More Poetry In Motion!

An annual event on April Fool’s Day is the joke I play on my 3 sons.  Maybe once, or likely, twice, I have fooled a son or two. The joke is so old now that no one is fooled. It all started out with me reporting that Ken and I were on the way to the San Francisco airport to pick up some toddler twins we had adopted. This year, I took to poetry:

“We want more!”

Cried our twins, aged four.

Whom we adore....

Hard to ignore!

So to avoid an uproar,

And for an encore,

We called Singapore.

And now, therefore,

To shock you furthermore,

And increase our rapport....

Who’s arrived at our door?

Ken Jr. and Eleanor!

That evening, to my delight, oldest son Craig Zeman, replied poetically 

You’ll have to excuse me,

For as you can see,

Star Wars released

A new DVD.
It’s Episode 8, Saga 3.

Luke Skywalker is in it

But not Two-One-Bee.

Although there’s no singing,

It has a few dances

R2 and Yoda and offscreen romances.

It’s Episode 8 and it’s been 40 years,

And Chewie still sits in the cockpit and steers.

An interjection -  I had been promoting to him a special I was just about to watch on TV - Jesus Christ Superstar (JCS)...and so, he continues.....

Does JCS Special contain any creatures?

No? Then I will be watching the DVD special features.

LOL, my attempt at Star War poetry is great,

But I won’t give away the ending of Episode 8.

I responded:

Ah your poetry is so fine

And unduly sublime.

You have inherited my wit, 

Yes, you are a hit!

Well done, Son.

What fun!

My poetry came alive

This morning at five.

And may your fun be great

With Episode 8!
