Random Poem:

My Bum Is Like Corn
Poetry_Lady

My bum, like chickpeas,
 1
is as red as Indian corn
 2
Or, more appropriately,
 3
Native American corn.
 4
It's just as bumpy and lumpy
 5
and when I scratch it
 6
parts of it fall off in kernels.
 7
I've not yet tried it,
 8
but I'd imagine that if I were
 9
to microwave those
 10
bum fragments,
 11
that in two minutes and twenty seconds time
 12
they'd have morphed into their
 13
new delicious form--
 14
delicious, but not for me.
 15
Self-cannibalism is not my thing.
 16
I'm merely a poet with
 17
a bum like corn, but without the husk.
 18
Which I'm thankful for
 19
because then I'd have a sticky,
 20
itchy bum.
