What? Friday Again?

Go have words with G-Man if you don't know what a 55 is all about - apparently he is the ringleader! It will then leave you with all the weekend to recover...

A 55 Morning Awakening


If people wake up very grumpy,
like a camel with a humpy,
I like to try and make them smile
by being silly for a while
until their frowning faces brighten
as they feel their burdens lighten.
Then like a golden buttercup
they can cheer some others up!

Join me in a love in, folks?

N.B. :- Thanks to Dan's careful counting, it came to light that I'd copied and pasted my Mark 1 55, which only had 54 words. In Mark 2, I'd added an extra one to get the total 55. I have now come back to edit my mistake, before any other sharp eyed reader takes me to task. I never mind being corrected!

  8. Hi Jinksy,
    It is always a delight to chase you around in blogosphere. Another good poem. Do they come to your mind suddenly and you write them down or it's a sustained effort?

    Have a great weekend.

  15. Loved it. And, by my count, which could be wrong, you did it in 54 words!

    I like visiting here and getting a lift, a smile, a happiness to pass along.

  16. I can see you had a lot of experience with Verse and Worse but this is great - really loved it ~ I am back with a new hip which at present does not perform quite as well as the old one did but much better than it did for it's last 6 months. In training ~ Eddie

  17. Your quest for rhyme is never-ending.
    I hope you have more poems pending.
    So all good wishes now I'm sending
    But sometimes I run out of steam.

  18. This poem perfectly reflects my love and I! Except some mornings he just won't cheer and I end up in his grumpy mood! That is very bad!

  19. Dan-
    You are correct, I left out the last word 'folks' - as per 'Join me in a love in, folks? This was due to copy and paste error early this morning. Well spotted.

    And Doctor FTSE -

    I always have a poem pending
    but that can be quite heaartrending
    when I cannot find and ending.
    Things aren't easy as they seem.

  29. There was a blog lady called Jynksi
    Who wrote verse as fast as Nijinski.
    They made her write fast
    Nail her skill to the mast
    And be read on TV by Naplinski.

    I'll be here on Fridays LOL Eddie x
