Yes, Polly Anna was her name
And smiling (teaching?), laughing was her game.
She loved life and she loved her Lord
Never was she stiff as a board.
How short she was, and chubby too,
She loved all of the boys she knew—
True, she liked the wonderful men
She would have seen them all again.
Gerard Butler, Ewan [Mc]Gregor,
Johnny Depp, Mel Gibson, and more—
Flowed deep within her dreams always
Though, with none could she run away.
But her fav-or-ite man is her
Son, Samuel Josiah, for sure!
Movies, books, fantasies, and on
She’d mightily enjoy ‘til dawn.
Her collection of books was grand
They could not be wrapped with one band.
Gone With the Wind, Cold Sassy Tree,
Twilight Saga, Ivanhoe, see—
All seven Harry Potter books
As long as her husband don't look!
So, too was her collection of
As long as her husband don't look!
So, too was her collection of
Movies large; they came from above:
One Night With the King. Moulin Rouge.
The Phantom of the O-per-a.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Edward, the Cullens, and Bella.
Friends and CSI: Las Vegas
Shania Twain, Twila Paris,
Sting, and Michael W. Smith,
Phil Collins, Amy Grant, Go Fish.
And don’t forget, many pandas,
Precious Moments, and camera
To take many pictures for her
Scrapbooking hobby, she was sure.
She always taught with all her heart
Never was she playing a part
What you see is what you get. So,
Jesus is her truth, her life, mo-
Only way—He will never leave
You or forsake you, promised me.
Yes, Polly Anna--she sure was!
Mrs.Watson,you are so great! You know how to make a person smile even in the worst of times! You are absolutely my favorite teacher! I am so glad I have you for English 113 next semester.You are an inspiration to me!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I know your secrets. Mwuahahaha. I see you are a poet. I did a little bit of poetry in English last year. Perhaps I will post it. Perhaps not. Most likely I will. I like this poem. It is amusing.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to see the newest Harry Potter movie tonight. Have you seen it? What was your impression of it? I'm expecting that it will have a dissapointing ending, leading into part 2. I guess we shall see.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Watson you are such a great poem writer. I love the part about the boys. lol
ReplyDeleteMrs. Watson, I actually did my "Verses on the Death of..." wayyy in advance 'cause I was excited about it. (Should that scare me?) But I kinda changed it up and did it from my own perspective. It was like I wrote it, and then gave it to my significant other or family member on my death bed. I hope that's alright. (:
ReplyDeleteI love this..It is so interesting and advanced way beyond of what i could do. Such a good blog :)
ReplyDeleteOmg Mrs. Watson, this is epic:)
ReplyDeleteYou should of made our class write one, but instead you made the OTHER class do it. I read Mackensie's and his was cool:)
I think I will write one just for fun. Hopefully:)
it won't be as good as yours tho:(
This is a very creative way of showing the reader indepth feelings along in a beautiful poem. I thought it was neat how you listed things in the poem because it made the paper look more formal.
