Nonsense

By Andrew R. Duckworth

I breed rattlesnakes in the wild.
They race those little legs
To the trough and gobble up slop.
I sold insurance for it once.
The Apples at the bank
Sold me a box of salad
And I thought to myself-
“This car isn’t red!”
When I was a child,
My left leg was ripped off
By an alligator.
It grew back overnight
But I still let the trees
Run the race in my stead.
But, and this is most important,
Government can solve all problems.
