Saint Plither's Day

A unique holiday that few have had the experience of

 

Come all! It’s Saint Plither’s Day

So drop with a plop

The music plays loudly

It never will stop

 

Pies are all in a row

Shall we consume?

There’s strawberry, snozzberry

And strangely there’s plume

 

Kids all race around

For the games have begun

Balloons are launched in the air

Out is the sun

 

So many things we can do

Care for a drink?

We have coconut cola

And raspberry bink

 

Pudding is placed

On petunas, you see

The kids can win prizes

Of beetle or bee

 

Adults, they dance, for about

An hour or two

Then women throw glitter

And men, they squirt glue

 

Sometimes it may feel like

We’re stuck in first grade

Five year old kids -

Hey, come look what we’ve made!

 

Should we add macaroni?

Elbow or shell?

Do we say when we’re finished?

Or just ring a bell?

 

Streamers and bubbles

Fly by everywhere

There’s a fantastic, elastic

1000 set stair

 

We all build puzzles

There’s stacks all around

Rainbow shades of color

Like hay on the ground

 

We all grab a needle

And string from a ball

Pass the cranberries

Please, don’t eat them all

 

We put them all in a line

Onto the threads

So we can place them that’s somewhere

Above all our heads

 

They are to be placed

Upon a tree

A most wonderful specimen

You’ll ever see

 

The tree, solid black

And silver the balls

A brightly blued angel

Stands atop of it all

 

 We all place our favorites

 Right under the tree

 Chocolate and almonds

 And even our bree

 

 Then we release doves

 That fly in the air

 And point out who has of us

 The silliest hair

 

 A day of festivities

 You’re welcome to join in

 Everyone’s happy

 And everyone’s friends

 

 We all shall celebrate

 And bring of good cheer

 So show us your true self

 For all are welcome here

 

 Many things happen

 And it has come to pass

 We are above even

 The top of our class

 

Do not think this odd,

But I say, if you must

We all have a spirit

And passion we trust

 

Will not and cannot

Aren’t things we can say

So come, won’t you join us

On this Plither’s Day?

 

There’s laughing, cavorting

And snickering too

We have bagels and basil

And Didgeridoos

 

They will hit you on the head

Never you fear

Your head will get used to it

After 1 year

 

Do you have a favorite snack?

Throw it right in

Grab your umbrella

It’s time for a spin

 

The confection wheel spirals

Almost out of control

If you win, simply grin,

For that’s how the game goes

 

And if you lose, just for you

Keep this in mind

A swiss roll’s not losing -

We all get a prize

 

So saddle up piglets

And mittens on hands

It’s time for the starting

Of fusional bands

 

So many instruments meshing away

Can you hear them all?

Of course you do,

Of course I do say

 

Penguins on t-shirts

And cats on our shoes

We wear camo stockings

And suspenders too

 

Some have a top hat

And some have a crown

We all wear shorts or pants

Or even a gown

 

So come, won’t you join us?

There’s so much to explore

I bet you’ve never had fun

Quite like this way before

 

Create a new word

And define on a hunch

Then all take a short nap

And break before lunch

 

Then when the night ends

We all shall reflect

As fireworks explode

And we count every speck

 

Of color that shows up

In the night sky

The day has now ended

It’s time for goodbye

 

So I bid you farewell

At least, until next year comes around

Time to groom a mole

That’s popped out of the ground

 

This is all due to Plither

A great one indeed

So I shall leave you all

With the legend to read

 

Plither’s a plover, once plonker you see

Who plunked with the plankers and ploukers of E

Plithers stopped plunder and then just like that

Plithers said plopper all and put on a hat

Danced around merrily, and in the end

Invited us here, now we’re all friends of a friend

 

This is the legend

Of our little town

Where we always are happy

And don’t wear a frown

Saint Plither's Day sounds pretty epic! Fantastic story telling. Very descriptive and creative with a fluid flow.
