"There's toilet paper on your shoe."
"I'm sorry- is that bugging you?"
The man replied, and turning some,
He stepped onto a piece of gum.
"Be careful- you should watch your walk"
I chided with some quiet talk,
But he, instead, just ground it in
And did a little fairy spin!
My eyebrow shot up just a tad
While watching, thinking he was mad;
And he sure was!- next thing I knew,
The toilet paper on his shoe
Was being waved high in the air,
Then landed 'round his uncombed hair!
...More hair I saw upon his arm,
And thinking it would do no harm,
I mentioned it, but there once more
He acted as he did before-
Instead of chucking it from sight,
He moved it from the left to right,
Then strutted down the sidewalk pine
With toilet-paper turban fine!
And as he left, I did refrain
About the yellow mustard stain;
I figured it would never do
To have a ketchup stain there, too!
Author notes
I commented on "Stressed Out", "Farewell", and "Dancing in the Rain", as well as one of yours, but I can't remember the name of that one. I like rhymes, too- they're much easier to put to music!
Oh, and please know that, as a Christian, I would NEVER go around just calling people weirdos all the time- that's just not nice!

hilarious .. and I have to say, I was struck by the contest itself .. where it said; no killing unless it is subtle? I would have tried for that.. yes! A good subtle killing gets me every time
-
Oh wow, this was funny! It reminded me of the form that Chaucer's Canterbury Tales uses. Very good flow, I almost envisioned in exquisite detail a dancing man with TP for a turban...interesting...what was the motivation for this piece? Great job and good luck in the contest!

Some of this poem actually happened- I just can't remember who did it... It might've been Pastor Steve, but I think it was someone at college or church.

I really didn't expect this to be that funny when you asked me to read this, but I absolutly love it

well could have been worse had that toilet paper been hanging from the waistline after pulling up his pants.
stains and all....brown perhaps? -
