<strong>Poems</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Big</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> Let’s Be Silly!<br />

Who Rhymed on Monday?<br />

Jen Finlayson<br />

Who rhymed on Monday?<br />

Was it you?<br />

That was a silly thing to do<br />

'Cause rhyming's out, they told me so,<br />

It isn't cool, and you should know.<br />

Who rhymed on Monday?<br />

Was it him?<br />

That was exceptionally dim<br />

It's never done, it's not the Way,<br />

Not anymore; it's old, passé.<br />

Who rhymed on Monday?<br />

Was it she?<br />

How stupid can a person be?<br />

They faxed a memo, silly female,<br />

They even sent a note by email:<br />

"NO RHYMES ON MONDAY!"<br />

So who did?<br />

I'll bet it was that rookie kid<br />

How could he know when he was hired<br />

A Monday-rhyme could get him fired<br />

Or maybe it was Jane, or Frank,<br />

Or mailroom Jim, just <strong>for</strong> a prank<br />

Or Bill, who fills the candy up<br />

Or Sue, who left her coffee cup<br />

The manager, to test our poise<br />

That troop of little girls and boys<br />

The courier who took that letter<br />

That lady with the Irish Setter<br />

Oh Someone! Someone has to know!<br />

What?<br />

It was me?<br />

Oh well.<br />

I'll go.<br />
