Forgotten

Sitting by each other

Side by side

Waiting

Waiting

Ever so quietly

Glazed over eyes

Peering the window

Waiting together

Waiting as one

“Patience,” he said to me

“Patience”

Smiles, slowly turning dull

Patience, slowly growing thin

Waiting

Waiting

Ever so silently

Wishes

Hopes

Fading

Fading

“Patience,” he said to me

“Patience”

Our seams, starting to tear

Our fur, starting to wear

“Forgotten,” I say

Forgotten.

Shrooms

There once was a maiden named Snow

Who wanted to make herself grow

So in went a shroom

That was in full bloom

But all it did was make her glow

Rhythm and Rhyme

Rhythm and rhyme?!

There’s no way I’d have time!

And only for a dime?!

Now that is just a crime!

It’d take way too much time

To make something sublime...

I could only make grime,

So please don’t make me rhyme!
