Genki's Poetry and Such

You might have noticed that I enjoy poetry, and I thought it would be
nice to keep things tidy and put my forays into poetry in one place Easy to skip if'n you don't care, and easy to read if you do! It's a win-win

This one was written June 2, 2010 (and totally in the
spirit of fun, despite my "disclaimer" )

I'm bigger, stronger, faster, smarter
A startling, handsome woman
To eyes, a feast - no need to speak
My consciousness abounds

I'm long and lean, or in between
Big strong men will swoon
A beauty queen, I'm never mean
And have a high IQ

Mesmerizing, never lying
My humor is the best
Fair and kind to all mankind
Just put me to the test

I have two things to say right now
Before I end this verse
Luv ya much, give me your stuff
Lest ye all be cursed!

*DISCLAIMER - I mean each and every word of this, now fork over your games!

From 6/3/2010 - I was on a roll and couldn't stop! haha

Selina:
How many do you have, Genki??? (Regarding my Big Fish games)

Genki:
Oh quite a few, I really do
Looks like it's seventy-five
Add in nine adventure games
and now it's eighty-three

Selina:
Well!! The question is.........................can you name them all (in
rhyme)????

Genki:
So, it took me a over an hour to get this right
And get it down in rhyme
Stay put for coming list
That is if you have time

and then...

*genki takes a deep breath and begins*

Oops, I forgot Slot Words
Another I've never played
I should really try it

Snuffy:
My gosh what a big list you've got
of some sadly that I have not

If I book you a flight
would you be a delight

and give me the blinking lot

Genki:
I forgot the game box set
My mother gave to me
Adventure games Volume 1
Has FIVE games, not just three

Return to Mysterious Island
and Keepsake to keep near
Nibiru: Age of Secrets
and Tunguska, dear

Last of all, the game Dead Reefs
Of these I've tried none
But they're all adventure games
A genre that I love

I know this list looks very long
and tell the truth, it is
I have to say they're not all mine
Daughter's, too, gee whiz!

Some games here I got for free
From promos and kind friends
Others were the Daily Deal
It's Big Fish 'til the end!

I know that I could buy my games
At other sites, it's true
But I like the friendly fish
And all the games that are new

The service here at Big Fish games
It really is the best
Friendly, helpful, wonderful staff
When I've put them to the test

Last of all, there's snuffalump
Who wants my whole game slew
I have to say, "It's in your dreams!"
But gotta try, don't you!

This started out as a letter to my eldest daughter to
read when she got older, and turned into a tribute to all mothers -
Written in 1997

Just Bein' Mom, by
Genkicoll

Awake at six
Every day
I want to sleep
You want to play

I do the laundry
Fold and sort
You throw it all
Out on the floor

Time for dishes
Clean and dry
The dishwasher's open
You climb inside

Let's scrub the floor
Away with the crud
And here you come
Feet caked with mud

It's time for lunch
What a feast!
I can't believe it!
How much can you eat?

It's naptime now
I like it best
When you actually sleep
So I can rest

Not today!
You just sit and cry
For an hour or more
You want outside

If I lay down with you
Will you please go to sleep?
Oh, sure Mommy!
But you won't let it be

You just lay there and talk
And bounce on my head
Please leave me alone
Can't you see that I'm dead?

Being a mother
Can really be trying
I need some ice cream
Guess what, Dad, you're buying

Daddy will watch
Baby and you, both
While I get out of the house
The store's pretty close

I feel better now
I needed a break
The baby is hungry (of course!)
My timing is great

The baby will sleep now
I'd like to, too
I shouldn't even think it
Not in this zoo

A zoo with one monkey
One baby, and me
Of course, then there's Daddy
Big happy family

I actually mean that
though I get tired and cross
I love my little family
But it's tough being boss

You have so much energy
It never desists
But your big, joyful smile
I just can't resist

Let's play for now
While my energy lasts
You're getting hard to pick up
You're growing so fast!

I chase you down the hall
You jump on my back
We wrestle, we tickle
We laugh 'till we can't

Come on, Mommy!
Let's do A-B-C's
OK, are you ready?
Mommy, let's read!

What an odd child
You're smart for just three
But, you know, that's OK
'Cause you take after me

Hey, I've already read
This book twice!
Let's read it again, Mommy
That would be nice

The same book six times
I'm tired of this
Time for bed now
Come give me a kiss

I don't wanna go to bed
No, Mommy, no!
Get off of the floor, dear
I said, time to go

I lay down beside you
It helps get you to sleep
It only takes half an hour
It feels like a week

It's been a long day
I'm about to collapse
But before I do that
Baby wants a snack

The house finally quiet
Everybody asleep
Well, really, not quite
Everybody but me

I just sit in the dark
A rare moment alone
I think about tomorrow
and stifle a groan

Today was Sunday
My weekend is gone!
But I'll survive tomorrow
Because I am Mom

I would not even attempt to put all of the games I own NOW down in rhyme
- there were 83 back then... and now I have over 250, just from BF

Oh woe is me
Cannot you see
that I'm a collector here

My games depend
On when I bend
To sales, whatever they be

There are a few
that in I drew
because they are so good

I had to buy
Didn't even try
to marshal what I'd spend!

Wrote this for an A-Z poetry game

Zephyr o'er mountain
A brook merrily babbles
Beautiful nature

Under a stormy sky
Three kings rule the land
Servants bow and crumble
Beneath their mighty hand

Dare to speak words against
You'll never earn respect
Fight them, cry then, try to please them
You'll only earn contempt

These kings know they're always right
And though you try and try
You'll never meet the standards
Of Me, Myself and I

The Narcissist, by Genkicoll
