Copped freely from The Nose on Your Face, it’s a satirical look at poetry from Rosie O’Donnell’s blog. You’ll notice, Rosie doesn’t allow commentary on her poetry. I wonder why?

It is morning
the birds have hatched
in the nest
on the porch
so there will be no
bacon and cheese omelet today

freaking chicks, squeak loud
taunting me
I will look for sparrow recipes

My children rise
rub sleep from their eyes
Seeing me, they scream
WHAT IS THAT?
I’ve forgotten clothing
and make-up

They flee to their rooms
the click of locks
and the plea for at least
a mumu and some blush

I pound on their doors
jiggling freely
Reminding them of dead Iraqis
who never had mumus and make-up
or bacon and cheese omelette’s
My stomach rumbles
I leave them with their shock

As I move back to the kitchen
The mumu gently flutters
on my breaking wind
The dog whines and retreats

I wonder what fiber-rich fruit crap
Hasselback is eating
As I snap into a Slim Jim
and consider Sparrow Souffle
