DITTY
Dites-nous
Little ditty
Why your verse
Feels so giddy
Why your tempo
And rhyme
Fill our heads
Though your bloodline’s
Mundane
Perhaps some
Feel disdain
But most find you
On rerun instead
Ecoutez
Little ditty
There’s no need
For pity
We love all your
Whimsy and bounce
When we hear
Your refrain
We don’t cringe
Or complain
We just join you for fun
That’s what counts!

C'est très bien, Karen. I like that voice talking to the ditty very much, "for fun". Sweet poem.
ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup, Linda. I appreciate your encouragement.
