Oh You!!

Posted on 05/13/202505/13/2025 by admin

“Oh you!”, you said, aimed at me,
As if I’d done something wrong,
Just because I juggled a cup of tea,

And then I walked backwards up a tree
That’s where squirrels and me belong,
“Oh you!”, you said, aimed at me.

Throwing acorns, falling free,
Down to the floor with certain aplomb
Just because I juggled a cup of tea.

Everyday gets weird, you see,
As if I cant sit still for long,
“Oh you!”, you said, aimed at me,

My brain is like falling scree
Thought boulders smashing sense, all gone,
Just because I juggled a cup of tea

I know its somewhat hard to believe,
But I’m not that random, all along
“Oh you!”, you said, aimed at me,
Just because I juggled a cup of tea,

    Because it is said we need to hear multiple positives for every negative, I give you this. While shortened, and technically not a reprise:

    Oh You!! – Reprised

    “Oh you!”, I said delightedly
    Aimed at you with happy eyes
    As you shared your cup of juggled glee

    Then you flipped off the sun expertly
    While feeding squirrels, I surmise
    “Oh you!”, I said delightedly

    Yes you often defy gravity
    While its pull you still realize
    As you shared your cup of juggled glee

    In this response I hope you see
    The magic that in you flys
    “Oh you!”, I say delightedly
    As you share your cup of juggled glee

    The formatting is destroyed in the preview, so I hope it translates in what you see. And, of course, posting it visibly is up to you. 🙂
