Name: Susie
Doing This Monday Motif Makes Me Absentee*
Brewing makes me tea
Drinking it makes me pee
Drying flowers makes me potpourri
Hearing jokes makes me teeheehee
Arguing makes me referee
Living in this family makes me three
Getting a facial makes me jolie
Swinging makes me wheeeeeee!
Writing this "poetry" makes me see
Poeting is not what makes me me.
Today's Monday Motif is "Poetry Challenge," issued by mrtl, with a suggestion of this formula,
"[gerund] makes me [word rhyming with "me"]
Ooh! Ooh! Is an English lesson in order here? A gerund is a present participle (an -ing word, like gardening, crying, sleeping, and running) that is used as a noun."
Can you believe her? I am quite sure I suck at this, however it is not really what makes me *absentee. I will be working from early morning until late evening. Feel free to help me with my alleged poem :)

18 heads are better than one . . .
Speaking of tea, I should go brew myself some soon.
Ok yours is spiffy, but I am so not doing that. Mine would be so so soooooooo foolish.
So Foolish.

I'm not into writing poetry but I am enjoying chuckling at yours.
"Getting a facial makes me jolie"
*head explodes*
Uuuuh, and I hear Ms. Jolie is also made quite "jolie" by a facial.
Me not so smart :) Me read yours but not make my own. lol.
So glad you are home Susie.
Wonderful, Susie!
And I love the last line.
Pish and golly, golly gee,

Finishing the poem filled me with glee?
Damned fine job!
