7th Grade Poetry

He wanted her like a kid wants candy.
Unfortunately, she wanted him
like a vegetarian wants meat.

I have to say that I think this beats the bacon poem ...
Roses are red.
Violots are blue.
I love bacon.
Mmmmmmm, bacon.

And that's a hard one to beat.

brilliant! that describes my junior high experience perfectly. by the way, were you a vegetarian in 7th grade? then again, i was a piece of ground chuck and you were seeking a filet mignon : )

Glad so many enjoyed this piece! If only my young poet could know how many lives he's touched.
