Randomness is Amazing.



Well, I wrote a poem hecka long ago in English that I really liked. I was reading it again and I realized that it wasn't half bad. So I'm going to post it so that everybody can get a chance to read my amazing pea poem! It was an assignment and I had to write a poem in the form of Shel Silverstein. He's amazing. So yeah, here it is. Hehe.

Two Peas in a Pod

There once were two peas in a pod.
And let me just say-they were quite odd.
They both were green,
and they both were mean,
and their names were Chad and Todd.

Every day in their pod they awaited,
for something that was truly belated.
They wanted some friends
for they had only them,
and their time together was outdated

“This pod is so lonely!” they cried.
They both gave up and sighed.
For they were too mean
all they had was fiends
and all their other siblings had died.

So alone in their pod they remained,
silently hoping for a change.
If only they were kind,
I’m sure they would find,
that their wishing was not in vain.

For one day while they sat in grief,
their pod got picked off of the leaf.
They were put on a plate,
getting eaten their fate,
and the whole time they sat in disbelief.

A girl came by and picked them up.
She’d get a good snack with a little luck.
But when put in her mouth,
they were quickly spit out,
and all that was said was, “Yuck!”

Turns out she could taste how mean they were,
and that didn’t taste too good to her.
So now they’re alone
In the trash by the phone,
completely alone forever.

So do not be like Chad and Todd,
though they looked good they were frauds.
Though they were green,
they were very mean.
So please don’t eat two peas in a pod.
