David Pennington Poet Parallelismus Membrorum

Nobody Else Can Do That

I can take my nose off my face and put my it between my fingers 
It does not drip, or sneeze, nor do boogies linger. 
I can also put my nose back. 
Nobody else I know can do that. 
I can wiggle my ears when hard I try. 
My ears wiggle so fast I can almost fly. 
My ears flip and flop and dance all around. 
I can feel my tip toes lift off the ground. 
Well its not so hard to do you see. 
And nobody else can do that but me. 
I can roll my eyes about. 
From side to side and in and out. 
Around and around and up and down. 
Until my eyes see so far that anything can be found. 
One hundred miles or more I see. 
Nobody else can do that but me. 
My feet can move as fast as cat’s paws 
And put to doubt Newton’s three motion laws 
And I can jump so high that my head touches the clouds 
Then when coming down I turn flips times three 
Nobody else can do that but me 

 
David G. Pennington
