In a Perfect World

If I could live in a perfect world where nothing would be strange and nothing would be spoiled, Could that be easy to arrange? If my house were built upside down and I entered from the roof, I would be a perfectly happy clown but you would think I'm a goof. The eye of perfection to me may not be what you condone, but I would find happiness if ice cream came in a larger cone. I think it would be 'toadly' riveting if frogs hunted us for our legs and humans would start ribbitting when in our coffee we found dregs. My perfect world would be mellow if I painted it with my brush I could make the oceans yellow and on me all guys would have a crush. Perfection! It's like beauty to the eye of anyone who wants to behold. All you need to do to give it a try is allow your imagination to be bold. <><><><><><><><><><><><> 2/12/16

I really like this, LIn. I just saw a blog Catie did about her dissatisfaction with her entries. I think you showed creativity in your poem. I hope you are one of the few that she really liked in her contest. Not sure I can even think what to do for a contest like this one, so I probably won't get one entered. Good luck, sweetie.

Nope, I wrote one like the others since the Earth IS our world, so I removed it and wrote this off the wall bit. I always wanted to use "toadly" in a poem, so there it sits, on a lily pad., making me sing lalala. Thanks, Andrea.
