The Daily Poem

BOUNCING EASY STREET

Banana peels & egg shells trampoline,

I can't believe I'm bouncing up so high,

All hovercraft & flying submarine,

   Above this easy street.

Impervious to pain my tambourine

Beats out its steady trick of gold supply

In finger-counted island lady green.

Come home my dearest lovely, you and I

Will manage up our newly tuned routine,

And rise like dough on marble-countered sky

   Above this easy street.

a Roundel for Mimi

GO OUT AND PLAY

Go out and play before it’s time for bed,

You’ve been inside for far too long today.

Turn off the Spider Fight inside your head;

   Go out and play!

Your fingers are so quick to catch your prey,

Your thumb can spin a thousand spiders dead

In one fell swoop inside your web display,

But here on earth no foe will cringe with dread,

No Frisbee falcon fly, no squirt gun spray

Unless you capture fire-breathing Fred;

   Go out and play!

~ D. Edgar Lamp (Roundel)
