Welcome to Gaia! ::

Here's a silly kids poem that I entered into a Children Poetry book:

The crazy up-side down purple day.
A day when no one wants to play.

It only comes once a year.
Sending people to hide in fear.

They stay inside the whole day through.
For their ancestors had done it too.

Scared of pigs flying in the air,
and the polka-dotted poodle fair.

People gawk at purple things,
and wonder why it’s all so strange.

Watching flamingoes walk on their hands,
and listening to big brass bands.

Some slugs run by with smiling faces,
heading towards the rainbow races.

And turkeys tickle teachers toes,
he likes it of course everyone knows.

Seeing the ruckus they all shake their heads.
The parents go back to their big comfy beds.

Then a kid goes, “Teeheeheehee.”
“Come along and play with me!”

Before the father could say no,
a little boy was on the go.

He danced into spaghetti rain,
and jumped upon a candy cane.

Once aboard, a little scared.
His television program aired.

He pushed the button that said, “Down,”
and out sprung a silly clown!

Instead of going the way he thought,
the candy cane upward fought.

On the way, he did pass,
Mother Goose in dead last!

Behind her as she backwards flew,
was the woman who lived in a shoe!

Then floating by bubble-gum rocks,
he happened to meet Goldilocks!

She took him down to the ground,
where Mr. Dillon could be found.

They watch him as he hopelessly tries,
to catch the sneaky pecan pies.

The teacher gives up with a low moan,
and says to the boy, “We need to go home.”

Once in his house, he turned on his show.
The program displayed, “We would like you to know…”

“This day was never meant to be feared,
although it seems a little weird.”

The crazy up-side down purple day.
A day when everyone wants to play.

Thanks!!! heart
