ODE TO MY EARS

Oh, my stylish ears,

helping me to hear,

waggling on the side of my head,

waiting for a story to be read.

The music wafts inside you,

like bubbles that once flew,

you’re always listening to the sounds,

to the barking of my hounds.

Oh my, stylish ears,

You’ve been with me for years and years,

eavesdropping on my sister,

talking about someone who kissed her.

Maybe I could pierce you,

decorate with diamonds of blue,

but I’m pretty sure that it would hurt,

and a little bit of blood would spurt.

I thank you ears for helping me,

you’ll probably will die when I’m ninety three!

And I know you will always be there,

hidden underneath my unmanageable hair.


P- It was really simple!
M- It was hard to come up with rhyming words!
I- I had no idea that I could write an ode so easily!
