AMUSEMENTS

By Ron Beathard, Army

Writing Type: Poem

There are certain items
God created for His own amusement:
Apple pie, octopi, and hippopotami,
Roses, noses, and toes' es,
Bronto-, Stego-, and Tyranno-saurus,
Mermaid, lemonade, Tiddlywinks played,
Fluglehorns, unicorns, and ears of.
And love.
'Now let me see what they will do
with that!' He said.
