Long Fill out Poems

7. Playing With Fire
My mom IS quite clear on the dangers of fire,
But if boy'S hooked on flame, then it'S hard to obey,

from tree (Fate’s collusion?), our edifice grown

Nor in a hamburger ham need be there,
Where's pine, apple in pineapple, I beg?
Nor yet french-fries in France invented were.
They native are— American pure blood,

Poked by useless needles
Jabbed at by doctors
