‘Tis the eyes of the Lobster: all beady and black
Little black pearls; but luster they lack
They stare and stare with nary a blink.
And heavens to Betsy if you know what they think!
With pinchers and crushers and blood of blue
I’m not so sure I’d want one in my stew!
The new year dawns and here am I
Writing of lobsters and I’m not sure why!
Oh, but I jest and of course I do!
‘Twas a bet! I lost! And now pay my due.
Sincere apologies to those who read.
I know it’s rough. I must complete this deed.
I hope this ditty; whatever it be
Fits the bill and you’re more than pleased, --!*

* You know who you are!
HUGGGGGGGGGG
whoever it be,
you inspired, thank you.
It isn't every day we get a poem about a lobster fondue ;-)
I meant JD !
( was I right ? )
Your guesses on who fit the rhyme for sure but, no,
I'm not telling who
unless they want me too!
Happy New Year, Candace!
Very nice for a new day and year.

Is something I'll answer, tis blue it is true.
And as for the payment off a very fun bet,

Well done as always, Katie! You are truly a master IRON POET!!!

(as for the bet,....hummmm...it was about a different type of creature)
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN...RIGHT????
And I love your response to be true!
And yes a different type of creature was the centre of the bet.
I think I know what you mean! But OVER TO YOU!!!
Maybe a joint blog just this one time for this one reason?
: )
So the last lines should read...
I hope this ditty; whatever it be
Fits the bill and you’re more than pleased, JD!
If a lobster's blood is blue, does that make it royalty? :o)
Thanks for stopping by, Rennis.
Oh, Cathy, I am sorry for those nightmares! Truly I am! ; ) Does it help if I wish you a VERY, VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!?!
Lea, that would have been a lovely thing to see ... lobsters all marching in a row. I imagine them all proud and regal-like! Thank you for coming by and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I stuff myself with this wonderful feast.
Sounds like you got another challenge down cold.
