Space
I thought I'd write a poem today,
but then... you wrote one, anyway
and took up quite a lot of space
that left me just an inch, in place.
Oh well, I pushed your words about
and although pushing made you shout,
I squeezed my words inside the square
and heard you screaming everywhere!
Listen, Bozo, FAIR IS FAIR!
And anyway, I hate your hair.
and your finger
that is pointing at me
and your teeth
and your pink socks.
