Writer's Workshop Wednesday

Mama Kat's challenge this week was a bit of a conundrum for me. The prompts are as follows:

1. Describe your significant other's most attractive quality (on the inside).
2. Tell about something you stole.
3. Choose a poem you like. Take the last line and use it as the first line of your own poem. (www.creativewritingprompts.com)
4. Write a bout a scary encounter with an old professor.

I think the first prompt might be a tad boring, so I skipped that one. The second prompt wouldn't evoke a fun and exciting story since all I ever stole was gum from a small market and accidentally walked out of Walgreens with some Ibuprofen with out paying. The fourth prompt just didn't happen unless it was sooooo scary that I have repressed it. So that leaves me with the third one. As a kid I loved the poem Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too by Shel Silverstein, so here it goes......

Dear Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.
I can't believe you fly in a shoe.
It sounds like fun,
I wish I knew.

Oh, Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too,
If I could go for a fly with you,
We'd fly from Kingdom Come to Timbuktu.
Can I come with all of you?

I could clean the shoe
And serve the crew
As farther, and farther, and farther we flew
We could see worlds of new.

Just think of all that we could do
Beyond the moon and through the flue
To a place of true
Oh, please Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too
Let's leave with the morning dew
As the sun comes up and the sky is blue
Are you ready Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too?

I remember dreaming of the places they went to and how fun it would be to go with them. After all who goes around flying in a shoe? It was a little challenging, but fun. I just hope it makes sense to the rest of you. Until next Wednesday.......
