I just read the cushions poems to mum, and before I knew it, she was off making up her own poem, without even realising.
Cushions: Mum's response
Some of my cushions
Are decorative,
Like on my bed.
And I've always got one
On my rocking chair.
I think it's because
It would look lonely
Without one.
Some of my cushions
Are silky and slippy,
Which can be quite
Annoying.
But I wouldn't be without them.
They're just always there,
Aren't they?
I can't sit without one,
Have you noticed,
I've always got one?
Not on my tummy,
But here,
By my side.

By the way, what mum actually said is, 'Some of my poems are decorative.' I assumed she meant cushions, but it's quite nice to think she was talking about poems the whole way through.
We truly are the most out-there couple that ever there was. And the fact that your Mum joins in with our poem writing games proves it.
ReplyDeleteI love both your poems. But I shall continue to write intentionally amusing verse despite your misgivings. So ner.
