I will dissect your chosen words
apparently all written by nerds
how is a smile like lace?
lace has holes
is he missing teeth in his face?
a strange metaphor in this case
takes me nowhere so I move on in haste

second verse
as bad as the first
"eyes of fire"
his situation is dire
or does it mean he is a liar?
sounds like the devil
is this guy evil?

and the confusion continues
with controversial cues
why would you give the liar
YOUR prayers and desires?
line six says, ". . .life goes on. . ."
line eight says, ". . .time stands still. . ."
the confusion gave me a chill

without examining the ole' luc bat
this pretense of a poem is not all that
sounds like it's written by a 13 year old girl
attempting to sound like a woman of the world
give it a three so maybe you'll grow
much work is needed to make it flow
as it is now it really blows

The contest said to have fun, and boy, did I. Thanks to VMarguarite for her picture, "chalkboard work".
