Kurt and I each wrote one of the following poems today. It's hard to tell who wrote which one, but we would like you to decide which one is better. The winner of this contest will receive a relaxing spa worthy foot rub- so this is SERIOUS!
Poem #1
One day Kurt was born
all he would eat were bushels of corn
as he grew he asked for more
instead of one bushel he ate four
Corn was brought from miles around
until not one kernal could be found
no longer a baby but a giant was he
"I want some corn!" he yelled down at me
We looked under cars, under trees, under boats
We looked under pigs, under seas, under goats
"I am so hungy" he cried with a stomp
His tears poured down creating a swamp
"Here Mr. Kurt try one of these"
It was Desiree holding three tiny peas
"This isn't corn" the giant protested
But he ate one and waited until it digested
"Yummy peas!" he said and the town cheered "hurray!"
We're saved because of the great chef Desiree
Now all that is heard is singing and laughter
And everyone lived happily ever after!
Poem #2
Merry Christmas to ALL
hope you ALL
have a BALL
drinking away your festive WASSAIL
and singing carols down the HALL
what presents from the MALL
did you hide out in the STALL?
maybe an ice cube tray or a china DOLL?
did you retain the WHEREWITHALL
to hang some decorations on the WALL?
Jimmy is near the cliff Y'ALL?
please CALL
and tell him not to FALL!
he has the GALL
to go right up to the edge with his friend RANDALL
who is very TALL
but seems to BAWL
every time he hits his head on the MANTLE
let me pick your zit CRANDALL
it's not a zit but a FRECKLE
why did SAUL
change his name to PAUL?
remember the time you tried to HAUL
that big load and gave it your ALL
vote for this poem one and ALL
that makes no sense at ALL, ALL Y'ALL!
Let us know... you decide :)

I think that Desiree wrote the second one...it does say y'all in it :)
I'll guess Kurt wrote the second one, and I think we have the same sense of humor. I loved it Kurt.

Uhhh...I was kinda TORN...between the CORN and the ALLs and Y'ALLs...I think Kurt threw a curve ball, making his poem end with Y'all. I can't imagine Desiree, with all her Bushman imagery...wasting it on snot and zits and stuff like that. :D
And for bonus points....I chuckled while reading number two but number one...I felt like while reading number one I got to actually know and feel the giant Kurt's emotions. Number one was really touching.
Thanks to all of you for voting. Your comments were just as funny. Scarlet voted on poem number one (just for the record).
(This is actually MOM Cliffie) Loved the poems... you two are a riot... always thinking up fun things to do. I'll have to cast my vote for Poem #1 the "corn" was so funny and as I read it I could picture it illustrated to make a great children's book! Could this be a new business venture? :) Love, Mom Cliffie
