I am going to tell you a story about what began, thus .,,,,
our underused garage became a room for rumpus.
Little did we anticipate the rowdiness it would encompass,
when rowdy young children began to rumpus plus plus!
Discuss the matter further we must.
This week Kim challenged we poets to craft a quadrille around the word “rumpus”. This is an almost true story. Only the children have changed. https://dversepoets.com/2025/08/25/quadrille-230-lets-kick-up-a-rumpus/

A place for observations and recording, for writing, images and musing, another place to be.

I enjoyed your almost true story, Sean, especially the rhymes. These lines made me smile:

Ha! Sounds like a good idea for the extra room is getting out of hand.

I guess the idea was to let them have unrestrained fun. It worked!

Kids rumpus by their very existence don’t they. I love joining the rumpus with my granddaughter.

Sean, I like the playful rhythm in this one—it feels like you’re letting the word “rumpus” have its own romp. The way you lean into “rumpus plus plus” makes it sound like the kids themselves are piling on the fun.
