Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 950 (To Fool For The Day)

We used to get the ketchup out-

To do a pretend cut, without a doubt.

.

And, we’d make up stuff-

To make a moment rough.

.

We would tell a quick lie or two-

Just to get by, just to get through.

.

To shock someone with a very strange tale-

For April Fools Day, without fail.

.

Better than a trick or treat-

To make someone drop their jaw, to jump

out of their seat.

.

We used to get the ketchup out-

To do a pretend cut, without a doubt.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 934 (Grandmother!!!!!!!!!!)

Grandmother always talks nice-

To talk in foul language, she would think twice.

.

For it is not her natural way-

To utter, that stuff, on any given day.

.

But, stick her in the midst of traffic-

And, a few surprises, one might get.

.

The kind, of language that can be heard-

Didn’t even know that Grandmother knew that word.

.,

Never, ever, did we ever dream-

Oh, well, guess Grandmother is just blowing off steam.

.

Grandmother always talks nice-

To talk in foul language, she would think twice.

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.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 742 (St. Patrick’s Day)

As a child, I always looked forward to St. Patrick’s Day-
Especially as the parades and the celebrations got underway.
.
But the best part of the holiday scene-
Was catching someone at school, not wearing green.
.
The majority of us prepared ourselves at least a day ahead-
Because not wearing green could turn into quite a dread.
.
Getting pinched was not something to look forward to-
So to avoid the issue, we’d do whatever we had to do.
.
Whether it be wearing a green shirt-
Or green earrings, or a green skirt.
.
Or a green necklace, or a green ring-
Basically we could get by with just about anything.
.
But if one wanted to use their green eyes, it was a cinch-
That it didn’t count and it would lead to that dreaded pinch.
.
St. Patrick, may have driven the snakes away-
But if you weren’t wearing green, it would not be your lucky day.
.
Of course until I got grown, I always wanted to travel over that rainbow-
To find the pot of gold at the end of it, a story that we all well know.
.
May we all have the luck of the Irish, as our rivers flow green-
Amongst the shamrocks, green ale, leprechauns, and corn beef sandwiches
that will be heavily seen.

.

As a child, I always looked forward to St. Patrick’s Day-
Especially as the parades and the celebrations got underway.
