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

Dear David, this is wonderfully original. For me, it is encouraging to think outside my usual train of thought. I am not one who thinks poetry has to be a comic strip or a laugh a minute. Worse, “cute”. Babies and kittens are cute or Mother Goose rhymes. You have wit and adult creativity! Five star review. Have a good day! Pangie
