betteroffbadPoetry is nothing special
if it were, more people would read it
Poetry came to me in a dream
It was wearing an owl costume made of pyjamas
with feathers glued on. Poetry, I said
I know for a fact you have only one pair of pyjamas
and now you've glued feathers all over them.
Only fools ask why, said poetry
It was clearly directed at me
though I hadn't asked anything
Then poetry spread its wings
which had so recently been pyjamas
and coughed mouse bones and mouse fur across the ballroom floor.
