If Ally is your bestie
You will find her loyal to a fault
Even if you’re in the wrong
She will back you in a revolt
Unless that wrong is against her
Then you will find she won’t forget
So, never cross your Ally
Or you will be filled with regret
To keep your Ally happy
She likes lots of food
Don’t feed her anything spicy
It can cause her to explode
She likes real butter
And vinegar on most things
She has a sweet tooth
But prefers savoury things
If she does not get enough sleep
She becomes a grizzly monster
She can be very trusting
Therefore hates all imposters
She’s got a wild imagination
You could lose her to another world
If she doesn’t get time to write
There will be trouble to be told
She doesn’t thrive in direct sunlight
Keep her safe in a shady spot
If she turns red she needs Aloe Vera
You must not let her get too hot
If she gets a headache
It’s best to vacate the house
She will snap at any sound
Even the scurry of a mouse
She can be a little messy
But don’t call her out on that
She excels in other areas
So, Ally will make up for that
Ally is far from perfect
But looks for the silver lining
If you take good care of your Ally
You need not heed this warning

Day 25’s challenge
For Day 25 the prompt is to write a poem “that takes the form of a warning label . . . for yourself! (Mine definitely includes the statement: “Do Not Feed More Than Four Cookies Per Hour.””
Oh, this prompt sounds like fun. My hubby knows that I can be mean if I’m tired, hungry or have a headache. I also love vinegar and I’m very passionate about real food and don’t like impersonators (margarine, quorn and chocolate bars that are really biscuits).
