When Dragon's Sneeze

You found a little friend.

He had a little tiny ego.

It talked in third person.

She looked over her shoulder one day.

A little tiny tick was teaching a little tiny math class.

‘Squeak’ said Otto the tick.

At least you could have sworn..

Still, every dog passed his exam.

 

 

So you got a fire in your belly.

What do you do?

You drink up all the water in the lake.

 

You got some gum stuck to your shoe.
What do you do?

You stick to your plans.

 

When life gives you lemons.
What do you do?
You cure Lyme disease, of course.

 

Just to inform you:
“This isn’t a letter ..
It’s an eviction notice.
You’re not in love.
You were only renting his heart.”

P.S I’ve gone to the store for lentils �" please feed Romulus.

 

So you’ve never been to Asia.
What should you do?

First you learn Chinese, then you learn Burmese.

 

You found a dragon in your purse.

What can you do?

You smother him with love and hope he doesn’t sneeze.

nonsense on a completely different level..I like the way you round it off at the end

Too cute and adorably random unless there's some sort of joke behind each part in which case I don't quite get awesome job

[Richard]

thank you very much .. no there's no real hidden jokes or anything I was just trying to write to a kid ..I think ha

This is so WEIRD! Love, love, love. I've never read anyone who writes like I do. Lyme disease, indeed. The bit about the eviction notice is poignant and lovely... I like the way you snuck in something authentic in the midst of the silliness. This smacks of brilliance.

[Richard]

wow, thank you so much :)
Yeah, oh it's exciting I've never read anyone who writes like I do either ... :O

[Richard]

[Richard]

Google is a .... well .. never trust a search engine with a funny name ...

[ms. barrie]

I have to say Ritchie, this is one of the most unique, choice of words, rhyming and concept i've come across in a while on here.

Very whimsical yet drips with sarcasm, and insightful. Really love this, it's a gem of a poem.

thanks for sharing. keep writing :)!
