Rhyme Time

by Ingrid Prohaska, the odd one

I read an article in the NY Times

about some lost and missing rhymes

This was a very interesting read

on the peaks of my ears I felt red heat.

I looked around

where could they be hidden

I heard a sound

out of the shell midden

I even rolled the dices

to get some odd advices

I looked under the table

and found a cable

I looked under the chair

and found a silver hair

I looked under the locker

and found, oh no - Joe Cocker

I looked behind a framed picture

and found some kind of art mixture

I looked under the carpet

and found a dusty muppet

I even looked into the pan

but there I found not even a spam

Then I looked into the book of faces

but there I found just empty spaces

Finally I had a look

into my very dear notebook

There I discovered some phrases

you can imagine my praises

Now I'm near to the end of this lore

although I'm sure I could find much more

I found some fun and a very shy smile

which I'm sure will join me a while

Instead of my ear's red heat

I feel now the rhythm of my heart beat

There is just one more I'd like to say

I wish you a very fine Sunday
