Pipsqueaks and Such

Uncoiling Is Noisy

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Spring has sprung!

Pipsqueaky freaky, sneaky uneasy

Persnickety uppity lickety-split

Stealing stealthy unhealthy beneath me

Until I'm convinced and forced to acquit

.

Raggedy-rickety stumbling, bumbling

I wobble gibblegobbledy unsteady already

Who are these geeks a'gawking at me

Who see I'm nowhere knowhow ready

.

Hop-along-hoppy and haplessly happy

A sillywilly willy-nilly in love

They can't take my face, my mind, or my way

They can't reach down that low from above
