Bogo Boy
When I was born
I was adorn
With parts in pairs
For here and there
And being male
Two nuts to scale
Due to a sale
A two-for-one
Then I inhaled
Into two lungs
Yet with one tongue
Let those lungs wail
When I began
As a new son
The BOGO plan
Was the bargain
By-one-get-one
Like my two ears
And their two drums
Yet twice the tears
From two squished thumbs
And I’ll be clear
I’d opt for one
Or maybe none
I got two arms
In that twin deal
Great on the farm
Not at a meal
Two hands on arms
Stuffed my tummy
With chicken parm
And lots of honey
Since my mummy
Made food yummy
Though meant no harm
I felt crummy
I got two knees
And two kidneys
But tell me please
Couldn’t they part
With one more heart
Two hearts would be
A cause for glee
Don’t you agree
Then I’d restart
This work of art
And reach eighty
Or that times three
I got two holes
Flanking my nose
Where fingers go
For nearby strolls
Thank god my toes
Stuck on two soles
Way down below
Can’t reach those holes
Boy that would blow
Yet when I doze
Who is to know
Where toes repose
I have two thighs
Made just for guys
A pair of eyes
In just one head
Which makes me dread
As not too wise
And so they’ve said
That I’ll drop dead
Since hooked on meds
Plus over fed
On pies and fries
And yeasty bread
I got two feet
At half the price
Two sets of cheeks
One for a seat
They say is nice
Two-for-one’s sweet
And can’t be beat
For parts seem cheap
When they come twice
But don’t you cheat
If not complete
To get parts thrice
