    Okay, this this was a fun little thing I did a couple days ago. I don’t know if it’s technically a poem, more like a very free verse kind of things. Anyways, it’s funny, so I thought I’d put it up here for y’all to enjoy –

    “Riding the wind” sound fun,

    But wouldn’t it be rather dangerous?

    I mean, no seat belts, so…

    “Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket”

    Save up for a new pair of pants

    When the star has burned a hole through the cloth

    Hello, people, it’s a star!

    As in, flaming ball of gas?

    Can you not see the problem here?

    And while we’re on that subject…

    “Her beauty shone like the stars.”

    Yeah, okay, so she’s either

    A tiny white dot to your eyes

    Or burnt to a crisp in deep space

    Just saying…

    “Happily ever after”

    Why is that even a thing?

    I mean, who thought to put those three words together?

    Just weird…

    Yes, yes, call me whatever you want.

    Pessimist, spoil-sport.

    I don’t care.

    I’m a realist.

    Now would you please step aside?

    You’re in the way of my unicorn.
