(25) March 20, 2010: A Sip Of Something Sweet

A SIP OF SOMETHING SWEET

I took a sip of something sweet
Before I'd asked "From whom?"
And suddenly my wheels were feet,
I mean my feet went zoom

Like wheels and raced me out the door
And off the nearest cliff,
And falling fast my arms went, "Roar!"
And turned all rigid stiff.

My nose grew long and pencil quick,
Myelbow-engines fired,
And just like that I threw up sick,
As was, I knew, required.

And then a sonic boom went, "Boom!"
And everything went black.
I must have landed in my room
Because I see I'm back.
