A few poetic gems

Josh has brought out the songwriter in me. Whenever we're alone we'll start humming, then he'll start beat boxing, then we'll dance and start spitting some ill rhymes that are ridiculous and would be ever so embarrassing if anyone ever heard them. Have you heard the rap he wrote for me for my birthday? Entitled: Kri$ali$. 

I'm here with my friend, her name is Kristi. 
A week since the picnic, I'm sure she's missed me. 
It seems just like yesterday we were hanging out and playing games
But everything just seems to change, Yo
That's how it goes

She's so sweet, we call her Krispy Kreme
She's so bright, a light shining beam
You're so pretty, you make the girls jealous
This here Josh, has to fight off all the fellas

Kristi, Krisalis, she doesn't even know how cool she is
Kristi, Krispy Kreme, she likes how I groove and how I lean

We all freak out when you come to our home (Hey Kristi!)
That's why we decided to write you this poem
Sunday dinner comes around, and there's family all around, you still take time to talk to me
In the summer in our town we'll go swimming won't let you drown, \
Chips and soda we will pound, and some orange juice possibly. 
YTB, you're the best, when you leave we get depressed
K to the R, I to the S, it's someone's party can you guess?

Kristi, Krisalis, she doesn't even know how cool she is
Kristi, Krispy Kreme, she likes how I groove and how I lean

We've been so busy lately, hence the lack of blogging for months. One night not so long ago we were both studying hard and I glanced up to see him passed out on the ground, too tired to keep going. He had worked 6 hours that day and then gone to school, and had been doing homework ever since. And suddenly I felt so poetic and scribbled down my first ever poem. 


My first ever poem for you
you're lying on the ground right now looking so tired
probably worried about school and not getting fired
you're such a sleepy mouse cause you worked so hard
you even ran to the bus to work off some booty-lard
Joshy oh joshy now it's time to sleep
I can't wait to cuddle you and play with your bare feet
I'm so glad you're mine, without you I'd be so glum
I love you forever, from your Bieber hair down to your tiny bum.

I shook him awake and led him to our bed and the hum of his slight-snore told me he was asleep for good. We are so busy, but that's just how life is.  But through it all we'll have our silly songs to keep us upbeat.
