The dumb man
Sat in
His stupid house.
The stupid woman
Drove in
Her ugly car.
The ugly man
Talked into
His bad phone.
The dumb woman
Held up the
Bad phone. In the
Smelly room
The bad cat sat.
The dusty breeze blew, and
The dusty air blew.
The ugly woman
Felt dumbly
Her stupid feeling.
The smelly man
Pet the ugly cat
Badly. The saving angel
Visited gracefully.
The stupid woman
Killed it. The ugly man
Killed the angel.
Aloof the
Forgetful man grew
Big wings
And flew in the ok sky.
