Talking OT Silly Stuff: "The PGN Man" -- A Tribute to Dr. Seuss' Cat in the Hat...

With apologies to Dr. Seuss...I needed to blow off a bit of adopting mom silly energy/frustration today...

*************************

The PGN Guy...

The phone does not ring,
There's no knock at the door
So we wait for our babies
And we wait, wait some more

We check the computer
And hope for FedEx
But there's no mail today
So we're nervous wrecks...

"Now! Now! Have no fear.
Have no fear!" please don't sigh...
"My place is not bad,"
Said the PGN guy
"We take in so many
Of your applications
And play a fun game we call
"Huge Complications!"

We keep you as long
As time will allow
And kick you back out
And you never know how

We jumble your papers
All up in a ball
And we pass them around
Up and down our big hall

We stamp them "DENIED"
We sort them in piles
We look for misspellings
We misplace your files

"Let us out!" say the Moms
"This is no fun at all
"Let us OUT!" say the Moms.
"We've been in since last FALL!!"

"Now now, you can go....
Go away, say bye bye...
But we'll see you again"
Said the PGN guy
"We're kicking you out
Cause you need to do more
More papers and signing
Just more more more more!"

"Let us out!" say the Moms!
"If we may be so bold!"
"Let us OUT" say the Moms.
'Fore our babies grow OLD!!!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Anyone care to add a verse or two???

I don't have a verse to add know, but wanted to say thanks for the laugh----I really needed it!!!

I'll have to see if I can work on some verses a little later.

This is perfect.

Excelente! I am drawing a blank as well, but am tempted to add something with "pen" and "when in a rhyme ... maybe that will help someone else get going on it!

Oh, PGN man,
Reviewer of my file,
Please let me out.
It’s been such a long while.

“You gotta have patience,”
PGN man exclaims.
“Lord, what is it
With these American dames?”

We now should all listen
To what PGN man's telling.
We now should all know
The importance of spelling.

“And just when you think
That you’ve figured our ways,
We’ll add something new.
Just to cause more delays.”

I don't know that I have this quite right, but you have inspired me. I've been distracted from the wait for at least a short while.

The PGN man
says my file's incomplete,
That just can not be
Thought I had this thing beat.

Checked all my spellings
Drove the notary crazy
Gave my doctor a headache
The whole world's gone hazy!

My documents are there
Can't you take one more look?
They are spotless and perfect.
Completed them by the book.

What's that you say?
You've created a new "rule"?
How could you do that
You silly ole fool.

Don't you know my baby
is growing up without me?
How can you do this
It just shouldn't be.

Do you think these delays
Will deter my path?
That I'll throw the baby
out with the bath?

You underestimate my love,
the commitment I feel.
My daughter and son will come home
Someday they sure will.

So I'll say my prayers
for the PGN man
That he'll grow a heart;
Sign as fast as he can!

LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!

Loved the last stanza in particular!!

And if Dr. Seuss' Grinch could grow his heart a few sizes bigger, I'll bet that the PGN man can too!!

Because otherwise, all us Moms down in Mom-ville will all cry BOO HOO, right? !!!!!

I Loved All Your Rhymes They Were Great And To The Point.
I'm Sure The Pgn Man Will Let Us Out And Not Disappoint.
So With Out Heads Held High With Love In The Air,
Please Pgn Man It's Your Turn To Share.
Give Us Our Babies, We Want Them So Much,
I Just Can't Wait For That Very First Touch.
