Imitating B With Two Pens In Her Mouth (17th April 2024)

With two pens in her mouth
B grinned and smiled
I said are you a walrus?
Or are you my child?

Perhaps I’m just imagining
That that’s what she did
Because my mouth is too small
For felt tip pens that big

So how could she do it
When I could not hang them down?
I persevered anyways
And looked like a clown

I pushed them up to my gums
But felt them slide right on out
I held them in with my chest
That worked better without a doubt

Maybe I just imitated something
That I wished she had done
I’m sure she put them in her mouth
But why? Just for fun?
