Random Thought



I am a hungry one,
Icebox filled with food,
Kitchen cupboard at my back
A veritable delicatessen of
A kitchen cupboard!
Oh, but I'm a hungry one,
And empty -
    Gnawing
    Gnawing
    Gnawing

I am a naked one,
Closets filled with clothes,
Dresses, coats, suits
And hats and shoes.
Boxes and bags --
What a specialty shop!
Oh, but I'm a naked one,
And cold -
    Shivering
    Shivering
    Shivering

Did you hear?
He ate one salted peanut!
(Huzzah and cheers)
I don't know the fellow,
But we too
Have this together:
I wrote one poem, just one -
    Dead
    Dead
    Dead

I am a dead one,
Bright eyes dancing,
Smile on my lips,
Pirouettes and bows.
This life is a party
And I'm the very life of it!
Oh, but I'm a dead one,
And lost -
    Forever
    Forever
    Forever
