A ruckus in the closet
Awakened me in the night.
Skeletons of my ancestors
Having a physical fight.
Don't tell anybody we're here,
One of them to me did say,
We don't want any cousins
To remember us that way.
They're sure to get offended
If they knew we weren't pure,
And then they'd be ashamed
From now till ever more.
Then stop your silly fighting,
I said to them at last.
You should forgive each other,
And put it all in the past.
I cannot tell who you are;
You haven't got any skin.
And since you're now both dead,
There's no way for you to win!
The arena of the beginning is fantastic. I wish to quote here, let it be.. .. A ruckus in the closet Awakened me in the night. Skeletons of my ancestors Having a physical fight. This is really a beautiful poem on ancestors having stunning expression with humorous diction. Thank u dear Spock sir for wisely composed and sharing. Full vote.
A very fun poem, with good meter and rhyme. One of your very best so far, in my opinion.
Thanks, Kim. I'm glad you see the humor in it. Now if another idea would come...
Ah, Spock, very clever and well written! You made me smile! Your meter and rhymes are good and, of course, your logic, too. Well done.
