Ursula was sipping her uncola,
Unintentionally twirling her hair.
Undecided about what to tell him,
Unusually wrapped up in despair.
Usher was being fitted for his uniform,
Unsung heroes were always fun to play.
Unitard was a bit imposing,
Underwear crept up on him all day.
Unapproachable she went to see him,
Unibrow smiled as she sneered.
Undeterred by her pleas for freedom,
Unsuspecting female thought he cared.
Usher's call to Ursula was unanswered,
Unfathomable images came to mind.
Until he could wait no longer,
Usher quickly started to unwind.
Underworld boss tied her to the train tracks,
Uncontrollable anguish fueled his rage.
Understudy swept Ursula off to safety,
United once again on center stage.
Unbeknownst to the playwright,
Unassuming boy with shoeshine kit emerged.
Ungrateful for stealing all his secrets,
Underdog's story was shut down without a word.
I thought I was setting myself quite a task until I found your response to the challenge. This is fun. http://suestrifles.wordpress.com

Well, I'm glad Ursula was saved! Yay for the understudy.
ReplyDeleteJulie you are so clever. I just love your poems. Tied to the tracks is where this one really surprised me.
ReplyDeleteGreat poem Julie,enjoyed it very much.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Suesconsideredtrifles - I do have fun writing these silly poems. Thanks Sue!
ReplyDeleteCynthia - Understudy's are often considered underdogs too! Thanks. Cynthia!
Rhonda - Remember those old Underdog cartoons where Polly Purebread was often tied to the tracks? Thanks Rhonda!
Thank you Yvonne! You're the real poet. I just write these for fun.
Julie
Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteNever would have guessed a coherent poem could be written starring words beginning with U! Did it take a long time to piece together?
ReplyDeleteYou are doing one heck of a job with these poems....
ReplyDeletePoor Underdog. He deserves his story to be out there.
ReplyDeleteYou are an awesome poet. I was worried about adequately posting for U, since I couldn't think of any words that started with that letter. The end of the alphabet is hard!!! A bit worried about X!!!
ReplyDeleteThis undoubtedly rocked!!!!! What a great job!!
ReplyDeleteHurray for Understudy saving the day. I'm totally amazed that you were able to come up with so many U words! Brilliant poem, Julie. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! LOVE it! So clever.
ReplyDeleteUn-questionably great!
ReplyDeleteLOL....loved that...your command of "U" words is...Uncanny :)
ReplyDeleteThat is unbelievable! LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you A Daft Scot's Lass!
ReplyDeleteKim - It probably takes me about the same amount of time; though I do everything in slow motion.
Thanks Delores!
Ruth - He needed to protect his secret identity.
Morgan - I'm sure you'll do a great job! I still haven't decided what I'm doing yet, but many people use words that don't start with "X". Ex words are possibilities too. Thanks Morgan!
Thank you Arleen!
Julie
