Sponge Bob Lament

No more pineapples under the sea.
Mornings are quiet, just Papa and me.
Turn on the TV and what do I see?
Blathering news, depression guarantee.

Surfing the stations, awww, TruTV!
Verdicts in, the murderer's been set free.
Decorate a room on HGTV?
Terrazzo floors just aren't for me.

Food Channel now, its Emeril whoopee,
Looks as a clown an ol' Chef Boy-Ar-Dee.
Olympics are on, Phelps interviewee.
Again repeating him jumping with glee.

Nothing is right for Papa and me,
Since BB's become a kindergarten enrollee.
Clocks ticking slowly, hands creeping to three
Awaiting Sponge Bob gobbling a Krabby Pat-tee!

Lynn- You are singing my song. I have been running sprout (a cartoon channel) all day since little man started school. at first I thought, oh boy I can watch the news but after three days of sad news alerts I went back to cartoons.

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?......................................

I love this! When my daughter started kindergarten, I missed the sounds of Blues Clues and Rugrats.
Miz Lynn aka/BooBoo Aug 20, 2008, 2:51pm EDT
Sharon - The kids start really early here, August 18th, lots of other kids have to wait til after Labor Day.

Sheila - Yepper another generation, when I arrived home from school I'd make a beeline for Howdy Doody...yikes, that ages me. HA!

Lynn, I just loved this. It's been a long time since I sent my last one off to kindergarten, but I do remember those days. Before they go to school there are a thousand things you think you'll now have time to get to, but then the day comes that you send them off and your mind is a blank and you're lost without their laughter.
Elizabeth H. Aug 20, 2008, 3:10pm EDT
That was adorable. So is the young man.
Carol Lloyd Aug 20, 2008, 3:12pm EDT
Beautiful shot
Miz Lynn aka/BooBoo Aug 20, 2008, 3:12pm EDT
Nana - It's been 20+ years since I sent one of my very own off to school, didn't realize when my grandson started I'd feel the same emptiness..
Miz Lynn aka/BooBoo Aug 20, 2008, 3:15pm EDT
Elizabeth and Carol - Thanks for commenting, appreciate you both.
Christine P. Aug 20, 2008, 3:29pm EDT
Awwwww, I love this poem! You can tell he is ready to head off to kindergarten with that big smile of his!
Miz Lynn aka/BooBoo Aug 20, 2008, 3:41pm EDT
Lindy - The last time I was home I caught Christine (above commenter and my daughter) tuning in to Sesame Street and counting along with "The Count"!

Christine - you can slap me now!! HA!
Miz Lynn aka/BooBoo Aug 20, 2008, 4:09pm EDT
Thanks Reena...errrrrrrrrr, gotta go I can hear the bus, quick turn on Sponge Bob my lil guys just about home. Hee, hee, hee...
Christine P. Aug 20, 2008, 4:16pm EDT
Whaaaaaaa, I loved Sesame Street! You have it right "The Count" was my favorite.
"Sunny day, sweeping the clouds away!" LOL!
Natalie Neal Whitefield Aug 20, 2008, 4:29pm EDT
They do take our hearts and make them their own, don't they? Our "grands" are coming to visit next week. I can hardly wait!
Miz Lynn aka/BooBoo Aug 20, 2008, 4:37pm EDT
Christine - I also heard you humming along to "What a beautiful day in the neighborhood, won't you be mine? Won't you be my neighbor?" Hee, hee, hee.....

Natalie - They sure do. Bet that will be lots of giggles and hugs.
Elaine S. Aug 20, 2008, 4:41pm EDT
I Love the poem ,Brings back many memories to me.
My Grandson always hurried to see (Arnold) after school
Miz Lynn aka/BooBoo Aug 20, 2008, 5:13pm EDT
Elaine - Thanks! Ya got me on that one, I had to look up to see who Arnold was...guess, ya learn something everyday :))
Tonia, who hugs trees G. Aug 20, 2008, 5:26pm EDT
Very clever Lynn. How fast they fill up the space, and how empty it feels when they aren't there.
Tonia, who hugs trees G. Aug 20, 2008, 5:26pm EDT
And what is this going back to school in the middle of August anyway?
Miz Lynn aka/BooBoo Aug 20, 2008, 5:49pm EDT
Tonia - He sure filled up our space.....especially with toys, but I don't mind one lil bit. Yeah, August isn't that pathetic? School shouldn't be allowed to open til after Labor Day...there oughta be a law ;))
Wonderful poem lynn and gorgeous picture. I don't even bother turning the telly on. Roll on next week- all my favourite shows will be back on. have a good day

Great work and as usual an adorable grandson. It sounds like you and papa took BB's starting school harder than his parents.
