Music That Lasts

This poem is arranged in ABC order with every two lines rhyming.


















Apple falling from the big green tree
Butterflies floating quiet and free
Cats prowling ready to capture

Dogs howling lost in their rapture
Elephants trumpeting a warning sound
Fluffy lambs frolicking around

Goats, and geese, and big fat frogs
Hand held buzz saws cutting logs
Indiscrete words drawing a crowd

Jumping rope shouting out loud
Kisses by the weeping willow
Lost love crying on the pillow

Mom hollering, “It’s time to eat!”
Neighbors playing in the street
Operas preforming across the land

Pineapples served to the Hawaian band
Quiet prayers late at night
Rollicking fireworks bursting bright

Snakes slithering through the grass
Trucks running out of gas
Unicorns traveling in my dreams

Velcro ripping at the seams
Wishing for the music to last
X, Y, Z, it's going too fast.
