Poetry

So much of life depends upon….

Bare necessity

To the toilet paper that is often forgotten:

So much of my life depends on you,
You are white, fluffy, and ply of two.
Thank for you always being around
Never lose you sense of being wanted
You are needed by many
And everyone knows it
Because when you are gone

Everyone

Wants

You

There.

My best friend, Turtle Bear

To my turtle bear,

You have been there through thick and thin,

From broken hearts to skin shins.

You are not like most animals

And everyone can tell

You have a purple bear body

And a green turtle shell

To me you are just a friend

That will always be there

Through thick and thin

Broken heart to skin shins.

I Am

I am large and rugged
I wonder who is brave enough to cross my path
I hear the sound of the ocean calling me to sea
I see my men plundering a nearby ship
I want all the booty in the world
I am large and rugged

I pretend to care about my 14 wives
I feel the ship rocking back and forth
I touch my bows tied in my thick beard
I worry about the Navy catching up to me
I cry knowing that my life is at risk
I am large and rugged

I understand that I am the meanest and badest pirate
I say that everyone should fear me
I dream of receiving my Letter of Marque
I try to be the only ship at sea
I hope that the next ship we plunder is full of treasure
I am large and rugged
