This may be the silliest poem I ever wrote. It is what happens when you discover an overlooked prompt at 3:42 in the morning!!!
Word from Your Mentors
When you are a bad boy, we are going to have to boo ya,
and when you make no sense at all, we’re gonna ballyhoo ya.
When you are confused, we will for sure be trying to clue ya
in on what is happening, and then we’ll have to queue ya
up for music lessons where we’ll one ya and we’ll two ya,
making you so musical the girls will want to woo ya,
and all the other boys in town will really want to sue ya
‘cuz all the girls that turn their heads only want to do ya!
But never mind those other guys who hiss at and eschew ya.
As you walk down the aisle, we will shout out hallelujah,
for though the other guys may pine over your bride and rue ya,
seeing you in wedded bliss, the rest of us say, “Hooyah!!!”
Ragtag gave a bonus prompt yesterday and since I find myself awake at 3:42 a.m. with nothing better to do, I guess I’ll play along. The word is Hooyah!
Would I love to sit down with you and have my funny bone exercised to the maximum. What a gift you have, and I thank God I get to witness it daily. Take care and be free to be the wonder that you are. Regina

Fabulous!! Who’d ever have thought that “do ya” and “aleluya” would ever be used together to rhyme 🙂

Never underestimate the powers of a poet desperate for one last rhyming word.
