Sally, the Sword Swallowing Sweetie
Swallow swords of steel
I asked the Swallowing Sally
How does that make you feel?

My tongue likes the slippery cold
My tonsils are tickled pink
My throat nervously shivers
And hopes that it won't kink

My tummy is getting ulcers
And wonders what's the point
My appendix and my liver
Are***hiccup***

We're sewing Swallowing Sally
Who's laying everywhere

Once I had a beau named "Peter".
Peter was a fire eater.
He could always quench the flame.
Alas...the ash boasts his remain.

He was not counting on a blaze--
the backdraft did him in.
Yet I still am quite amazed
by memory of him.

Ahh, Serenity. What are we going to do with you? Rusty, your poem was kind of funny, but sad too. You can find two meanings in it. I love poems like that.

Never be normal!
