Beautiful butterflies bewitch baby brown bear,
Beside blessed bluejays bobbing between blueberry bushes.

Bedazzled bumbling bear brokenhearted,
Because butterfingers breaks big branches.

But by beginning brisk bravery,
Baby brown bear's behavior benefits beaming biodiversity!

Rapid City, South Dakota 
I always like Fall best 
You can eat buttery pancakes 
From huge Ihop 
And Omelets 
And Toast 
And skillets 
And lots of Reese 
And Butterfingers 
And Twix
At the colorful gas station 
And listen to
Nice relaxing music 
On the hill
At the Mt. Rushmore 
And go to the Corn Palace with 
My friend Troy 
And go to the baseball game
And watch the sunset setting...

 melting snowball 

Fall-out started with the spring-break competition;
Errors were made as team effort slid downhill.
Then when name-calling sparked a partition,
esprit-de-corps broke to a stand-still.

“Butterfingers!” the dig of choice,
sabers, rifles drop in flight.
“Cretin!” answers a voice,
winter guard backbite.

“Bozo, Clod, Clown”
teenage jeers, 
meltdown - 
tears.
