Help! ! Poem by Ernestine Northover

Help! !

Rating: 5.0


'PLEASE DO NOT BEND' was written in red,
on the envelope. That's what it said.
So to pick up this letter,
is a real upsetter,
As when it came through the door,
it landed on the floor.
HELP! !

My problem would be that even if it DIDN'T say don't bend - I wouldn't be able to bend! VERY funny, Ernestine!

Ernestine, I had to read this over three times before it finally made sense to me. But it was well worth the reread(s) upon finally getting it. Well done! ! Brian
