My Silly Poem

Very, very long ago

And once upon a time

I wrote a silly poem

That had no rhythm or rhyme

The words were really silly

And made no sense at all

And whosoever heard it

Would either cry or bawl

They would all yell at me

And ask me to please stop

But I refused to believe

That my poem was a flop

I made many copies of it

And stuck them on pizzas and pies

But then no one would eat them

And they would attract just flies

So I read it to trees and flowers

And I read it to the skies

I read it to imps and fairies

Who I felt were more wise

They pondered and wondered

At what my poem meant

They had meetings over it

And many a weeks they spent

But since they never understood

They decided not to take stress

They accepted and awarded me

And declared my silly poem the best
