Cris A went challenge-mad

Updated on November 14, 2009

I rise to the challenge, like a ship on a tidal wave

 Cris A decided to start some kind of challenge thread on the forums.  Quite a good idea, I thought, and I enjoyed reading all the silly challenges, other hubbers were cooking up for each other.  But then....my name appeared....I was challenged by that old codger, Ralwus.  He said, I must write a poem.  Oh Ralwus, you wiley rascal, here is my challenge poem! 

The challenge was set by a man called CC,

He expected me to fail miserably.

He said, “Write a poem!”

Oh, you cute little gnome,

Did you think that because of my large hips,

Words of poetry couldn’t escape from these lips?

Well, I accepted the challenge, never fear,

For the mistress of rhyme and poetry is here.

I can play with and twist a word or two,

You think I can’t, I’ll show you!

I’ll reach deep down inside my brain,

And catch a ride on that damn train,

Heading for the imagination station,

On the way collecting inspiration.

You think my writing fits in a box,

But this box has no locks.

It has no sides, it has no bottom, it has no lid,

The words flow, they fly, well I think they did.

And it’s what I think that really counts,

My words bounce!

So there, take that!

Next time you go to the forum and chew the fat,

Remember me –

Cindy

Cindy Vine, teacher, author, mother,

Do you hear me, my brother?

Fear, Phobias and Frozen Feet,

I served you up a little treat,

To teach you about the effects of abuse.

Read it, you have nothing to lose.

And then there’s a story of a girl like me

In Stop the world, I need to pee!

Hub-a-bub-bub

What a mix is in this tub?

I do declare for all who read this,

That writing poetry is a piece of piss,

So CC my dearest darling man,

Next time, a stronger challenge, if you can?
