Easter Bonnet Sonnet

I have forgotten my Easter bonnet...
well... I've forgotten to buy one that is
Next year! I promise that I'll be on it!
I promise and that's no funny business!

Wait... how is this different than last year?
For I did not buy one back then either
I promised that this year I'd be sincere
but again I'm the underachiever

Why wear an Easter bonnet anyway?
and for that matter, why wear fancy hats?
Sure, they'd be great to hide a bad hair day
are there advantages other than that?

Rather than seem to be the neglecter,
I'll be a conscientious objecter!

The Trivial Pursuit of Drunkenness

The Trivial Pursuit of Drunkenness
is the only drinking game that I play.
It makes so much fun and not a big mess;
you'd think it fun too I should like to say.

Each question you answer incorrectly
is a sip of your drink that you must take,
but with each new sip you begin to be
slightly more likely to make a mistake.

At the end there emerges a winner:
the first to collect all six wedge pieces
then roll the die and land on the center
and answer as another polices.

One thing about this that you'll soon learn:
only a wrong answer will end your turn.

Warm and Sunny

Today it is warm and sunny outside
what a nice change from the weather we've had!
The temperature mad me run and hide,
but today it does not feel quite so bad.

Today would be a great day to frolic
and bask in what finally feels like spring.
Everyone can be a sun-o-holic
when this warmth is all that the outdoors bring.

I hope that days like this are not fleeting.
This winter has overstayed its welcome
for in late March, it should not be sleeting,
and people should not need to stay at home.

Rather than worry about days ahead,
I'll use time to enjoy this day instead!

Spring Break Part 2

Today my second spring break has begun
My morning job is closed for a whole week
I could use the time to bask in the sun,
But I think that I'll just catch up on sleep

Next week I will watch a pair of children
While they're on a break but their mother's not
I'll go to their house each morning near ten
And we'll start to have some fun on the spot

I've come up with so many ideas
For fun child friendly activities
Perhaps we can run after some cheetahs
Or maybe just sit and watch some tv

All I can promise is we will have fun
And laughs will be had when the day is done

Open

Unexpectedly, my week is open;
all of my commitments have disappeared.
Nothing 'til Friday night, and even then
it's just a shift at work, nothing to fear!

I think of the great opportunities:
There are things to do, and places to go.
I look at the choices in front of me,
and which one to pick, I simply don't know.

I think of the things that I need to start;
things that have been sitting undone for weeks.
Perhaps I should look deep into my heart,
or try some things until one of them speaks.

Alas, why must it so often be true;
when I have time, I find nothing to do.

Euphoria

The side effects listed "Euphoria"
but I am afraid I misunderstood
I had visions of singing "Gloria!"
How could this be something other than good?

Yet now I have realized how wrong I was;
only a fall can follow such a rise.
I am happy and feel almost a buzz,
only for tears to soon fall from my eyes.

For this "euphoria" seems to attach me
To a certain idea or something,
but if that idea comes not to be,
I know that I'll soon find myself crying.

I feel that I'm prone to overreact,
but I guess I'll just have to face that fact...

Frownies

I have discovered Fiber One brownies;
I thought them to be a no guilt dessert.
A sweet with just smileys and no frownies,
I knew not how soon I would learn to hurt.

The first brownie was a midmorning snack,
and the second I ate later with lunch,
but my diet in fiber does not lack,
but I added more with each brownie's munch.

In one day I ate a total of three,
and shortly my stomach felt uneasy.
I worried! Oh what would happen to me?
the delicious brownies made me queasy.

But luckily, I am able to say
that in the end it all came out ok.

Hopping Pains

I have developed a newfound respect
for those who must wear costumes all day long.
I thought it looked hard, but did not expect
that these brave characters must be so strong.

Saturday morning I put on a suit,
so I'd look like a big fluffy bunny.
All of the children thought that I was cute,
and they thought that my dance moves were funny.

Underneath I wore shorts and a tank top
with the hopes that I would not overheat.
Up and down and around the room I hopped
and soon I was soaked with sweat to my feet.

Still this morning, I ached from the hopping,
but I'd do it again without stopping.

Pony Adventure

Tonight I babysat a little girl;
of My Little Pony she was a fan.
Together we ventured into their world
as our fun, newfound venture began.

I asked her what she knew about the show,
and soon and in no shortage of detail,
she told the plot of the first episode
down to the color of each mane and tail.

And before I knew, she revealed to me
her impressive, vast, pony collection.
Then we acted out the ponies' journey
and we both smiled with great affection.

Tonight was the first time that I have said
that I was sad to put a child to bed.

What Have I Gotten Myself Into

Oh what have I gotten myself into?
Why am I so eager to volunteer?
On tuesday I know what I'll have to do
yet I know here's the fun in my career.

I have agreed to play a large rabbit.
The easter bunny to be specific
I do not hope to make this a habit,
but in the part I will be terrific.

And so, on Tuesday, I will proudly don
a full body suit of fluffy white fur.
A head, mitts, and spats, I'll also put on;
in this outfit I'm sure to have allure.

I act like I'm nervous, but must admit
that I am excited a little bit...
