It's time for the Monthly Poetry Group, hosted by Karen at Baking in a Tornado. Participants write a poem about a topic one of us chose. This month, Diane chose Flags. Be sure to go check out all the poems.
I set out to learn, when I was a child,
each country's flag, and it was wild!
The encyclopedia, starting with A,
I tried to learn one every day.
I'd often lose track, forget where I was,
or skip a day, just because.
Forgetting which stripes went up and down
or side to side, would make me frown.
I really got bored and could not see
that knowing all this made a difference to me.
While it would be nice to know,
I dropped the whole thing, and so
I finally decided to tender
The white flag of surrender!

Smiling. I have never tried to learn all the flags but suspect I would have been waving the white flag early.
ReplyDeleteThat's a huge undertaking, I would never have been able to do it either.

Gahhh! I used to love identifying them! Now I barely remember the flags of my neighbouring countries!
