The world is flat as paper,
Men play banjos on the moon.
Animals are what we call "people"
Forks are really spoons.
Clouds are made of cotton,
Rain is joyous tears.
Zippers are really buttons,
1 month seems like 4 years.
The sun's a big ol' flashlight,
Night stars are Christmas lights.
Soaked can be so very dry,
My width is really my height.
Sardines look pretty comfy,
Smiles look awful sad.
Perfection's all too small for me,
Spots are really plaid.
Style is out-of-fashion
Being popular's so un-cool.
"Play" is all work-no fun,
Wisdom was made by fools.
Many is all too few,
Hello means goodbye,
Running starts to walk,
Laughter turns and cries.
Friends are deceiving enemies,
Lies could be the truth.
Time is really backwards,
So age goes to the youth.
The world seems to be fair,
Everyone with a "second chance",
When will people realize,
To stop staring, and ask to dance.
When life is at it's hardest,
Think of reality upside-down.
Use your imagination for once,
before life as we know it shuts down.
People see the media,
Say they can't live without it,
Really it's a thief of the mind,
A stalker, a liar, a bandit.
Get out and do something,
Stand on your head, run around, and live.
Don't let the living room be your jail cell,
Making you a couch potato, a "T.V." captive.
Become who you want to be,
Not who the world says you should,
Otherwise your another slave to people,
Another stick of firewood.
I'll say one more thing be for we leave,
And it goes as follows:
Live the life you dream you could,
And don't forget to eat your marshmellows..

COOOL!! Still as random as ever! but still has an underlying seriousness which I like even better!! This is one of the things that I admire about you, you know how to portray certain ideas but at the same time still be totally yourself! Well I mean I can do tht too, but not without totally giving my underlying issue away.
Anyway, good luck in the contest! I think I might enter something too! ttyl!
