Carly's Poetry

2007

I was alone until you came along
I did not know what to do without you
Just sitting in the gloom

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

If I could see the ocean, if I could see the sea
If I could see the ocean, who could love me?

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

For the water is rushing past the boats. "Ahoy"
For the candy in the children's pockets. There is no more.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Smelly, smelly skunk
He eats a bunch of junk
Stomps his feet and lifts his tail
Oh no, what a smelly smell!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

You are mine
and I am yours
and that's the way it is.
With a whistle and a clap
we'll be together
and that's the way it is.
