Two Poems, One Submission

THE BABY BURROWING OWLS STORY

I found five baby burrowing owls
These abandoned baby burrowing owls looked starved
Not starved for fame just Taco Bell
Taco Bell drivethru would do well
Well, I came across a pet store
The pet store must have been a better choice
Any choice is allowed to turn impulsive
Being impulsive fed them for a week
A week of mice, frogs, lizards and snakes in a bucket
This bucket of food was donated to Animal Control
Animal Control found a home for these owlets
These owlets were suicidal and had to be nurtured
The nurtured owlets lived on to be domesticated birds
Domesticated birds envious of talking parrots

RECITE

Recite the alphabet from A to Z
The letter Z is a model-based notion.

Recite the numbers from 1 into infinity
The infinity is endless, stop at 100.

Recite the names and order of our planets
The planets are the big smooth rocks in the galaxy.

Recite the magical multiplication tables
These tables will get you places in life.

Recite the civil rights speech because you believe it
Believe it because everybody has the right to dream.

Recite those music lyrics without a frown
Frown too much and you'll look like a clown.

Recite this sonnet poem with some emotions
Emotions drive the storytelling.

If you know nothing else, recite the holy scriptures
The holy books are considered the ultimate guide to life.

NaPoWriMo April 2021, Writing Prompt Day 21 - Exploring nursey rhymes. Write a repetitive set-up

NOTE: I was raised with nursey rhymes, however, that wasn't anytime recent. I tried my best in 12-hours. I came up with 2 poems. Neither in the catergory of my best works. The first poem was based on the NaPoWriMo example poem and video, which upset me. The second poem was based just things young and old folks commonly memorize.
