Eye Rhymes That Don'T
I choked on a lemon
possessed by a demon.
I coughed and I coughed;
it wasn’t enough.
I called on my mother,
but she couldn’t bother
to come to my aid,
or that’s what she said.
I started to sweat;
the danger was great.
Sweat broke out in beads;
I thought I was dead.
And so I did swallow
as best would allow.
It looked pretty awkward;
I won no award.
Life is cliches,
but loss turns to riches,
for death I had cheated,
a new life created:
from lemons, a twist;
from demons to Christ.
