Gumbo

Gumbo that talks
Gumbo that sings
Gumbo that walks
Gumbo that gleams
Gumbo that stalks
Gumbo that bites
Gumbo I see during the night
Gumbo thats fat
Gumbo thats green
Gumbo that lives
Gumbo that dreams
Gumbo that died at age 53
Gumbo that bought a peice of gum
then died drinking his rum
653 and still weighing down
his size 11 shoe is just being true
the zombie of you will see you through.

Well, if I knew what a gumbo was, I would like this better but I do like the short, bullet-like lines.
