One for fun

Every once in a while
My little honey,
I want to make you smile
By just being funny.

When you start seeing double
Be sure that you are in trouble.
They said you can’t cause you’re not smart
But I said yes, yes, for it is in my heart.

We will take a trip to the moon
Very very soon.
This little butterfly will take us on his wing
For he wants to hear me sing.

Now that is a joke
For silly folk
To think that I could sing
Would be to take a wild fling.

This one may not be very good
For I just stood
And waited for a little bird
To come by and give me a word.

I will make you laugh
Or cut the apple in half.
See, then that is double pie
And I do not lie.

Some can draw and some can paint.
But for me that would make me faint.
I just stand and wait
At the apple gate

To see what will come sailing by
And then I will try
To take the jumble tumble
And not let it fumble

Till a poem is born
And it is not a thorn
In my mind that I cannot sing, draw or paint well
But the poem gives me wings that I can sail

To the moon and back in record time
and that satisfies this mind of mine.
So until next time
This is all I could find.
