Silly Billy

A poem about a guy in search of a girl. This is for a contest whereby only words with no more than five letters may be used.

Silly Billy

 

Silly Billy rode to town

on his tiny pony

for a girl whom he may crown

as his one and only.

 

Round and round and up and down,

every girl was phony.

When they saw him they would frown,

none would be his crony

 

till he met this funny clown

who was thin and bony.

She had a charm that could drown

his world that was stony.

Thanks for your review, paul! Rollicky like a joy ride on the tiny pony merry-go-round at the amusement park; round and round and up and down.

I remember reading a poem about "Silly Billy" from a pasta inspired poet friend of mine. It must be a thing from "across the pond".
Fun read and I agree with Ricochet about reading this to a tune.

[Aethereal]

Thanks for your review, David! I think it was those from "across the pond" who wrote the original tune.

I read it to the tune of 'Yankee Doodle." The first stanza sets it up. Fun poem

[Aethereal]

Thanks for your review! "Yankee Doodle" was what I had in mind when I wrote it. I'm always writing fun poems mixed with the serious ones for comic relief.
