Hey mister, you're a freak

Nonesense...the sequel

 

Hey mister, you’re a freak

 

 

I gave my son a wagon

and boy he had such fun

Until I came to realize

I did not have son

 

I asked about his mother,

he said they called her Stan

yes, she was a woman

had a name just like a man

 

And then he said, hey mister,

with comets in your hair

Do you have a sister,

and could her name be Claire?

 

I said, I don’t remember,

what difference does it make?

Ask me in December

That I just can't fake

 

He looked up at me funny

A squint had found his eyes

Today was kind of sunny

Oh what  pack of lies

 

Well now I must be going

Although I’d like to stay

Albino crows were crowing

The time had come to play

 

He thanked me for the wagon

and rolled off down the lane

I think to fight a dragon

I just can not explain

 

When then I heard him sighing

while tiny wheels did squeak

He whispered, no denying

hey mister, you’re a freak

It sad when children grow up and forget about those good times shared, and they an attitude that doesn't reflect that sweet mood.

Thanks Josie. Just having some fun.

"He looked up at me funny

Really fun poem, you have a great rhythm that's very easy to read and fantastic imagery. I love the concept of the boy wandering off to fight a dragon.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much. I was just having a little fun.

[s y e]

Ha, hold on until I laugh, wipe my tears then reapply my makeup. ;-) This made me laugh so much Jack. I don't think you're a freak... maybe crazy. Ok, a little bit freakishly weird. ;-)

Loved this, cute kid.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much my friend. I am happy found the fun in this.

[David Scott]

Now this is looking the gift horse in the mouth. Ha.
Fun rhyme here Jack. I like "albino crows". Very creative. Inventive imagination at play here.

[Jack...]

Thanks my friend. Just having a bit of fun.

Funny write with a bit of subtle psychological satire. I know this guy. The individual who tells tall tales in an attempt to bond with people. He depends on others to nod and go along with it for politeness sake, but children tell it like it its. Great one, Jack.

[Jack...]

Thanks Pryde. Well you got more out of it than I did, I was just writing some nonsense, praticing rhyming. I do appreciate your view on this...I guess you just never know.

[Frieda P]

I thought I left a review for this one already, still wanna know how the fook you get comets in yer hair. ;) I concur, you're a freak Jack, that kid got it right, but apparently he hasn't read your poetry since that makes up for it in leaps and bounds.

[Jack...]

He said he would only read my poetry if it was in comic book form...stinking brat kid.

Thanks so much my friend. I am happy you had some fun with this one.

[Frieda P]

That still doesn't explain the comets. ;-P

[Jack...]

Maybe because reading your beautiful poetry always puts my mind in orbit somewhere out in the universe.

[Frieda P]

Ooooh you're such a charmer dear poetic Jack. ;-)

[Lover Of Words]

This is very interesting Jack i like it

[Jack...]

Thank you so much.

[Vidya Bacchus]

[Jack...]
