Breakfast For Squids

Oooooooh bagels and bread by golly Rumors and ramekins, fools folly This attitude aggregious But a knick knack fecicious Hold a tick, did you say napkins? Not for glass jars and captains A twist off jammed and stuck in a rut Threads on a screw doing all the scut A nail has it easy All smooth and goes in easy But time and hammer gave a chance As long as it was done in baggy pants So a squid with a quiver Full of arrows did deliver Down the narrows did they float But on a paddle not a boat So he ate his breakfast fast And wiped the ink off from a blast Broke open the container It's no crazier than saner Built the shelter speedily With headphones on greedily Balanced atop a wooden oar A raft, no no, just such a bore Not very analytical But we won't become political Since it was a higher ranking tenticle Who made the inky wooden popsicle A little poem nonsensical Where sense is reprehensible

I had a lot of fun reading your poetry, Hat. Thank you. You are able to maintain the interest of the reader from the very first to the very last sentence. And the usage of homophones was not only very creative but also really fun. Blessings
