Faster than a speeding bullet, able to leap over tall buildings in a single bound, look up in the sky-it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s THEME THURSDAY! (Less like Superman, more like SuperGrover, but we’re cool with that.) This week’s topic was to write an acrostic poem. The Sadder But Wiser Girl is not responsible for eyes bleeding from the awfulness of the following post. Please direct all complaints to Lucy at My Life as Lucille…
So we’re supposed to do an acrostic poem. All I could think of was the theme song to the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. “M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E”.
Oh come on, you did it too.
It has been awhile since I brought out some of my special bad poetry. Jenn, you asked for it. Here is my epically bad poem about parenthood. I’d like my award to be something shiny, please.
P is for poop, sometimes as far as the eye can see.
A is aggravation of your father and me
R is for running, all the runs to town I must make
E is for the extra clothes I must take
N is for needing everything asap
T is the toys I step over carefully
I is for icky that comes from your nose
N is for “nos”, for you hear enough of those
G is for goodness gracious what have I done, for I can’t imagine not having all of this fun.
Now, let’s never speak of this again…
Don’t hesitate to go read all of the other poetry that I’m sure far outdoes mine in coolness by clicking here.
Super Grover is FAR superior to Superman!
hahahaha, awesome! You totally nailed parenthood right there sister!! And I agree, Super Grove is pretty spectacular.
Loved it Sarah and perfectly said what parenthood looks and sounds like. Bonus for setting it to Mickey Mouse Theme, lol!! 🙂
hahaha, awesome!
Really awesome take on parenting. Love it!!
Thanks! I wrote a ton of different poems before I settled on that one. It shouldn’t have been that complicated! 🙂
Sounds pretty accurate to me! Love the picture of ‘Henry’ from the Laugh In. (Nobody else will know that I bet!)
We used to watch it on Nick at Nite when we were kids! We still quote it a lot!
This is awesome!
Oh this is brilliant!!! I believe you could kick out an entire BOOK of these eh??? LOL
“Terrible Poetry By the Sadder But Wiser Girl” It could so totally happen…
Yep. You nailed it! A+++ from the teacher waving over here. 😉
I want a gold star! I want a gold star!
That was awesome Sarah and you pretty much nailed it. I loved it. And Anita, I knew that Laugh In scene immediately. Well done!!
Ah Laugh-In. That’s one show you don’t see episodes of anywhere any more! And Thanks!
Too funny. You’re way better at poetry than I am. First time I wrote a poem on my blog people were writing me notes of sympathy, they thought my son was in jail. Yup, I’m that good!
Seriously! LOL! I shouldn’t laugh, but that is funny!
OMG this is great!! I don’t even have to tell you what my favorite line in the poem is because I know that YOU know me so well…!
Yes I do! HA HA! I thought it might brighten up your day.
I thought your poem was very good! Of course, I have no literary abilities and still think Family Guy and the word butthole are hilarious, so take my compliment with a grain of salt.
Huh huh huh huh, you said butt. I still crack up every time my kids say butt or underwear because they think it’s so darn funny!
Awesome. You made this prompt your bitch.
HA! I never thought of it like that!
I think you captured the essence of parenthood perfectly!
Haha I was definitely singing this aloud to myself!

omg – Henry Gibson! Loved Laugh In. Oh, memories! Sock it to me, baby! That cat photo is freaking hilarious.
It wasn’t exactly what I was looking for, but it worked in a pinch. Glad you enjoyed the blast from the past!
As one that abhors poetry but still writes it, ya done good, kid! 🙂
Thanks! I won’t quit my day job.
Love this one Sarah! The first and last lines were perfect!
I’m so shocked that so many people liked it so much!
So perfect! That was awesome!
I don’t know if “perfect” is the word for it! HA HA! Thanks!
Holy crap, it rhymes too! I’m super impressed!
I like rhyming. Rhyming is fun. That’s from Scrubs, and this was the only one video could find for that episode, DARN ITT! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGC6nAqhPns
Love!!!!!!!
This is so sad but true! I love the aggravation 🙂
