Trying To Escape the Emjois

Larry was rowing his novel as fast as he could
Trying to escape the emojis from Donner and Good
The evil faces were trying to climb onboard his boat
The islands in the distance remained fairly remote.

How much more can I take? Larry asked the wind.
The wind could see what kind of trouble he was in.
Just keep rowing, but do it double time, she said.
One horse emoji jumped onboard and stood on his head.

If you are going to be crazy, you will have to go said Larry.
But I don’t want to said the horse, whose name was Harry.
Then be good as sliced bread and do what I say, okay?
They had a safe trip downstream that very same day.
