I don't have too many of them, but I like to dabble here and there in my RLM's (Really Long Meetings) at work.

This one is one I wrote to provide some backstory about Barnabas the Barmy (the wizard on the mural across from the Room of Requirement who tried to teach Trolls ballet).

Enjoy:

Come now dear children and I shall tell,
a true, sad story I know so well
'tis a tale of a man, so creative and brave
a dying art he strove to save
He had an idea, many thought him mad
but he knew if it worked, more would be glad
The idea he had was certainly not droll
He was determined to teach ballet to a troll!
Though clumsy and large and mean they may be
Ol' Barnabas just laughed and said "leave 'em to me!"
And off to the mountains and caves he did go
and gathered up ev'ry one, no matter how slow

He charmed soft music to play from a rock
and slowly stepped back and carefully took stock.
"Okay now lads" he yelled full of glee
"Pay close attention and imitate me."
He threw up his hands and twisted and spun.
Then stopped, face flushed, and cried "Doesn't it look fun?"
"Now come on you lot, let's see a smile,
arms over your head-now spin all the while!"
The trolls raised their arms and twirled clumsily around
Barnabas watched proudly, then suddenly frowned
As he watched the large creatures all flailing about
he thought very carefully, then figured it out.
"I know what you need!" he yelled, startling a few
And with a flick of his wand, magic happened on cue
and ev'ry troll looked down, surprised to see himself
in a short
pink
frilly
tutu

The trolls glared at each other, grunted and shook
Barnabas was pleased, a smile his face overtook
One of the trolls looked around, a large looking fellow
he quickly spied a club and let out a bellow
lifting it high, he twirled and he spun
right over to Barnabas, who clapped from such fun
then stopped quite suddenly-his eyes filled with dread
as the troll lowered his club, right down on his head!

And thus ends the tale of Barnabas the Mad
who is known for the silliest idea ever to be had
And the moral of this tale that you should take home
Is to leave trolls of all types, very much alone.

Ah well, I never claimed to write good poetry.

Aw, this is so cute and quirky, like Lewis Carroll's poems. Have you written any others similar to this one?

That was cute ive been writing for a long time and i dont think i can write a poem with that much detail and still have it rhyme lol good job -leah mae

I like it! It's so whimsical, and I can imagine that's exactly what happened. LOL, Jo couldn't have written it better. Great job.

That was really good and very detailed. I found it very entertaining.
I'd love to hear more or your poems.

*mouth drops to the floor* that was such a groovy poem, it reminded me of the grinch lol

post more soon. I love your poems.

Wow. I didn't think anyone would really read my poem and like them!

Anyway, this is something a little different, it's just something that hit me one day in my RLM:

It's supposed to be rapped to the tune of Vanilla Ice's 'Ice Ice Baby'

Ice Mice Baby

Alright stop-grab a package and rip it
reach in find a mouse and grip it
Smiling, I grab a hold of it at last
throw it in my mouth, faster'n fast
"Does it really sqeak?"
Hey wait a few,
give me a sec, while I chew
My head is spinning when my teeth start to chatter
I'm shakin' so hard I think I'm going to shatter
"Swallow"
Feel it jumping all way down
It's in my stomach and bouncing all around
"Freezing"
But it's ever so pleasing
The cold grips my body and my breaths are now wheezing
Love it or leave it
I'm wishing somehow
That I could get my hands on another right now

If there is a package yo, I'll eat it
It's my addiction, I need to feed it.

Chorus: Ice Mice Baby
I need some Ice Mice Baby

Now that my stomach is jumpin'
A little mouse in my mouth and it's legs are thumpin'
Chomping it down
Chomp it down, no foolin'
I love 'em so much, just the thought starts me droolin'
"Buying them"
They cost six sickles
They are my favorite, can't call me fickle
At Honeydukes, where they sit on a shelf
between the sock bots and the candied elves
"Walking"
Right out of the shop
I'm so excited, I think I'm going to pop
the kids are all wavin, waitin' just to see 'em
"Did you stop?"
No, I just walked by
Kept on, walking to my best place
I can't keep the smile off my face
Behind me, I hear a loud squeak,
I tripped and fell, a giant mouse treat?
Oh yeah, I hit the ground real hard
Back on my feet, gain another yard
Elbow to elbow
the village was packed
They're trying to get away from the giant attack
Aurors on the scene
You know what I mean?
They're trying to stun
this really big mouse thing.

If there's a giant mouse, yo I'll eat it
I've got an addiction and I need to feed it.

Chorus: Ice Mice Baby
I need my Ice Mice Baby

Yo-can I have another?
*Burp*

lmao that was good.
I can't wait to see your next one.
