Bored Billy Benny

Mr. Billy Benny sits, staring at a knife..
As bored as bored can be, in his very boring life.

He dipped a pen in tea - and drank a cup of ink,
The mirror sees him turn into a rosy shade of pink.

He shaved his black hair off - and stuck it on again,
He counted sheep, and 1 to 10, and rusted coins of yen.

He bought a yellow marker and drew pictures on a stone,
He made up jokes himself - which poked his funny bone.


Now, Mr. Billy Benny sits, staring at a knife.....
As bored as bored can be,in his very boring life.

I really like the flow of this girl, the words seemed to bounce off each other so well! Now it's a bummer that Mr. Billy Benny thinks his life is boring, I bet he could have a blast with all the creative things he could do. Good to see a new poem from you girl. :) good one!
