Yemassee is my moose
through fragrant meadows he leads me
where flamingos rest unsuspectingly
and gangs of killer clowns roam free.
A trail of sparks he leaves behind
shooting flames from finger tips
where no one or thing is ever exempt,
all fair game to his fiery wit.
His well runs deep in the hills of Maine
and is stuffed with all sorts of critters,
Smokey the Bear is not a big fan
but of this my Moose is not bitter.
He reads his way through all of AP
and his comments they abound
(he could eat you out of house and home)
in the animal circles he’s quite renowned.
When the moose is out and on the loose
there’s no telling what it might bring
and mixed with his trusty Moxie
his own brand of Poland Spring.
Talent and imagination merge
into characters of his command
awe and laughter live side by side
and come to life with the wave of his hoof--
oops, I mean his hand.
Author notes
What? I thought it was supposed to be about Mooses not Muses. I'm confoosed 
I DQ'd myself
Can you name someone or something Yem has not set on fire?

Thanks TD. It's hard to write anything Yemassee related without humor. lol I am trying to write a more serious entry for the actual contest.
Here, have a muffin but don't let it hit the floor. lol -
-

Good to see you Joy!! I couldn't have found a more appropriate picture. lol Now that I know I can just feed the Moose some muffins and I'll stay inspired.
Hope all is well with you.

Regarding your comment question---
Ms. Marvel so far has escaped,
so kind and motherly she is!!!
I smell muffins! Did the moose get here first?
Mmmmmmm... oh, a muffin! I'd trade a cat for
a muffin!
Pixie, you caught that moose
in your lens before you let him loose!
Now the world knows his mystic secrets!
Great, great write!!!
Aes

You are the first to answer my question! Yay! You are tephlon to Yemish acts too! Lucky you! The prize is a Muffin. I saved only one...don't let Yem know I gave it to you. Ssshhhh
Glad you enjoyed my confoosion, Aes.
-
-
Of course, Ms. Marvel is very observant
and plays along with all games and rules presented!
Yes, I love the loose moose piece!
Burt not in the contest---is the Bentley yet to come??????????
Now I am really hungry for a muffin! -
-
Yes, Ms. Marvel is an amazing observer and doesn't miss a trick!
I saw that humor wasn't listed as an option so I decided to go ahead and post this on its own and link it to the one I enter.
Yem still doesn't know about what happened to him in your comments. lol -
-
To Yem, humor is praise--of high level!!
It's past bonzo-time, so most likely wont
take time to read down the page! -
-
Ok guys, what happened to me? I'm to lazy to go all the way to the bottom of this poem to find out.
Did someone cut my arms off and feed them to pigs? Cool!
Nite guys.
-
-
No, the Pig is eating Pancakes. Where have you been? Keep with the program. Gheez!
-
-
I'll throw some bread crumbs here and there
-
-
Muffin crumbs!

Dear Pixie your moose is fine its just your muse on the wine and she's er fine as well ...a case of misteaken identity with horns and imps an excellent write dearest poet
-
-
My muse is juiced? LOL That explains a lot.
Thanks for the visit and comment Antipodi. I'll be dropping by your page in a bit.

-
It's the killer clowns that are viewing this poem...you don't want to know what they are up to! Wait, it's in their name already.
-
Actually there are three muffins there...you owe me three muffins...
-
-
I owe you? Oh really now...
Think of the owl on the Tootsie Pop commercial...now think of me...a one, a two, a three.
You snooze, you looze...no muffins left for the mooze. Too bad for you...they were Bahstun Creme too
-
-
This is the second poem I read tonight that is written for Yem. Quite an amusing poem, rhymes worked well adding even more fun to the poem.
You are very creative
-
-
Thanks for the comment, Mari. Nice to see you
It was fun writing this. I guess you could say it sparked my "moose". lol
-
-
Where's my muffin! You ripped me off. I didn't get no stinkin' muffin!
-
-
There you go, a poem written for you. Second one I see this evening, actually
-
I ate it
-
-
of course you did...that is to be expected from a Pixie!
-
-
You know when you can't find stuff? Yeah, that's me too.
-
-
Now what did you lose? I lost my marbles.
-
-
-
-
I didn't know you were a captain. Good to meet you Captain Obvious. Nice suit. I thought you were a lady?
-
-
Ahem...I am a lady. Captain obvious is YOU. I hate when I have to explain jokes to you...
jsyk Everyone else got it.

This is funny! Thank you! You know I love humor. Heck, it was the first thing that made us friends! I think I give people more images of who I pretend to be than anyone else. Moxie, moose, lazy, forgetful, hick...Maine, cows...I'm like this walking cartoon.
Thank you! And yes, I know, I now owe you another...are you keeping tab?
-
-
What do you mean another? I'm still waiting for the first one
Who me? Keep tabs? Never! I'm hurt you would even suggest that.
-
-
I'm sorry. My writing has been dead for a while now. I've posted a couple old ones but nothing new in a while. See when the dam breaks I'll write you like 20
-
-
What? You mean you're not a moose? All this time you had me thinking you were. I'm crushed.
-
-
My son has that book lol
This is so witty and full of your imagination. I love it!
Stacy
-
-
Thanks Stacy Is it a good book? I have to know because my moose likes muffins. lol
I was going to use this as a contest entry about my dear friend Yem but humor didn't appear to be an option so now I have to write a more serious one. -
-
It's a really cute book, yep. There's a sequel to it.. If You Give a Pig a Pancake too
-
-
It does look like a cute story. I miss reading children's books to my kids but the gateway to literature was opened for both. My youngest just finished reading The Great Gatsby...because she wanted to.
I think my next poem will be somehow related to the Pig and his Pancake. lol -
-
My son is 15 now but obviously I've still hung on to some of his childhood books. I'm a die hard reader and I was hoping by tying him down every night, reading to him, I'd instill that in him as well. He hates it I think I ruined him. He reads like a dream though..its a shame.
-
-
My youngest is 15 too. She only jumped on the reading for pleasure bandwagon in the last few years. When I found something that interested her I would look for books on the topic no matter what it was...just to get her reading.
He might surprise you yet.
