[Texas Lighthouse at Point Bolivar]
October
October is a cow, a female cow
She will moo for you and make you a shake
You have no choice but for you to rejoice
October is a pig, big old spoiled boar
He won't pay you never mind so you think
Walk past him quickly, he is gonna grunt
October is a baby chick, come quick
see how fast it learns, today tries to crow
Tomorrow it is to scratch, dig for worm
October is all the pets on my farm
Donkey Don, Billy goat, Cilly sheep, Shep
I've named them all, won't bore you with no more
Well except just one more, my favorite
October is my trusty horse, my love
Harley cares for me, nuzzles and gives me rides

Bonus fact, the only truth here, my birthday is in October, near Halloween
Very well done Jim. I loved the ending.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
Do you really have a Harley? I don't think you live on a farm, but perhaps you really do have a bike. If so, be careful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my dreams&poetry blog recently (well, almost recently ... sorry to take a while to respond...). I really enjoyed this poem. And I have a fondness for motorcycles (real ones, as I call them, hogs and Harleys, that is, not those fake little ones :-D). A birthday near Halloween, what fun! Do you costume up? My costume this year is "Iris, Goddess of the Rainbow." I think it makes a nice contrast to last year's which was a witch with a spectacular purple hat with lots of veils.

That'll be nice Dr Jim! It cares because we care!

Fun blog, I enjoyed perusing. Good thing I had eaten a chocolate bar, all that food would have made me hungry.

ReplyDeleteThat hog at the end is definitely the best animal on the farm.
ReplyDeleteThat last creature was a rather strange farm animal, but definitely the stuff of a boy's dreams, so it made me smile! :-)
