villy-nilly, so silly
Poppy & fuschia
orange & moosha-
I've come here to tell ya' of Navahnoonoo bougainvillea
with her petals like leaves
that cling to the eaves
peeping this way & that
at parents and others
with kisses that smother
They tickle and pinch you,
the cute little NooNoo!
With amazingish brio
you try to break free. . . oh!
'Can't knit or crochet
but I know how to say,
and I know how to hug
your adorable mug!
Navahnoonoo Bouganvillea
a rhymer, a climber, a gootchy, a poochy,
a sure fire dancer, a sweet moving mantra
These stanzas keep humming,
they flibble & pop,
so I'll just do one more
before you say "Stop!"
I know this sounds terse:
Yet it renders some verse:
The darling of smoochie,
our own Navahnucci!
