I think I'll write a silly rhyme <br />To help me pass away the time... <br />I see no fireflies tonight, <br />Neither stars nor moon are in sight, <br />Darkness is all I see <br />And scary shadows <br />Hiding in the trees <br />****** <br />(Next day) <br /> <br />The bumble bees have ceased to fly, <br />There are no rainbows in the sky... <br />The birds sing no melody, <br />Perhaps they are lonesome just <br />Like me, <br />And yearn for tomorrow <br />To welcome you home, <br />I long to hear your voice on the telephone. <br /> <br />(late afternoon) <br /> <br />The day has been busy in spite of my <br />Complaining, <br />At least today, it isnt raining. <br /> <br />(At Nursing Home with story hr. children to entertain elderly) <br /> <br />The old folks laughed and clapped their hands, <br />They thought the children's singing <br />Was simply grand... <br />The children sang, 'Jesus loves me' and <br />The 'Alphabet Song' in the round, <br />And told the story of the little mouse <br />Whose family could not be found. <br />But when the story ended, they were all <br />Around him, and loved him so, <br />But soon we all had to go... <br /> <br />(late evening) <br /> <br />And now my dear I'm just killing time <br />Until you are in these arms of mine... <br />Hurry, Sunday! <br />Come on Monday! <br />Rush in Tuesday! <br />Oh, no, Wednesday! <br />What should I do? <br />Can hardly wait to put my eyes on you. <br /> <br />So this silly thing is coming to an end <br />But I'm so glad you are my friend, <br />My buddy, my pal, <br />I'm very happy to be your <br />Everything! <br /> <br />10-50-10: 03 <br />Sat May 21,2005 <br /> <br />(My mind is at play-again)<br /><br />Dorothy (Alves) Holmes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-silly-rhyme-to-pass-the-time/
