NaPoWriMo #21: Perfectly Flawed or “Misfits”

April 20, 2010

A bald eagle suffers from acrophobia,
A penguin is running hurdles,
A skunk sprays on new perfume
For a hyper impatient turtle.

A square run circles in an octagon,
A lion suffers from laryngitis,
A grizzly bear is a vegetarian
A jellyfish has dermatitis.

A polar bear is no longer bi-polar
A laughing hyena is depressed,
A hedge hog won’t go in any caves,
The sun won’t sink in the west.

A kangaroo bought tap dancing shoes,
And a turkey wants revenge.
Tarantino’s in a romantic role
Without action and the cast of “Friends.”

Teabaggers put acid in their tea,
Church goers bring guns they own,
The Brooklyn Bridge is looking for a buyer
This is the Misfit Twilight Zone.

    That was fun – then again, in a parallel universe…

    I like it that you’ve taken the prompt to extremes, specially the skunk trying on perfume!

  3. admin Said,

    Thanks, Stan. These animals inhabit the same universe as the Island of Misfit Toys!

    Thanks, friend!

  4. admin Said,

    Thanks, Vivienne. Kind of thinking of Pepe LePew from the Warner Brothers cartoon!

    Happy Wednesday!

  5. Dan Rako Said,

    Put a turtle on her back– you’ll see impatient!

  6. admin Said,

    Or a turtleneck on an ostrich!

    Thanks, Dan!
