The Curly Bits
Sidey’s Weekend Theme – 09.09.2011: The Curly Bits
http://viewfromtheside.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/weekend-theme-37/
The curly witch
Had a curly nose
With curly fingers
And with curly toes
*
Her ears were curly
And so was her hat
She lived at home
With her curly cat
*
And the curly witch
She fried some bacon
‘cos she loved to eat
All the crispy, crunchy, munchy curly bits
*

That was a curly poem ( I mean lovely) may your bits always be curly
Thanks Patrecia! I could only think of ‘bacon bits’ in the shops, lol!
hehehe, very wickedly curly
Teehee, Sidey, I’m afraid that’s all I could come up with.
That was adorable!
Thanks, BV, I’m a ‘bit’ embarrassed at posting this…
Cute! – words and drawing too (and no apologies please
) A most lovable witch, methinks..
Methinks you are too kind Ruth!
Denise – why on earth apologise for such a lovely sketch – full of curliness!
I enjoyed this so much I showed June, and she loved the whole thing.
We shall read / show it to our grandchildren, and they will no doubt enjoy it,
as will your grandchildren.
Loved it!
John
I won’t make excuses then, but suffice it to say it didn’t take 5 minutes altogether, rhyme and drawing. Thank you John for being such a good friend and I’m glad June liked it too.
I have found that the best poetry, art, and prose comes through us sometimes in LESS than 5 minutes…Muse is a wonderful thing, I love this curly little diversion from all the overly intellectualized jargon, and political negativity flying around these days.
Bacon Bacon Bacon
God Bless You
paul
You are right, Paul. I was just playing the fool on a piece of paper when I did this. But of all that I have written so far, the ones I consider the best all virtually wrote themselves!
Yes, indeed, bacon, bacon, bacon! Mmmmn.
Bless you, and thanks for the visit.
I am going to phone my granddaughter right now and read this to her.
she is going to love it.
Thanks Gran. I almost trashed the post, I thought you’d all think I was heading for my second childhood – if not worse!
She DID love it…giggled away…now I have to get her Mom to print it out so she can learn it.
You have a new fan.
Bwahahaha, Gran, crikey moses I have a fan! Give her a big kiss from me! ♥
Even if it were for fun, you touched a good subject Denise. Perhaps you have heard of Fractals… Nature by its volition is not Euclidean. Every surface you watch is curly, curvy haphazard but not circular, square or rectangular. They are only our approximations to the ideal. Thus, not only your curly witch, all of us are all curly… curvy… (every bit of us).
Thanks Sunamu, for teaching me this. What would I do without Google? I am no maths fundi unfortunately though I used to dream I was a reincarnation of a mathematician when I was young. I love the way that everything is analysed and broken down…
ha. this was delightfully fun…nice play on a doodle too..i do that all over my notebook…thanks for the friday smiles…
Glad you liked it Brian. Enjoy your weekend.
Ha! Love this, picture and words! Think I’ll share this one with Maddie and Felix…
Thank you, kind Kate! Have a lovely weekend.
I like it! I really have no talent at all for poetry…. You make it look very easy. Good drawing too…… I can not even draw a good stick figure
Mark, if you promise you won’t tell anyone, I can’t either! You know, after I started blogging, I came across someone who wrote poetry and wished I could do it too. Next thing I tried and have been doing it ever since. Make no mistake, I am very much an amateur though, hahaha! Lovely to have you on board!
Loved it, Denise. I’ve had a sad day and this made me smile all the way down to the tips of my curly bits!
BTW: That “cat” looks like a floppy haired rabbit.
Except for it’s tail . . . it’s a proper tail for a cat.
I’m sorry you had a sad day, Nancy, and glad that this helped a little…
Btw, I can usually copy things, but when it comes to drawing from imagination I need loads more practice. I had the ears, but when I tried to curl the points I made a right mess up! Plus it is literally years since I drew anything!
Well . . . your curly witch is spot on!
A delight to behold along with your precious poem.
Besides, I love floppy eared rabbits.
I also love them, Nancy!
Enjoy your Sunday…
Very amusing, adee, I am also thinking of bacon for the theme
Ta Cindy. How can one NOT think of bacon when one thinks of ‘bits’?
I see a children’s book in the making here!
You know when my children were little I used to make up stories and think to myself that ‘one day…’ because it was so easy. Now I think I’ve lost that ability. You know the saying ‘If you don’t use it, you lose it’!
Excellent – I love all the curly bits on the witch
Thanks GB! I am overwhelmed at the response!
This is brilliant, really funny, I loved it.
And don’t apologise about the drawing, it’s way better than anything I could do. (though I was going to remark about the rabbit until I saw that Nancy did
)
Trouble was, Tinman, the drawing was in black ballpoint so… poor little crabbit! I’m so glad you liked it though.
The important bit was that the cat had a curly tail, Denise.
I will report back on my grandchildrens’ response.
John
Thanks, John… and it did have a curly cat’s tail!
Haha! We both went into re verse, and we both ended up with a pig!
You don’t know how close I came to using the rhyme ‘The Pig with the Curly Tail’, Col. My children and I used to love that one!

Thanks so much, Nancy, for the recommendation! I appreciate it very much. At first I thought you were introducing us to another blog of yours, lol. I will read through Nancy2′s blog later today. Thanks again.
I really like your drawing and your porem. The Curly Witch would be a great character in a children’s book!
Thanks Selma, will have to consider it…
