That's the family way

Boom, cha, Boom Cha
Engine throb.

Swish splash swish splash
Fishing bob.

Whack bang whack bang
Hammer job.

That’s the manly way ……

Ooch ouch Ooch ouch
Nurses swab.

Sizzle splat sizzle splat
Cooking hob.

Grrr whinge Grrr whinge
He’s a slob.

That’s the womanly way.

Boo ho boo ho
Crying sob

Slurp sip slurp sip
Jelly blob.

Whoosh splat whoosh splat
Tennis lob.

That’s the children’s way.

Brava! An out-of-the-box

Brava! An out-of-the-box poem! Boom chucka boom! Love it! ~A Words must be used like stepping stones: lightly and with nimbleness, because if you step on them too heavily, you incur the danger of falling into the intellectual mire of logic and reason. - Balsekar
