Baby Back Ribs

The restaurant menu
Said baby back ribs
Which I thought
Was quite the crack

For I have never seen
A little baby
Whose ribs
Were on their back

The Basement


This Basement is quite old
You see
There’s dust and mold
And some debris

The room is very cluttered
And the windows
Always shuttered

The books
From the bookshelves
Cover the floor
So much so
You can’t see it anymore

There are toys
From boys
And clothes galore
But what is it here for

The clothes are ripping
At the seams
The books are
Losing their binding

The toys
From boys
Can’t be ignored
As they lie across
The covered floor

There’s a doll as big as a man
Looking at it makes me bored
But wait
Did I just hear a snore
