Yellow pants and Dinosaur T-Shirts

"What time is it?"
"It'll be time soon for school"
Daddy kindly, but firmly retorts
"Know what your wearing?"
But,
I already know that answer of course.
"No
but I want to look cool,
and I want to wear colours of all sorts!
So can you help me
and choose while I play
.... Just a little bit"


I've got an idea,
I know what could work!
"How about
Your Yellow pants and Dinosaur t-shirt?"



I want to say very quickly that I am NOT a poet. I struggle with poetry and have very little technical knowledge of how poems are constructed. Saying that I still enjoy and appreciate them, and very very occasionally I get an itch in the back of my mind to try my hand at writing one.

It just so happened that yesterday morning was one of those times. It was a morning unremarkable from any other, however something about it stuck in my head as interesting, dare I say inspiring.

All I could think of was 'yellow pants and dinosaur T shirts' (the outfit my son wore to school that day), repeating over and over in my mind. Like an itch I just had to scratch, I just knew I Had to do something with it.

I had no clue what to do mind you. It was only once I was driving home from a friends house after dropping my son off at the school gates and our daily coffee at a friends café that snippets of the lines above started to form.

I hope you enjoy it. It may be mundane, but I hope it is pleasantly so. Its a small slice of our life.

I'm not a poet either
I think everything that rhymes is a poem
Rick seems alright
I'm glad Ed introduced me to'em.

His wife must not be bad either
Least from what I can see
Not that what I say holds any weight
I can't even spell poet tree

A poet tree?
I wonder if you could grow one?
It might help someone maybe
When faced with the conundrum
Of how to write poetry.

Conondwhat? Never heard of it
But I know what a drum sounds like
Ba da t't'tat bap b-bap boom
It's a drum that's why it didn't rhyme

Ratta tat ta goes the cat in the hat, but the mouse... Is sadly deceased.

Peace :mic drop:

hahaha the fuck...

See that's quality lyrics there, you could get a platinum record with that shit
