Buster Brown

feeling silly-ever have one of these days?

Buster Brown barely built his bed

-by hitting the hammer upside his head.

His screwdriver sideways, now stuck in the screw

wishing Wally was here-he’d know what to do.

 

But, Buster banged, screwed and he bled

foolishly following what the instructions said.

 

Finally finished-all full of pride

he hopped on the bed to go for a ride.

He fumbled and tumbled-bruises galore

mumbling and moaning he couldn’t take anymore.

 

 

Buster packed up his stuff and returned to the store

proudly proclaiming he’d sleep on the floor!

I love this April, ive read before and felt the humor, while laughing at myself (I can totally relate, so hopeless with flat packs;) but this time I reread wondering what you had changed and got to hear your humor in the way it was said :)

you have so many different styles and im yet to find fault in a single one...

I should feel frustrated! but im simply left inspired

thank you April for sharing :)

You are too sweet, thank you. Just wanted to express the playfulness in which it was written. I am glad that you came back to check it out, and that you enjoyed it... ((Hugs))

Lol.. Seems like a nursery rhyme :)... Again, this one made me giggle.. Good job :P

[AprilRN1210]

attack of the silly mood.. you survived.. ha!.... thank you.. tickled you enjoyed it.. :)

[Beccy]

I'm going to post a poem 'Hole in the wall,' I bet you'll enjoy. -:)

[AprilRN1210]

I will make sure to check it out! :)

The problem with most men is that they generally think they know better. My dad is is a classic example of 'stuff the instructions,' whilst my mum just stands by and watches in wry amusement.

Much enjoyed.

Beccy.

[AprilRN1210]

Indeed they do.. wry amusement is about all you can do in this instance.. it is worth a few stifled giggles as they continue on in frustration... I am glad you enjoyed this playful take on an all too common occurrence... thank you for another lovely review.. :)

Be silly, be wild, run with your thoughts and this is the result - please, do that more.

Seriously, you don't give yourself enough credit, if you ask me of course.

[AprilRN1210]

Thank you again! You really are too kind, but I appreciate it!

[Wynter Ignatius]

No such thing as too kind between friends

[AprilRN1210]

was feeling silly that day... also had struggled with trying to "put together" a bookshelf.. who the heck writes those confusing instructions anyway, jeez....

[Sunya]

those coma's just make me feel like 'oh sweet sarcasm' :D
Oh the bookshelf was the moment for this poem? :p did you also return the shelf and decided to stack the books somewhere else ;) hehe

[AprilRN1210]

I love it! The reading really makes it come alive. Great idea. I hadn't noticed that on your other one.

This was cute and sweet too, as well as funny.

Thank you E... I am glad I could make you giggle and that you enjoyed my silly side... :)

The Southern Sass can write humor too. I read this once before listening, and got a good chuckle out of it, it reads like something I would have read to the kids. I then listened to your recording, and listening to you trying to refine from giggling made it all the more enjoyable. Thanks.

[AprilRN1210]

well, howdy Doc..... yep.. I have a silly, playful side as well, thank you very much!! so nah!!!

I am tickled that you enjoyed and it was hard as heck not to laugh in a few places.. almost lost it there at the end... I appreciate the read and review.. thanks for listening.. :)

[Jack Wolfe]

A little bit of sass and a little bit of silly works well together. you pulled this off nicely, the silly side should come out to play more often:)

[AprilRN1210]

hey! it ate my words... that wasn't nice.. sass and silly works together huh.. I might just have to let it come out and play more often then.. thanks.. glad you liked it.. :)

[Woody]
