Bit ‘O Whimsy

•

One misty moisty morning
The mist was most prevailing
And then it started storming
On that misty moisty morning

It came up without a warning
hailstones began to hailing
And I missed the morning mailing
On that misty moisty morn

Though I mostly miss the morning mail
That morn I felt mostly forlorn
I had to catch the mail that morn
But by 10 minutes I was trailing

So I began to flailing
Down the lane my feet were sailing
But the mailman was ailing
And hadn’t made his morning mail

So on that misty moisty morning
In a storm that had no warning
When I should have been emailing
My mail and me got mostly soaked

    1. Thank you Viv, and now I am hearing the Twilight Zone theme playing, anticipating Rod Serling’s voice… that is uncanny we both hit on late mailmen — although the pieces are quite different! What is Thursday poet rally?

  1. This post lends itself to whimsy – so grateful you went there so fully.

    LOVE this word combination:

    >> Though I mostly miss the morning mail

  2. I love me some whimsey! Well-done fun.

    I’m very much enjoying your blog, as well as some others that were introduced to me today via the Island. Thank you, Rob, for this opportunity, and for visiting Walt Wojtanik and me “Across the Lake.”
