Six Feet
Six FeetTwo Hula-Hoops side-by-side,
How far four-square courts are wide.
Two giant steps, a gym mat,
Our teacher wearing a hat.
The height of the monkey bars,
The width of our parents’ cars.
Ninety Legos in a row,
Twelve of our shoes heel to toe.
A bathtub, the refrigerator,
My bunk bed, an alligator.
By this time we sure can tell,
How far is six feet very well.

Cat claws to pause, small spots to stop.
Bats above balls tell us to shout!!!!!
Canes query? (Smiles!) What’re these keys? @#%^&.
Aren’t hangnails for leavin’ things out?
Dots... & dashes--“whiskers to talk”,
“Decorations”: for sentences-----
Don’t # they # make # this-

I enjoy reading funny poems,
From Ogden Nash to Roald Dahl,
But of the poets that I read,
Anonymous is best of all.
Each time I read a funny poem,
With Anonymous below it,
I wonder why she’s still unknown.
Who is this wonderful poet?
Half Face
Half Face
In this time of Stay-in-Place,
And we all wear a mask,
I can see just half a face.
What‘s behind them I ask?
Are they smiling or wearing frowns?
Do the cheeks have dimples?
Do teeth wear braces, or gold crowns?
Do the chins have pimples?
Does he have a bushy beard?
Does a ring pierce her nose?
Are the lips red? Are they sneered?
Perhaps a mustache grows.
Yet behind every mask I see,
Be the face old or young.
I fear they’re snarling right at me,
And sticking out their tongue.

U
U
No matter how much thinking I do,
There is no word that ends with U.
U starts many words we use,
It always trails after Q’s.
Side by side makes a W.
And that letter ends quite a few.
But who knows a word that ends in U.
Do you?
