Folly

Oh do not MOURN
The random words
The words most absurd
Celebrate the JOIST,
Sturdy and strong
Cheer the WOOLY beast,
And bring him along
Serendipity, yes
FOLLY, perhaps
Opportunity, most definitely.

He twirled and twitched,
as if he were a bird of paradise
preparing for the mating ritual
a large bobbling sort of CREST
attached to his typically BLANK head, bald as it were.
It’d been years since we’d been quite so JOLLY.
With bright pink cheeks
and gingham pinafore
I became the quintessential DOLLY
We laughed ourselves to tears,
catching our breath only to start again.
Oh gosh, oh GOLLY
So long a time had passed
without silliness,
We’d nearly forgotten FOLLY
