Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 642 (That Bridge)

The bridge had to be torn down-

For much wearing down had been found.

.

When the bridge was brand new-

For many years, much traffic it could acrue.

.

But, as time began to take its toll-

Action had to be taken that would be bold.

.

It had been repaired many times, but now

it required much more-

To demolish it, was in store.

.

A brand new bridge would now be conducted-

Over several months it would be constructed.

.

In the meantime, another route-

Would be taken by the bridge crossers

without a doubt.

.

The bridge had to be torn down-

For much wearing down had been found.

The Need-To Read # 314

The thought, to read fairytales
highlighted in snow-
Will surely, this month, continue
to grow.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 435 (Oh Fudge)

The Christmas fudge went first-
As soon as I saw it, I knew that I was cursed.

.
One piece after another-
The whole familiy, including the sister and the brother.
.
And, then we came to see-
The empty plate, that included the brownie.
.
Next went the candy-
One more piece, to eat, always came in handy.

.
And, as all of this was going on-
Not one piece, of the fruitcake, was gone.

.
A slice of leftover ham and turkey-
Was the next delight, to be.

.
Once more the fruitcake was out of touch-
For we knew that we didn’t like it very much.

.
After all of the other treats were done-
It looked like the fruitcake, alone, was the only one.

.
As we approached it, we began to shiver-
But, opted instead, to one small sliver.

.
And, before you knew it, we had eaten it all-
No one would admit it though, it wasn’t our call.

.
The next year as we ate a piece of fudge-
Away, from the fruitcake, we would not budge.

.
For it tasted pretty good even though it had a
bad reputation-
Like generations, before us, it is now a sensation.

.
The Christmas fudge went first-
As soon as I saw it, I knew that I was cursed.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # (02) Vincent Price Scares Us To The Max

Vincent Price scares us to the max-
The House of Wax.
.
To try and sit still-
House on Haunted Hill.
.
The nerves do hum-
The Pit and the Pendulum.
.
To hold your breath-
The Masque of the Red Death.
.
To sit in awe over and over again-
The Raven.
.
In your seat to stir-
The Tingler.
.
Oh, my gosh, how could that happen
and why?
The Fly.
.
More terror as it were-
The House of Usher.
.
Vincent Price scares us to the max-
The House of Wax.
