I nicked Nick
With a stick
After he picked
And tried to hit
Me
With a brick.
He should not try
Such a sick
Kind of shtick
If he doesn’t like
Being tricked
And summarily pricked
By a royally ticked
But quick thinking
Chick.
For the dVerse Quadrille challenge: Nick
Tis the Whey Weigher’s way
To weigh
The whey
As she goes
About her day
Sifting curds
Through woven trays.
You can stay
If you may
To watch the way
She weighs her whey
In pots and jugs
Of rounded
Clay.
And though so many
Will downplay
The lowly whey
As throw away,
She knows it is
Quite fair to say
That whey is worthy
Of more sway
And should more than
Earn it’s pay.
(I had WAY too much fun with this today! 🙂 )

Just you wait
And you’ll see
The real brave
I will be!
I will walk
With feet bare
From right here
To right there,
Without wobble
At all
I will cross
And not fall!
Note: It is WAY too early yet for me to do anything relating to the other meaning of the prompt word. So, nope … it was gonna be a “not” for me … 😉

“You can do it!
Go higher!
Almost there,
Almost there!”
Garden Gnome,
Will inspire
Every bug
On stem’s stair.

Look, Mama! Look at this!
Can you believe how high?!
I did the whole thing by myself
And I will tell you why:
It is the tallest building king
That ever touched the sky,
And I will build it up again
Each time someone walks by.

It went up.
It went down.
It went all the slow way
Around.
It’s no more
Nor the store
But it sure was
There
Before.

Nimble Nelly
Bought a deli
And made a menu
With mashed yam.
She wrote in cheese
Hot from the oven
And sculpted bread rolls
From cold ham.

When the push
Comes to shove
And a full stop
Recommended,
Put a rock
‘Hind to lock
So any roll
Is suspended.

This dung pie?
Don’t you try.
Ownership
He’ll deny.
He lives here
That is true,
But the poop
Ain’t his do.
He’s a stubborn
Old donkey,
And he’ll blame it
On Wonky.

In the contest for
Bling,
He will certainly
Win.
In the roll call for
Glamour,
He will rise above
Clamor.
In the race for the
Best
He’s the most smartly
Dressed.
As cool temple guards
Go
He’s the top of the
Show.
