PUDDLES
Timmy Tidewater taught me why
It's hard to like a smelly guy.
People picked on him always
I did not know why that day.
Until I sniffed a sewage waft
All the others at him laughed
Horror! Horror! Fiddle and fuddle
Under his chair was a urine puddle.
Two weeks later: plug my nose
My intestines nearly froze.
Fled the spider, cockroach, ants
Timmy Tidewater pooped his pants.
Janitors came rushing in
Plugged their nose with a crisping pin
Disgust proclaimed was not subtle
Next to the pile lay a vomit puddle
"You're a stink bomb, waste of space
And you have a big fat face!"
Nolan Knickerman, with a knife,
Wanted to end Timmy's life.
"Call the deans in, get him out!"
Timmy's friend began to shout.
Security began to scuttle
Timmy lay in his own blood-puddle.

What a surprise, I wonder just what it could be
Oh darling thank you what a lovely

I love my bright green Welli-boots,
with frogs eyes by the toes,
I love to jump in squishy holes,
and try get
Ponder Puddles
A dim sky and a darkened room,
The rain stops drizzling down.
From childhood delight to adult gloom;
The puddles
