Jam and Maple Cream

They all sat around the table top,

And had a little wine.

Oh delight they all cried,

The wine does just fine.

On their heads they poured it quick,

Watching it soak in.

Maybe next, one man cried,

We can have a little gin?

Oh gin will do quite nice they said,

But do you know what will do better?

A touch of jam and maple cream,

With just a slice of fetta.

So off they hurried for spread and cheese,

Not knowing where it was.

Easily they heads were bumped

Sharp and loud it twas.

Oh dear my, my di die,

None knew what to do.

A light bulb came with a little flick,

And no longer was there rue.

So now they all said loud and clear,

That the spread and cheese was lost.

Sadly they all shook their heads,

They’d have to do a toss.

What be that? A small one cried,

Shivering with fun.

It’s where you speak small and slight,

But it has to be a pun.

Alas they all thought far and wide,

But no pun came to mind.

Oh never mind they gave up then,

There really is no time.

So no longer knowing what to do,

They went their separate ways.

Wine on heads bumps there too,

None thought about their daze.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

Any help appreciated. One thing I'm not sure about is if I should break it up into stanzas. Also I'm not too sure about what genre to put it in either. Thanks.

Loved this! The nonsense made me smile. My humble opinion is that it could do with some stanza breaks also, just as Neva Flores-Changeful said. But it's what you perceive as the way you want this read that is important.
When written without breaks it take on a faster paced feel and maybe that's good for this poem and that was your intention.
Whatever way, I enjoyed this very much. Thank you for sharing!

I would break it down into stanzas with the first break coming after Watching it soak in.........well written.

I shouldn't think this needed to be broken into stanzas. I'd put it in the genre "nonesense" Which it is, but very classy nonesense...
