He battles flu upon the sofa -Wrapped up in a man-burrito. His back it pangs, His head it wangs, His joints crunch like old Doritos. Then sweet and caring -Thoughtful!

The sky is orange. The grass is red. The Autumn leaves are blue! Dare to ask: "What color?" You'll get a glare, Coupled with the opposing hue. Hot is cold. Meek is bold. And tickles really hurt! Bricks are soft, As they float aloft! And the vacuum, you'll find, squirts!... Continue reading
