Sparky



I met a boy
Sparky
Who was
Full of malarkey

He said he had powers
That could cause pain
And when he had said this
It started to rain

So I said that
Your power
Is simply
To shower with rain

He avoided the question
And asked for suggestions
To name his pet cow

So I said
Call him Howard
But he misheard
Now the cow is called Coward

It is rather strange
For a name
To be Coward
When his cow never cowers

As well as for sparky
And all his malarkey
To have such a power
As creating a shower

He then got a chicken
That was simply named Chicken

Why is it fear
He names his pets here
When his hobby
Is collecting the ears
Of the corn from the field

He promised me a wish
But all I got was a dish
With a small smelly fish

A day with a clone


What would you do
If you had your own clone
Would you take it with you
Or would you leave it alone

One day
Little Katie Carson
Found a clone
Of her own

She gave it a gown
And went into town
They did a small prance
On the way to a dance

After the dance was done
And the fun had begun
They went to the Amusement Park
Where they heard a dog bark

They stood in a line
Which was just fine
So they could get closer
To the rollercoaster

The Coaster shot like a bolt
But not before the previous ride
Stopped with a jolt

They both felt the wind
As they zoomed through the air
And as they flew
They lost all their cares

When the Coaster stopped
They got out with a hop
And from the clouds
Felt a small raindrop

So little Katie
And her new friend
Walked a little farther
Just around the bend

Into the door
Of the Amusement Park Store
Where there was very nice
Pieces of merchandise

Soon it was dark
All through the park
And they were sent away
By admissions man Clark

With tired eyes
And a sleepy head
Little Katie
Hugged her friend
And went to bed
