The Very Weird Day

One day I just lay in my bed, 1,000 thoughts raced through my head. When sadly my mother appeared, The woman I most often feared. I developed some dread, I turned completely red.

From frozen yogurt With gummy bears Saving the red ones for last. I’m from Naomi Galloping around Bologna Town Our made-up fantasy world I’m from 7 grandparents One no more than a step away, While two are in Texas, prickly pears all … Continue reading I’m From
