you feel like it

They’re not really a misfit

They’re a very awesome mammal

Just don’t think of them as a camel.

Poem #10

I actually wrote this on December 1st which was when I was supposed to post this, hence the 1st & 2nd line. But I got busy (somehow) and forgot. But finally, here is POEM #10!!

Start of Winter

Welcome December!

What happened to November?

Time to prepare for the cold

And the snow to behold

With a time at the end

Which we will be able to spend

On a holiday break

In which we will partake

In the spirit of giving

On this holiday that comes after Thanksgiving

After that holiday comes the next one

That is always so much fun

Where you stay up late

While you get to wait

For the next year to arrive

As you watch it on your TV, live

Then comes the next month

That only occurs once

In the entire year

But still brings that COLD, breezy atmosphere.
