For The Fun Of It

Warning: This poem has not been edited for grammatical errors or meter. It was written for the sheer fun of it. Enjoy:)

My Mom's A Nut
by: Jessica Stanford

My mother tried to warn me
to stay away from thee.
"Your eyes will cross, or you'll go blind
from watching that t.v!"

I didn't heed the warning.
I thought it was absurd.
And now my eyes are criss crossing
just like a cuckoo bird.

Next time, I swear I'll listen
to my dear mom's advice.
I'll clean my room and do my chores-
won't have to ask me twice.

Unless, she tells me no t.v.
It makes your eyesight bad.
On second thought, my mom's a nut.
I'll listen to my dad.

  6. Everyone, Thanks! It was fun to write. Sometimes we just need to write for the fun of it:)

    Alison-Thanks! I'm so excited. I've seen others win blogging awards, but I never really knew how that was determined. Thank You! I'm so glad that you like the blog. I put a lot of thought into what I write, and I always wonder if people are stopping by because they like it, or because they feel sorry for me.

    Just of out curiousity, how do I go about posting my award? I'm relatively new to all of this, so I haven't a clue. Do I just copy it and post it like clip art? I'm so excited. I want to post it immediately:)Thanks, again!

    And, thanks to everyone who follows the blog. I hope we can learn and grow together.
