Oh my word. This A to Z challenge is making me do things I never thought possible. Or necessary.
People, I wrote a poem.
Oh get up off the floor. It's not that big of a deal. It's just an acrostic. I'm not even rhyming or anything.
I shall dedicate my poem to my two boys who have the darndest time making it through a meal without literally falling out of their chairs. Turken will be sitting across from me when, mid-sentence, he simply disappears. Star has fallen out of his chair more times than Taylor Swift has fallen out of love. It really is ridiculous.
This acrostic is for them.
Gabbing with my family and
Relishing Mom's meal when
An invisible monster
Very handily
Isaac Newtons me
To the ground.
Youch.
Have a lovely day!
Ain't gravity awesome? The thangs it does to my nekkid body is astonishing!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo very true. But I would rather write a poem making fun of my kids than reminding myself of the ever-worsening droop.
DeleteI know I've said this before, and I'm certain I'll say it again...I love you. You make me laugh out loud. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I'm not the only one laughing about this. I have been cracking up the entire four days I've had to wait for this to go "live". Thank you, thank you, thank you for having the same sense of humor as me. Love you, too!
DeleteI can just picture it, kid disapears and every one sits there laughing. No worry I fell off a ladder once and when I looked up three faces were looking out of the window laughing away at my groning in pain.
ReplyDeleteIt must be human nature. As long as no one is hurt too badly, falls are just funny.
DeleteLove how you made "Isaac Newton" into a verb. It's definitely going to become new slang one day...;)
ReplyDeleteI'll be famous one way or another. If I have to make up words to do it, so be it. :)
DeleteSniffle, sniffle. Your poem touched my heart! Seriously, I loved it. That's what families are for... to pick us up even if they are laughing while doing it!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Thank you very much. :)
DeleteHow can you not laugh when someone falls out of his chair?
Love your sense of humor and the courage you have to play with your words!
ReplyDeleteLoved that you stepped out there with a poem! Great job.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I had fun with it, to be certain.
DeleteHahaha! I can always count on you for some support. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG. This cracked me up to no end.
ReplyDeleteJulia
I'm very glad.
DeleteLol! Co-incidentally I also picked out gravity for G! :P
ReplyDelete- Dishit from Only the Crazy Survive!!!
Of all the G words in the dictionary...
DeleteI'll be over to read it!
I love the picture punchline. x

... and your kids are gorgeous btw x
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
DeleteSo beautiful...
ReplyDelete*wipes a tear away*
Thank you. *takes a little bow* :)
DeleteHells yeah! *High Five* for non-rhyming poetry! Thankfully gravity doesn't affect me with an ill effect often; even when naked ;-)
ReplyDeleteJak at The Cryton Chronicles & Dreams in the Shade of Ink
Jak, Jak, Jak. While I will high five you for the poetry, I think it's a little too soon in our relationship to be discussing your nakedness. :)
DeleteHahahaha I fully agree! I was following suit with the first comment :) You may come to wish I had vanished!
DeleteHa! My short term memory is completely awful. I had already forgotten about her comment when I read yours.
DeleteYou SLAY me!!! Did I use that term correctly?!?! I may have not believed you had I not seen this phenomena happen first hand with a niece several years ago. Haahaa!
ReplyDeleteI think so. :)
DeleteYou mean this isn't a normal occurrence in all families???
That tickled me. Is he being coming or does he really just fall out? Too cute! TALU
ReplyDeleteNope, just falls out. And it cracks me up every time.
DeleteGreat job on the acrostic and what a cute story to tell. TALU
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI laughed so hard. This happens at our house too! TALU
ReplyDeleteI still laugh. Why do they fall? Why?
DeleteLove it, Coop! Fantastic job.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with the TALU!
Thanks!
