Metaphor poem
Lada da da ta ta!

• The folder is a silent delivery man following you
  home, carrying your worst fear
• The folder is a loud teacher throwing homework
  all over your desk
• It is a cold freezer, freezing fun until it can
  be released with the pencil
• It is a hard safe locking you inside until you
  finish your studies
• It is the homework folder.

• My hair is a greasy sand dune
• My eyes are like Neptune and Uranus
• floating in space except smaller
• My legs are as long as those of tall deer.
• I live in a house
• And play football and basketball.

Lays, get your smile on, yeah!!!

Free VerseSunday in the Bleachers

• The excitement of Cardinals football on Sunday
• A forest of commotion
• I sit on the hard, cold metal
• Smelling hotdogs
• Waiting for a touchdown
• Feeling the soft grip of my Cardinals football
• Imagining the grainy taste of dirt as the
  players hit the ground
• I can almost picture myself looking up at the
  fans
• The ball is hiked once more. It is passed as
  fast as wind
• Oh, an interception
• But he is brought down on the turf like a weight
  falling from the sky
• Just before the 20 yard line
• This time defence comes around, sacked!
• The quarter back rolls on the grass like a
  soccer ball
• And the ball is loose!
• Red and white jerseys pile the ball in seconds
• 2 seconds left in the game
• Its a run
• Tackled!

Personification

• Look at a computer
• Most people see nuts and bolts made into a box
  of information
• But look harder
• and youll see a face, an arm, and a brain
• The face is always talking of stories and facts
• The arm is how you tell him what you want to
  hear or see
• The brain is a storage box
• for any piece of information you can think of
• With all these pieces he is the smartest guy on
  earth,
• the computer.

If I were in charge of the world
Return to index

• If I were in charge of the world Id cancel rules
  and also expense.
• If I were in charge of the world thered be more
  bike ramps, indestructible roofs and monkey pets
• If I were in charge of the world you wouldnt
  have organization you wouldnt have fat cells
• and you certainly wouldnt have movie ratings
• If I were in charge of the world Ladanian
  Tomlinson would be signed to Atlanta
• And a person who sometimes forgets not to run on
  the roof
• And sometimes forgets when not to goof
• Would still be allowed to be in charge of the
  world

Im to big to have a ruler
