Poems Are Different, Just Like People
Poems Are Different,
Just Like People
Poems are different,
just like people.
Some get happy, some get sad.
Some get scrappy, some get mad.
Some get snappy, some unclad.
Some get sappy, some just bad.
Some get yappy, some skedad.
Poems are different, aren’t you glad?!
