Rhymin' fool

I love to rhyme so if you call that "writing" then I'm there. I grew up reading the likes of Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein. Calef Brown is my current favorite poet. It's just fun reading. If I had kids I would read them funny poems. A favorite passtime is taking a current tune and changing the words, making it funny and keeping them in rhyme of course. I would love to one day write and illustrate a book of my own rhymes.

Here's one I haven't shared ...

"Chicken coop, chicken coop,
all the chickens on their stoop.
Can you smell the chicken poop?
It must be cleaning day.

Shoo shoo rooster, shoo shoo hen.
Go away, come back again.
We'll clean your coop the best we can.
More eggs then you can lay!"

I can usually take any sketch or doodle and create a poem about it. The drawing always comes first. It's fun for me but whether it's good or not is up to the professionals I guess.
