Poetry Monday :: Be Nasty Day

If you want to read some more poetry,  Diane and Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings  write wonderful, funny, thought-provoking, ingenious and honestly well written verse. Go and read.
  Karen of Baking in a Tornado has joined us in this crazy pursuit, and promises us at least a poem a month - may  we hope for more.
  SpikesBestMate often publishes a nice verse in the comments, and helps out at topic supplying.

  Jenny at Procrastinating Donkey who has been a faithful particimant, is taking a break due to her husband's recent passing from this world. Let's continue to send warm thoughts, good energy, and lots of prayers her way.


Be Nasty Day.
One day to be nasty, one day to be foul.
One Abracadabra Day - and not two.
You can't always be good and as wise as an owl
you can't always be  tractable too.

One day to be nasty, but what will I do?
Put tacks on the chairs, and milk in your shoe?
Put salt in the sugarbowl? Rice in the cheese,
And pretend they are worms, pretty please!

Put a slug in the slipper, and an egg in your jeans?
I have loads of ideas, all funny and mean.
But I think I will wait till a day you don't think
And eat it up, hook, line and sink!

    1. Oh, they have to learn. One Adracadabra day a year. If you're nasty outside of this, you're in for trouble.

  2. Hahaha! Love it! Well done, Charlotte. Mine is along the same lines - great minds think alike! I'll post it on Diane's page when she has published her own poem.

  3. Those are some pretty interesting ideas, glad you've decided to put it off, now the questions are who, and when.

    1. I unashamedly admit that I have partly stolen the ideas from an Italian song called Chiribiricoccola, and from Mr. Mysterious and Company by Sid Fleischmann.
