MK Get-together

*Yawn* Oh my goodness-
Is it 4:00 already?
Everything is fuzzy,
My head just feels so heavy…

Laughing till you drop
Oh! Will the jokes never stop!
Blondes, men and mermaids…
How do you kill a mop?

Popcorn-in-the-cup duels
Ice down your back-
Deep turqoise seas-
What more do we lack?

Getting lost in the city
Singing your heart out
Dancing to numa in the backseat
The spare and the stout.

A foot laceration
Pictured Daza or Housa?
A moment of silence
An ode for dear Anna

A wallet a charger,
What have I lost now?
Pictures galore-
Phil Keggy takes a bow.

Adorable little admirers
Brownies, motors, and more!
Splitting wood, raking leaves-
Ah, what fun galore!!!

Do you like my music?
Can you play hearts?
Requirements for marriage?
Can you sing in parts?

Shall we pray for meals?
A ferocious pillow fight-
Firstborn or later kid?
Talking, debating away the night

The Westminster Confession-
Christmas or no?
Skipping away to see The Wizard-
Is it cold enough to snow?

Pitpit or amaccan?
Pronunciation is the key!!
Peanut butter specials
Are great, if you ask me.

Mucking out horse stalls
Opening doors for girls-
Casting Crowns, or Jars of Clay?
Liquid ‘brown’ eyes and smooth curls.

Walking, walking around the block
Seeing Christmas lights and more-
Falling, tripping, pinchy skates,
Ice skating has made me so sore!!!!

Seeing people for the first time
Me didn’t play Mafia, but even so
I loved my MK gathering-
I just wanted you to know.

Notes:
(a)I tried to get all my favorite mamories in, and get everyone laughing and have a special line or two for each person. If you have something else I forgot comment and I'll work in more stanzas.
(b) I finally got in Penut Butter...I was having such trouble, until I fell asleep. I woke up at 7 AM and a vwhole verse came to me. I memorised it, and fell back to sleep.
(c) this is not entirely my own poem....my *ehem* older sister had very much to do with the current layout, at least 4 extra stanzas, and some revision of words.
(d) anything else I forgot to mention----
(e) comment, comment, comment!! (I want to know what you guys think!)

there are so many things I don't get :(. I really missed a lot those days when the Walters were with y'all. I like that you worked in opening doors for girls. was there ever actually a discussion about it or was it something you just noticed? I was very impressed with wings' and milz' breeding :D. and I like Daza v. Hausa--wings: "he's DAZA! for GOODNESS' SAKE!"

and I have an issue with line one of stanza 5--we never determined if it was a laceration or a puncture. plus, you've gotta say something about the blood-encrusted sock.

the newly-certified EMT decided it was a laceration!!! so there. :p

oh, and all the blood came out when i washed the sock, so now it just has a little hole in it. :) the skate on the other hand... :(

No specific talk about opening doors, but the boys did do very well!! I just thought that thier hard work should be mentioned.

I thought that I had enough about the ice skating...and I also missed getting in something about 'super high-quality' but it wouldn't rhyme very well....>(

opening doors is not such hard work though :)

hehe, I would have liked to been there when I imagine Dan was using the term "super-high-quality" :D

Rachel said...

don't make fun of him. it was a great story. though you could have worked "top of the apple tree" in ;)

it IS a great story, thats precisely why I would have liked to be there, not to make fun of him

J. K. Walters said...

Very good.

the "lovely, lovely! :):)" was mine, as was the "opening doors is not..." and the "where do all my comments go!? I thought..." one. hm...
