Can't keep it at bay for too long. Sorry, folks. Anyone who knows a of a remedy, please send it to me quickly, with instructions for use...
One For The Birds
Fardels and fol-de rols,
footloose and free
a jelly bean giggled
and leapt up a tree.
A bird on a twiglet
gobbled it down
but it wobbled inside him
and made Birdy frown.
"A wobble, a weeble
a splot and a splat"
Tree said to Birdy
"Regurgitate that
and once more your tum
will be peaceful and still."
When Birdy heard this
he opened his bill.
Out hopped the jelly bean
glad to be free,
and Birdy popped back
to his nest in the tree.
"A wobble, a weeble
a splot and a splat"
Tree said to Birdy
"And now, that is that!"
Spring madness..there is no cure.
ReplyDeleteYou don't need anyone to be giving you a remedy, Jinksy. I loved ~ One For The Birds! Just live with it and keep us happy!
ReplyDeleteha ha! spring madness!
ReplyDelete"Put on your kaftan
ReplyDeleteAnd drink some red wine.
And well before nightfall
You'll be feeling fine!"
Ann, I think you're right, and Wanda and Shadow, you obviously both don't care anyway...
ReplyDeleteBut will that prescription stop the rhyming, Doctor, or only the madness?

ReplyDeleteOh beanie, my beanie
ReplyDeleteit's brave that you are
but stop being reckless
or go back in the jar!
You have a particular talent, and I say keep sharing it!
ReplyDeleteJinksy,
ReplyDeletethat was superb!

todd
Putz - you must have a strong stomach, if you appreciate what appears on this blog..
ReplyDeleteand Derrick, I never realised madness was catching? Technobabe won't mind though...
Todd - you slipped in there while I wasn't looking! Crafty!
ReplyDeleteBut... But... What of the jelly bean? Did he (she, it) live happily ever after? Enquiring minds want to know!
ReplyDeleteSuldog - I think I'll save it for your next birthday...
ReplyDeleteor maybe not:-
ReplyDeleteThe jelly bean fell to the floor
and wandered off apace,
till he got gobble-lobbled up
by a hedgehog in a race
to eat as much food as he could
to last him through the winter,
a hibernating pin cushion,
as spiky as a splinter.
I was wondering where you were going with madness. Spring! duh. Here in the States the big annual college basketball tournament is known as March Madness and I have that stuck in my head right now.
ReplyDeleteJinksy . . you're our Olympic Gold MADalist!
ReplyDeleteI love this!!! Moral of the story? Birds and (Jelly) Beans shouldn't mix...makes for a bad morning after...LOL...Love your spring madness!! Wish mine were as gifted as yours!!! ~Janine XO
ReplyDeleteI am comfortable with this aspect of the muse. I suppose it is because I can chuckle and don't feel at all 'mad' ...
ReplyDeleteSpring Madness......jinsky you have created a whole new season with your witty poems. It did bring a smile to my face. I always leave here with a smile on face actually....:-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh dear Jinksy, have an aspirin ready, to keep you steady.
ReplyDelete'Can't help singing, Of the madness that April is bringing' (well, nearly). I'm with all you N. H. nuts in your Spring madness. I love nonsense rhymes. Aren't words wonderful!
ReplyDeleteP.S Not National Health! Northern Hemisphere!
Rinkly Rimes just added this in an email to me... Thank you BB!
ReplyDeleteA jelly-bean fell in a birdie's nest
Among the eggs of Spring.
And the birdie said, not being impressed,
'What's this queer little thing?'
Nevertheless, she sat on it,
Her instincts to the fore.
When the jelly-bean melted
She certainly felt it!
She won't do that any more!
We can stomach it; give us more, we're up for it.
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm only teasing you, don't you? with my accusations of OCRD?
ReplyDeleteThis is delightful!
one for a book Jinksy....
