Potato Shingles atop my roof
standing in a Banana Telephone Booth
bald hang man standing at death row
catch a tiger by his toe
invisible lamp shade hides no light
watch the tiger, he may bite!
Spontaneous hair bow to and fro
why does the hour go so slow?
This is crazy, can’t you see?
No fluffy fruitcake, not for me!

taken a bite

i'm fruity,
so tooty,
you're not eating,
you just stare.

Really? You did this from a word bank?
It is weirdly and madly grand.

Oh come now... don't you know that fruitcake has
enough preservatives in it to keep you alive forever
and ever? so eat up my Nutty Friend.

This poem is so you, it's funny the words you had to use morphed into an adorable poem. 'Invisible lamp shade hides no light' deep stuff. loved it
-
-
Yeah, the whole poem is deep... not... But, honestly, this is one of my own faves, it was so much fun to write! I love word banks and this is one of the only ones I have written that is funny from a word bank, all the rest are so serious. Yay for funny!
Do a little dance!

Thanks, Porcelain Sky! For some reason, I really like it, too, and it worked out so well to have a hidden meaning (whatever anyone wants to get out of it!). Thanks, again, for the comment. You have so many options, I'm sure you have a ton of different types of work to go through! Have fun! - Kimberly G.

Wow! something about this poem i love. I like how you used all the words in a serious not-so-serious kinda of way. (or maybe thats just me lol) I also liked the rhyming. It worked for this poem. Keep on writing!!!!!
