Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 862 (Santa Now And Way Back When)

I heard a noise-

Could it be the little girls and the little boys?

.

I knew that they had to be asleep-

I checked on them, there was not a peep.

.

I heard the noise again-

It reminded me of a noise, I had heard way

back when.

.

When I was a child, that same noise had come

into my head-

Probably Santa and his reindeer is what I had

said.

.

Of course, I quickly shut my eyes-

Did not look, did not want to give Santa a surprise.

.

So manybe as an adult, I can do the same-

To ignore that noise, and figure that Santa came.

.

Even though we tend to grow old-

The enlightenment, of children can still unfold.

.

As I closed my eyes, I knew that my dreams could

still come true-

Santa I’m going to sleep and you can do what it

is that you need to do.

.

I heard a noise-

Could it be the little girls and the little boys?

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 638 (Stop That Clock)

The alarm was set and ready to go-

But, what anguish it would cause me

well, I didn’t know.

.

I was supposed to take a nap, and that

is the reason it was set-

But other things got in the way, other

tasks had to be met.

.

The grandbaby needed a bath, and the

water was ran-

I checked the temp, with my bare hand.

.

And, as soon as the baby was in-

The alarm that I had previously set, began

to buzz over and over agan.

.

I had hoped that someone else had been

around-

So that we could quiet that awful shrill sound.

.

But as no one else was there, I continued the

bath, as I had planned-

With that noise in the background being fanned.

.

First it made a regular sound-

And, then alas, it was speed bound.

.

I don’t think I ever slept long enough-

To hear the following sounds that got

rather rough.

.

You’d have to be a bear in hibernation-

To make it through the ending sounds,

that were making a sensation.

.

I had recently changed the battery-

So, to the noise, there was no end, in sight, to see.

.

The baby probably had a shorter bath-

But gee, we had to end this wrath.

.

With grandbaby wrapped and snug in his

towel-

The first thing we did was to turn off that

noise that had gone foul.

.

The alarm was set and ready to go-

But, what anguish it would cause me,

well, I  didn’t know.

1. The noise is too loud.

 

2. The dishes rattle.

3. You can stand outside and actually see the faces of

    the passengers, inside the plane, as it goes by.

========================================

There’s more to see-

Than there ought to be.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 796 (Frog Time)

The frogs came out-

Even, in the midst, of a drought.

.

There wasn’t just one, it was like

a crowd-

And, oh, my goodness, they did

croak loud.

.

They generally like the rain-

But, there was none on the plain.

.

So, they came out anyway-

They just couldn’t wait another day.

.

To have the will, to make as much

noise, as they could-

In a bush, near a tree, in the wood.

.

The frogs came out-

Even, in the midst, of a drought.
