One for the Nut House

.

Oh, how I wanted
to boil my hat,
a sequence that
made no sense
to anyone outside
my little cherry box.

We were all as latelate
-late
as watches on
chains and white
rabbits can measure,
a slow roiling boil, a
nifty-fifty carat treasure
that just might outshine
the sun. Give me

your shoe, I said
and you thought
I was crazy, pain
-ting intricate days
-ies on linoleum
floors in various
shades of sum
……………….-mer.

 

.
whirligiggled.

    We know the nuthouse and rabbit all too well…crazy is a moveable feast…I say paint the floor as long as there are cherries and summer

    Love the Alice in Wonderland reference and the play on words here….brilliant 🙂

  3. This is quite a crazy poem! But in a great way. “boil my hat” : that idea in itself is crazy funny. Of course I soak my husband’s in white vinegar to rid it of the sweat smell that creeps back in it! But boiling might work as well 🙂
    And then “give me your shoe” — sounds quite hilarious!

    I think we all need to be a little crazy or else we will go quite mad.

    Sometimes “crazy” sounds so wonderful, the escape too tempting.

    Wonderful.

    Painting daisies on linoleum is a nice image…I don’t think it’s crazy:)
