ODE TO LONELY

 
LONELY'S GONE I KNOW NOT WHERE!
IS SHE HIDING UNDER A CHAIR ?
IS SHE LOCKED IN THE CELLAR?
PUSHED IN BY THAT LUCAS FELLA!
 
IS SHE LIVING HOME ALONE?
WITH NO ACCESS TO A PHONE
TO CALL THE WORLD TO HELP DISCOVER
IF'S SHE RUN AWAY FROM HER 'MOTHER'
 
IS HER FOOD JUST BREAD NO BUTTER?
HARD AS ROCK FOUND IN THE GUTTER
WATER SIPPED FROM A PIPE
WITH A TASTE SHE DOES NOT LIKE
 
IS SHE COLD AND ALL ALONE?
CLOTHES ALL WET, DAMP TO THE BONE
HAIR ALL KNOTTED ON HER HEAD
WISHING SHE WAS SAFE IN BED
 
IS SHE CRYING MUMMA HELP?
IN THE DARK A LITTLE WHELP
IS SHE WISHING SHE WAS BACK?
IN THAT PLACE ALL DARK AND BLACK
 
I BET SHE'S HAPPY AS CAN BE
THE OTHER TODDLERS SEEM TO BE
APPEARING NUMBERS ONE OR TWO
ON EBAY OR ON SHELLY'S TO
 
BEING SOLD  TO OTHER MUM'S
WHO'VE NO IDEA WHAT JUST BEEN DONE
WHO  THEY'VE TAKEN TO THEIR BOSOM
ARH THE TINY LITTLE POSSUMS
 
SO LONELY COULD BE ALL ALONE
BUT SAFE AT LAST COS NO ONES HOME
JUST HER AND MAJ THE ICY QUEENY
HER REVENGE COULD SO BE EASY....

  1. LOL Dee, you are sooo funny! How you think all this stuff up amazes me!
    Have to admit though that when I read the word 'possums' in there, I did wonder if you were secretly Dame Edna!!!!
    Great poetry as always! hee hee
    Hugs Sharon x

  2. I'm here now, Sharon! Had a busy morning and now have to go out again.
    This must have been posted very late last night AFTER I had gone to bed at 11.pm

    Superb poetry yet again, Dee.

    Do I take it then that Lucas has also left home???? ....mind you I'm not so bothered about where he has got to as he deserves everything that he gets!

    Do hope that Ronny replies to this (though she's not been commenting on our blogs of late) so that the mystery of Lonely's whereabouts can be quickly solved.... but I have a feeling that she's still there and hopefully enjoying a better life....now that the other toddlers have been dispatched.

    1. I think Lonely is still at home with Ronny, there is still work to do on the car, lots of little nooks and crannys for little people to get into and clean :)
      Lucas is probably sitting with his feet up watching cartoon as I write !
      She will appear at some point if only to show us Lonely working away like a demon while Lucas sits and scoffs himself!!

  3. Further to my rhyming email
    We could offer a secure jail
    Where Lucas could languish sadly.
    (Well, he has behaved quite badly!)
    Our Gregors could mount a guard
    To let him exercise in the yard,
    And then return him to a cell-
    Let him scream, let him yell-
    He needs to receive his just deserts
    To learn how much poor Lonely hurts.
    So, should the Ice Queen begin to see
    How Lucas appears to you and me
    She only needs to call and mention
    That Lucas needs juvenile detention
    And we will send a Gregor armed guard
    So Lonely's life becomes less hard.
