Jump Rope Rhyme

My friend Heidi Mordhorst has been hosting a fun challenge on her blog My Juicy Little Universe this month.  Every weekday during March she has a different word ending in "CH" for us to write poems with.  Today's word was punch.





Ice cream soda,
Delaware punch,
will you be
my honey bunch?

If you love me
here's what to do
we'll jump together
one and two.

   Can you try writing your own jump rope rhyme today?  Have fun.

Never Ending Poem

Pancakes for breakfast,
pancakes for lunch,
I like pancakes
a bunch,
      Bunch
          BUNCH!


     Now, you might ask, why did I title this a Never Ending Poem?  Because it can have almost unlimited stanzas if you want to play a poetry game.  Each person can add a stanza but first must repeat all the previous stanzas.

Pineapple for breakfast,
pineapple for lunch,
I like pineapple
a bunch,
      Bunch
          BUNCH!

 Think of all the foods you could put into stanzas for this poem.  Or someone could name a topic like citrus fruits, flowers, trees, shoes.  The first person's stanza would have the topic word and then everyone playing could supply an example for the next stanzas.
  This could also work as a jump rope rhyme and everyone who comes in has to add a verse.  Then 

Too many pancakes for lunch,
Too many pancakes for dinner,
I jump rope
to get 
    thinner,
        Thinner,
             THINNER!
  
   You are welcome to leave your verses in the comments.  I hope you are having a good day writing. Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo.  What will you do to celebrate?  Will you write a poem about that?
