I lost my elbow
Over there
At first it was right here
Retrace the time
I punched a mime
It worked just fine I fear

I'm elbowless into
The night
How will I rest my head
Nightmares attack
Mimes do hit back
Wish I knew what was said

"Where's My Elbow?"
The paper ad
I took it yesterday,
Bends To and Fro
My Loved Elbow;
3-4-1 Tepster Way

"One elbow for
Delivery!!!"
I rushed to get the door
In black and white
His shirt on tight
I nearly hit the floor

He handed me my
Lost elbow
The Mime that I had faught
Now it begins
My arm it bends!
Then I punched him a lot

Elizabeth--->I didn't know there was a Dr. Suess competition, had I known I wouldn't have put this together so hastly and might have taken a little more time wording and structuring.

WHB,
Very cute, indeed.  I am so glad to hear that your elbow was finally returned, and that you punched the life out of that mime!  Not that I'm a violent person or anything!  

Waiting to see more like this, where are they?
