A weird night on an avenue

In 2015 I wrote a funny poem.
I have revised it again. Just have a look!
I hope you enjoy reading it!

Here you go!

One night, on an empty avenue,
I did not have a rendezvous,
wanted to have an overview,
but without too much ballyhoo.

There came a little kangaroo,
and next to him a marabou.
My thinking was: "oh Manitou!"
I closed my eyes: "that can't be true!"

They had a crazy retinue,
I thought it was a misconstrue.
They laughed like a bugaboo,
while they rode on a caribou.

There was a funny cockatoo,
that asked me for an interview.
Its question had no curlicue:
"Why don't you wear a single shoe?"

I had not seen it hitherto,
that I was out without a shoe.
Wearing shoes that is the clue,
while walking on an avenue.

And if you wonder, if it's true,
I am just laughing, thereunto.
A nightmare was it coming through
too much food at a barbecue.

  • What a nice idea! Thanks so much for showing me these poems, Rosemary. They has been written in the same style as my poem. How funny!

  • Thanks a lot, dear Rosemary.

  •    I keep my college book of poetry in my bag most of the time  . The way you choose your words and your rhythms are wonderful  , musical and have a story line which is full of comedy and funny situations  . Here is a similar poem from my favorite book of poetry  " sound and sense "
