Put your ditties here.
This is one of mine. It's called Ice Cream.
Ice cream,
Nice cream!
Here's a longer one. You might need to get yourself a cup of tea and a biscuit if you're going to read it right through to the end.
The thing I like
About ice cream
Is that it's such
Very nice cream
I do sometimes write about things that aren't ice cream, but not very often. Few other things are such nice cream.
What about you? I don't mean how nice cream are you, I mean what do you like to write short poems about?

Things I'd Rather Not Be, by Skunk
I'd rather be Skunk
Than a monk
Or a punk
Or a lunk
Or any of that junk.
If it's all the same to you,
I'll just keep being Skunk.
Was that too long? I got a bit carried away by my subject.

Some Religious ones.
Jesus?
He’s us.
Go, disbelief! God is belief.
Go discover that God is cover.
Go disclose that God is close.
Go, dare hope. You and God are hope.

My cat she hates
when I step on her tail,
but she loves it
when I make a sale.

As short as I have ever gotten lol
A Girl's Note From God
She looks into the scribbled note,
as a tight fisted secret
"You are a woman now." coagulates.
(School marker red on ledger paper white)
She pours, folding up her love letter
from God, throwing it away.
Because humanity has taught her it is not ladylike
to pass notes to the rest of the class.

A Girl's Reply to God
Dear God, I thank you for your letter,
Yes, our Mum is feeling better
And, if I might have a wish,
The boy in front is quite a dish.

Never say never,

Always say cheese,

His rhymes are deemed atrocious.
But just been sold for lots of bread
