The Lone Boys Brother

Example for my contest :)  

One bright night, early in the morn 
I ate some peas, from a can of corn 
Then I cooked some fish, in my flat gold trimmed bowl 
When I paid too much, for the fish I stole 
Then I played alone, one-on-one 
In my soaking cloths, from the raining sun 
Till someone lost, and beat the other 
And took the crown, from the lone boys brother

Charlie, fun and funny, and a great example for your contest. Oh Charlie my poetic friend, you are taking me far, far out of my comfort zone with this contest theme. But, I will accept your challenge and give it a whirl, a twirl and swirl ~ peace and tranquility _Constance
