I wanted to write a poem,
just a verse or two for the night.
But I couldnāt find an idea,
nothing just seemed quite right.
I pondered a verse of loveā
but what good would that do?
Iāve written about that topic before,
time to find something new.
A hornet appeared in my thoughts
(There was dead one in the window sill)
a verse of anger seemed fitting
but didnāt give much of a thrill.
I read som...
āCan i take your orderā he said
From the other line
And she thought to herself
A cheese pizza sounds fine.
āIāll take a large pizza
Plain, only cheese
Can I get the thin crust
And with minimum greaseā
The man took a moment

And he said, āyour food will come soon.ā
She said her goodbyes

And hide the tear stains on my cheeks
That was the third time you were late that week
And I almost knew what was going on
But you held me and rocked me and sang me a song
But what was quite peculiar
Was the scent of vanilla on your shirt
But you convinced me ...

We all float down here,
And soon you will too,
Youāll come and join us one by one,
And weāll be a happy zoo!
See, I used to be in a circus,
But then we where all blown away,
Now I cackle down in the sewers,
As I wait for you to come and play
Iām in your bathroom,
Yep! Right down in the sink,
Iām in that old house,
With a smile and a wink!
Come give me a hug!
And c...
