Poetry Monday :: Cousins

Poetry Monday er en udfordring, hvor Diane fra On the Border er vores vært. Og nok engang kommer jeg til at undskylde til mine danske læsere, for heller ikke denne mandags stikord, Cousins, fik nogen danske rim til at dukke op i mit stakkels hoved. Et engelsk vrøvlevers var alt, der var krudt til.

-- 👪 👧 👦 👪 👦 👧 👪 --

 Cousins, is the theme for today. A nonsense poem was all my crazy brain could think up today. Actually I do not have dozens of cousins!

Poetry Monday is a challenge, hosted by Diane at On the Border.

Of cousins
I've got dozens.
Some long
that like a song,
Some short
that love a sport.
Most are older
and bolder,
Some are younger
and hunger
for cake and for tea.
And we all agree
that cake and tea
will fill us with glee.
Thus we congregate
and all brew and bake
Until tea and cake
Are ready for all
Then we have a ball.

  1. I am smiling at your poem, and wishing that I had met my cousins. I was in my fifties before I knew I had any and they live on a different continent.

    1. Tak skal du have! Jeg er ked af at krudtet ikke altid rækker til at digte på dansk også.

  3. My children and grandchildren have many cousins. I had two and have no idea if they still live, but suspect not.

    1. I had many cousins, more than a dozen ;) But many of them were much older than me.

  4. What a fun, clever rhyme! I have a few cousins, and we only see each other rarely, mostly at weddings and funerals.
