The Friday Fling Writes Round Robin Replies!
Friday Fling #187 July 6th 2012
This week we are calling the Fling challenge the Round Robin Replies.
WT Heck is that you may ask? A poetry game!
The first poem posted can be about anything. And it is, I’m posting it, actually two different ones, at the end of this intro! Then the next person to post posts a poem as a reply to the first. The next replies to the second. And so on! In other words much like some of us already do in comments on someone’s poem!
This week the Friday Fling Roars Into July with Round Robin Replies!
Be sure to read and comment Richly on everyone’s posts! Then fly off to a fine summer weekend!
Fickle Finger of Fate Award for June 29th
Congratulations Michelle!
Here are a couple of poems offered to begin, from Scotorum’s 2009 archives. If you are first, and neither prods your muse to reply, just post whatever you like to start things off.
The Wit and Wisdom of Wally Weiner
In the world of Wally Weiner
what looks fat is really leaner.
Everyone is nice, not meaner,
and all the girls love Wally Weiner!
By now I know you’ve likely guessed
that his imagination’s messed.
You think it’s time that he confessed
that Wally sees things at their best.
Well what is wrong with seeing good
In this big global neighborhood?
Why see just bad stuff when you could
see all the good; I think you should!

IT
I’m tired of it.
I’m just so tired of it.
I’m really tired of it.
Tired tired tired of it.
I get inspired by it.
And then I’m wired by it.
I get so mired in it.
But then get fired from it.
And now I’m tired of it.

IT’S OK
I’m not tired of it anymore
Because I’ve figured out the score.
No longer does it seem a bore.
Now joy oozes from each pore.
Ecstasy and so much more,
from head to toe and to the core.
So give me one, two, three or four!

I give you a four
For you are no longer bored
You see you learned to open doors
You see good in all and enjoy even more

I kidd you not bored
Um all in toted
Fell down and tore
My pants
I waz in toed
Now um all stored up
And you say you bored
Um just plain tired
And I toted
The heavy load
And that aint no toad

My pants are now stitched
And I can hop like a toad
So let’s all get hitched
Down this poetic road

Thank you for the Fickle finger
I thought you would point the middle
For the stinker that seemed to linger
Now I’m ready to play the fiddle
~~~~~
Let’s form a band with me on fiddle
Bob can play the lead guitar
I know that Bettie can do more than twiddle
She can play percussion like a star
~~~~
Diane can play keyboard like Billy Joel
We’ve got the rhythm keeping beat
And everyone can join in to rock and roll
It’s time to boogie with our dancing feet

I like what Wally Wiener sees
He’s so kind and wants to please
Even in the stormiest seas
He calms things down with gentle ease
~~~~
With a name like “Wally Wiener”
I think of coneys and not so leaner
Loaded with onions and so good
And you do please roasted over wood

Roasted me wieners over charcoal wood
I stood as close as I could
But the smoke did run me should
Didnt wanna burn me wieners so stood I would
Wally wieners
Are the best and leaner
Not to much fat to linger
And the tease is so much the keener
~*~
~*~
Keener waz so the great winner
Not so much the sinner
But waz so the bestest clinger
And I just love to ride in his little dingy
The dingy waz an awesome runner
So great on all the turners
Wind in your hair all summers
When keener wrecked his dingy it waz so a boomer
~^~
Hope for all so right as rain
our world no longer full of pain
no selfish purpose one to gain
leaving our heads a shaking..so insane
Instead, we take a breath..a small step back
gather love, hope and kindness that we pack
ignore our human darkness of black
rejoice in our beautiful blessings… all intact
