Pumpkin hill
In pigtails
Overkill
And some weed
In the back
Growing beanstalk
For Jack?

Drive-Thru

It is not everyday
You see ostrich crew
Arrive for your order
At the Drive-Thru,
Or have zebras peek in
To ensure you are pleased
Beating deer to the chase
To customers’ ease.

A Bit Eccentric
Photo: Inbar Asif
He may be a bit eccentric
And his music may be bold,
But his mama will be happy
That his head will not be cold,
That someone is watching over
Just in case he should be told,
That it is time to eat the snack
Before his energy will fold.
Merriam-Webster’s word for July 7, 2018:
Eccentric

Six Words Are Not Quite Enough

Six words are not quite enough
For me who lengthy rhymes adore
So instead of words to doff
I’ll celebrate with six times four.

Not exactly preventive
And yet he sure looks to me
Like Smokey Bear’s evil cousin
Holding fires to be.

Did Aladdin forget you
On the shore
Of this lake,
Or did he just land
For a quick dip
To take?

She twirls this way and back again
Jingling beads fit for a reign
Tuto flying
Boas, too.
Joyfully bedizened
To wazoo.

Market Day

“Where is that boy?” Hassan demanded.
“I sent your son to your father,” Um-Ali responded from below.
Her voice was calm in the way that often enraged him. As if she’s talking to a baby, he fumed.
“What were you thinking?!” he exploded. “You know I need him on market day!”
“I know you need help on market day,” she stated. “I called Mustafa.”
Her brother. Lord of bossy annoyance. Hassan glowered at his wife.
She chuckled. “You look exactly as Ali had this morning when he thought he’d have to go with you.”

“Now it’s my turn to ask you a question,” she said. “And you have to answer.”
“Fair enough,” I smiled. After all, I’d just subjected this child to a long list of questions to which she had to respond.
“What if,” she began, twinkle-eyed, “you had only one cookie, but you needed to share it with fifty kids?”
“Hmm …” I pondered. “That’s a tough one. One cookie only?”
“Yep!” She raised her eyebrows in satisfaction at what had to be my stupefied expression.
“Can I hand out something else instead?” I bargained.
“Nope. One cookie, fifty kids.” The eight-year-old was utterly too pleased with herself.
I smelled a rat but I wasn’t going to show it. She’d earned this after soldiering on through the difficult portions of the testing battery. “I give up.” I raised my hands in surrender. “I don’t see how I can split one cookie between fifty kids.”
“I never said how big the cookie had to be, did I?” she chortled. “If you have a gigantic humongous cookie it would be easy peasy to have everyone share it!”

Jabberwocky

If the spoot
Got your boot
And the ptuk
Stole your truck,
It is time to call
A glonky
To clean up
This jabberwocky.
