A Silly Ditty

by Cathy MacKenzie

 

I have a dear friend

Who talks of midgets

And silly sillies, widgets,

Whatever tales she can blend.

*

She spiels many words,

Stories of dragons

And fire-red wagons,

Even bizarre birds.

*

She likes to dance

Flamenco style

Down the grocery aisle,

As if in a magical trance.

*

Once during a crazy caper

She tangoed and twirled

And appallingly hurled,

Cleaning up with toilet paper.

*

If I’d had a camera near,

I would’ve taken photos

For she’d staged such a pose

That made my eyes tear.

*

I said I should film her,

Put the footage on TV

For all the world to see,

Create a comical stir.

*

She changed her ways,

Watches what she does,

Not wanting to create a buzz

For the rest of her days.
