Roses are red,
violets are blue
Sugar is sweet
and so are you


I have more poems I will put here but I have to find them first

[bmarquis124]

haha that one's a classic

[bmarquis124]

here is one of mine....

Snow falling and night falling fast, oh, fast
In a field I looked into going past,
And the ground almost covered smooth in snow,
But a few weeds and stubble showing last.

The woods around it have it--it is theirs.
All animals are smothered in their lairs.
I am too absent-spirited to count;
The loneliness includes me unawares.

And lonely as it is that loneliness
Will be more lonely ere it will be less--
A blanker whiteness of benighted snow
With no expression, nothing to express.

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces
Between stars--on stars where no human race is.
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places.
-Robert Frost

Eletelephony
by Laura E. Richards

Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant-
No! No! I mean an elephone,
Who tried to use the telephone-
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I've got it right!)

Howe'er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk;
The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee-
(I fear I'd better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong!)

You'll have to excuse the poor foreigner for her ignorance but what does ROTFL mean? ( I always tell my students Americans love their abbreviations and I think I've never uttered a truer sentence...)
