I don't like Johnny Bravo
I think the guy is a jerk
I know he's a cartoon character
But his smirk drives me bazerk
He lives in my kitchen cabinet
He's been there quite a while
I like things in unusual places
To see them makes me smile 
Do you remember Mouse Trap
And the guy about to dive?
He lives in my refrigerator
And his temp is fifty five.
He stands on a stick of butter
When we use that one he just moves to another. 
I've got Gumby and his friend Pokey
They live above my sink.
Pokey always bothered me
And this is what I think.
I know his speed was very slow
But its his brain that wouldn't go
Gumby fast
Pokey last
Gumby has eyes of red
Pokey however, is brain dead
The magnifying glass
Is from my past
I had a rock collection
Quartz and minerals
Granite and lime
Just turned twelve and was passing time
Soon we can tour
My underwear drawer
I promise you this
Great pictures galore
I've got meds I haven't used
And M&Ms just for me
I've got catnip, one thong, two books
And in colorful rows of three
My unders are folded as neatly
As Giant Underwear can possibly be.

And This Is What I Think

Lovely rhyme, but why all the hatin' on Pokey? Gumby was the one that freaked me out... I mean, what exactly WAS Gumby? Certainly not a man? At least you KNEW 'WHAT' Pokey was... And quite frankly, I can identify with him... I feel rather Pokey today.
But my favorite line is certainly the last... It really IS difficult to neatly fold GIANT underwear... No matter HOW you do it, they just NEVER look pretty.
You fold underwear? I'm losing my OCD touch...
I dare you to make that a theme of your Phriday Photo Phinish Phiesta...pics of drawer drawers that is.
You and 'Heather and Carrie's' Barbie Dolls would get along just fine...I think I am loving this ...taking life out on the toys...therapy.
I'm 'gonna have to give it a try.
I agree with Viki, I want to see that unders drawer.
Do you really have those things hidden throughout the house???
Now searching for green army men to guard our butter. Because that's the coolest thing I've seen all day.
p.s. You are responsible for making me spew coffee all over Miss Pretty Pink laptop this morning. "Chinese binding." Nuh-uh!
EmBee, Gumby learned. Pokey just kept making the same mistakes over and over. It isn't that I don't love Pokey, I just didn't have the energy to put into our relationship.
Viki, Maybe not Phriday Photo Finish Phiesta but perhaps Dear Candid Carrie might answer that question.
Evi, yes I fold underwear. When it gets to be the size of mine you can't fit them in the drawer unless you lay them out and fold them like a parachute.
Mrs. Wilson, these items are not hidden. They are right out in the open. I have shelves right above my kitchen sink with my favorite things right in front of me, Mr. Bravo is really in by the dishes and the guy from Mousetrap really is on the butter. I had my game from when I was a child and everything was shot except the diving man and the mice. The mice are above the sink with my trolls.
I love this. I have things like that at my house, but they're there by accident, not to make me smile!
Carrie,
Thanks for stopping by to see my cute kiddos. I laughed about this post. I too, find things in odd places- but only accidentally.
Here's the link to my post on that subject:

Gotta go fold parachutes- I mean underwear now.
Catnip in your underwear drawer because, hello, that is the only logical place for it! PSHAW!
And, I love that magnifying glass on Pokey!
What's funny is I fold everyone's under ware and mine are all just crammed in the drawer!
I have too much crap everywhere to place cuteness around, so I will just adore your guys.
Love when you but out in rhyme..love. it.
Pokey is stupid, you are right
Do you know that I know the actual person who created Gumby, in real life I do. He is my dad's client and he is old and he was old when he started it and you are right, Pokey is dumb on purpose, they planned it that way.
I'm concerned about the catnip
I love you.
Your blog is funny. Inspiring and honest. Much like I want mine to be.
I have to say though, I was prescribed Smarties as a kid to be my Chill Pill. Or then I called them Happy Pills, they worked, I even had a little container I carried around, I sorted them by color.
I just told my mom the other day, to have things around her art room to make her happy. If the voodoo doll she made of my dad hanging on a paper noose makes her happy so be it. Hang it over your desk (yes they are still married and happy)
Again love the blog, thanks!

LOL Too cute! FWIW, I gave up on folding my giant underwear and just shove it in the drawer. ;)
That is awesome! I need to catch up on your weekend posts but I will do that tonight. I can't wait to read about the perm.
Soooo funny that coffee is spurting out of my mouth!!!
You are so poetic!
I also have M&M's that are just for me- I hide them from everyone.
Making a rhyme is not such a crime, it's the best way to learn about you, but maybe next time you can take a little more care to not tell us about your enormous big underwear. HAHAHAHAHA!
My drawer is full of old lady panties and I like it that way!
Hilarious!!! LOve the guy standing on the butter. I'm going to start placing characters in cabinets too-- I could use a pick-me-up when making coffee/grabbing a diaper/unloading the groceries.
Thanks for stopping by! I heard about your private love affair with my girl, Captain Pork Chops, and was quite intrigued by you!
