Here is my latest whimsical poem for your review. My lipstick is too bright at the best of times, so I decided to write a poem about it.
Red Lipstick
I shall wear too much red lipstick today.
I’m going to splash in puddles and sing in the rain.
The hills are alive with the Sound of Music.
I shall wave at the boats, leaving the estuary.
And collect my oyster shells to make necklaces. I’m a bit crafty you see.
I shall use my favourite word today – panacea.
And if you think I am being verbose – See ya.
I shall stand up for myself and be as cheeky as a pup.
I will do my silly walk to cheer myself up.
I shall assert myself. NO, is a complete sentence.
Why are you being such an unbelievable menace?
I shall practice my pointless dolphin impression.
And in my car, scream out my frustrations.
No catastrophizing or ruminating for me.
I shall wear a moustache ice cream from Scrumdiddly.
I will meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same.
I will wear garish clothes and be mutton dressed as lamb.
I will tell silly jokes and not give a care
How many ears did Dr. Spock have?
Three.
The left ear, the right ear, and the final front ear.
Slow down snails crossing, I will chalk on my local park path.
I never achieve much when I scurry and dash.
Free swallow aerial display at 4 pm today;
Will also be chalked to remind folk to notice them feeding and at play.
My Dementors and fear can take a run and a jump.
I have lived too much; I have no cares left. NONE.
I’ll still be kind and help where I can,
But I will no longer dim my light, for anyone as I am my superwoman.
