Welcome to Cozy Poetry Corner by Debra A Winter (Richter)

“Crazy Muse is Doing it Again!”

Jack be nibble, Jack be quick;

Jack accidentally sat on his candlestick.

It stuck to him where he couldn’t reach;

And boy, did Jack let out a screech.

Then the cow jumped over the moon,

He tripped then fell on Jack’s balloon.

Scaring Sally, the chicken, so bad she laid her egg;

Cow rolled on her; she squawked, “Get off, you’re breaking my leg!”

Along came Little Miss Muffet, out of her shell;

She cried to Jack, “Boy Jack, you sure do smell!”

My candlestick charred my little butt —

Miss Muffet, pull hard and got it unstuck!

Finally, the candlestick popped free from Jack.

Cow got off Chicken; she gave him a smack.

Her egg hatched oddly — stripped black and white;

Then everyone laughed… she started to fight.

Now everyone fought – not knowing why;

Soon whimpers rose and laughter began to fly.

My dinner awaits, my dear friendly friends —

And this is how this silly poem ends.
