Woodland Weather Watchers

This is a bit of a tongue-twister, so read it slowly

A Woodland Wolf and Whippoorwill,
Were wandering here and there,
When Wally Warthog walked on by,
In winter weather wear.

"Why are you wearing woolies?
There's no winter weather storms,
For winter's cold is withering,
And winds are wafting warm.

"I'm really kind of wary,
And was warned by Weasel Will,
That winter weather, wet and wild,
Would whip up with a chill."

"Well, why does Willy Weasel
Always watch the weekly news?
Whatever warnings whispered there,
Are wasted words and views."

"The Woodland Wolves and Whippoorwills,
Are worthy weather watchers,
So tell Wee Willy not to whine,
There'll be no Gully Washers."

Yes, a very clever use of alliteration.
An entertaining whimsical piece.
Good for Christmas cheer.

Keep up the good work,


Happy Christmas,

Rich

David,
I LOVED the use of alliteration in this peom. It's amazing! I love finally getting a chance to come back online and read all these treasures you all have put out. Great job!! It's such a great twister!

Thank you David, I do like to start the day with a smile, and this did it for me.
It also painted a vivid picture, a Lewis Carroll type of scene.
One small point.
With regard to Willy Warthog, was it ware, or wear?

Meter and rhythm are very good and the rhyming pattern is unforced and rolls off the tongue with ease. A wonderfully, witty wisp of whimsy...I love that 'w' was used for the alliteration, it is a letter with a full and exuberant sound which adds to the fun as it also works wonderfully well read aloud. Very clever and I think I detect a bit of a sly comment about human nature among the twists and turns of the tongue.

Wow Wilbur, this was wonderful. Would be hard to write with all those W's. Wonderful and witty,wasn't what I would have written, but thats why we're wanting to read new writes! Anthony
