Poem
Boring Pot of Boiling Water by James Thomas Horn (Bolivian, NC, USA) Boring Pot of Boiling Water What would be the most boring thing to write a poem about? How about a boring pot of boiling water? For breakfast, what would be neat to eat? How about oatmeal or maybe cream of wheat? For a long time don't have to try and toil Just bring a bunch of water to a bubbly boil. Mix all your appropriate ingredients in Then start to stir up again and again But if out of pot all water was to bubble That is when you know you are in trouble. To a boil water recently, barely had come Being good old me who has never been dumb Desiring to get my certain sugar high fix All together in pot now would merrily mix. Ended up being a delight which was dreamy All of it seemed so smooth and very creamy Handle was hot and soon hands became sore; Dropped pot and ended up all over the floor. Hunger for peace is still present and must be fed So had a big bowl of Increase Peace instead And that I had to do was pour cool milk on Eat it at the table until war was all gone.
