Oh! The Irony

Looking for ironic poetry.

Poetry only.

No prose, please.

No pedestrian rhyme.

Imagery and metaphor impress me.

If the irony of the poem is not apparent, it will be disqualified.

One is about to start College and the other two are close behind. I mean children, not feet. Sounded like I was raising a Circus Freak for a minute there, didn't it?
