WITH TRUE
ASSUMPTIVE
WIT,
THE BUMPTIVE
STATE OF
MY PAINFUL
SNIT
ALLOWING
FOR THE TEARS
THAT COME
ALONG
WITH
GHOULISH
FEARS
JUMPING
UP AFTER ALL
THESE YEARS,
THE MAD HATTER
OF PAIN
AND THUNDER
AND RAIN
JUMPED THE
FENCE ON ME
IT HAPPENED
YOU SEE
WITH SUCH A
CRUEL WHACK,
I HAD NO TIME
TO PAY IT
BACK,
AND NEVER
HAVING BEEN
AWARE
OF PINKEYE
FEVER
OR THE SCARE
OF BRIGHT
RED EYES
AND A NASTY
SURPRISE
THAT COMES
TO VISIT
AND SPENDS
MUCH TIME
IN PAINFUL
PRESENCE
AND TERRIBLE
CRIME,
YOU AWAKEN
ONE MORNING
WITH HAPPY
SWEET THOUGHTS
THE USUAL
SUNSHINE
AND PLANS,
ONLY TO HALT
WITH A SHARP
SLICK RAM
CUTTING INTO
THE PRECIOUS
WHITE BALL
THAT HELPS
YOU TO SEE
AND DANCE
AND CRAWL,
YOU BLINK
AND YOU THINK
WHAT HAVE
I DONE,
DID I GET
SOMETHING
IN THERE
WHILE
HAVING
SOME FUN,
WHY AM I
CRYING
TEARS OF
SURPRISE
LOOKING
ASCANSE
AT THE MESS
OF MY EYES,
IT COMES
ON SO FAST
THAT YOU
THINK IT
WON’T LAST
BUT THAT
IS REALLY
NOT TRUE,
A TRIP TO
THE DOC
AND IMMEDIATE
SHOCK
PROVIDES
ALL YOU NEED,
ASSURING
THEM ALL
THAT YOU
TRULY
WILL HEED
INSTRUCTIONS
AND CARE,
SO PLEASE JUST
BEWARE,
DO AS YOU’RE
TOLD
OR THE RESULTS
WILL BE
SOMETHING
AWFUL AND BOLD
AND SO
YOU BECOME
A TENDER
SWEET THING,
TREATING YOUR
EYES
WITH THE DROPS
AND THE RINGS,
TAKING IT
EASY,
FIGHTING THE
QUEASY
THOUGHT
THAT MAYBE
YOU’RE STUCK
WITH THIS
TERRIBLE
FRAUGHT,
THE LESSON
IS SIMPLE
AND I’M HERE
TO TELL,
FOLLOW DIRECTIONS
AND STAY
OUT OF HELL,
GAZE AT YOUR
LOVELY
AND FORMER
CLEAR EYES
WAITING FOR
THE BEAUTY
OF A NATURAL
PRIZE,
FOR ONCE
THEY RETURN
FROM THE
SLASH AND
THE BURN,
YOU WILL NEVER
AGAIN
TAKE THEM
FOR GRANTED,
ROUNDED OR
SLANTED,
A WORD OF
CAUTION WILL
LIE HERE IN WAIT,
TREAT THOSE
BRIGHT ORBS
WITH PATIENCE
AND LOVE,
FLYING
UP HIGH
LIKE THE
OPTICAL DOVE!
