Carly's so wonderful, Carly has legs
Carly has features and carly has hair
She's tall and she's lanky but nothing of frail

She likes to eat pigeons, especially their eggs
she'd eat e'en a pigeon the size of a whale

Carly gets down on her knees and she begs
for something to eat of an apple or pear

Carly sounds very interesting. Great poem, and I am quite intrigued wondering about Carly.

Well, well well...not your best, but you did it, Mister Riverwood. I'm proud.

Ladies and Gentlemen...I must inform you that this poem was a dare made in hopes that his ego would suffer a little damage..*cackle*

  Did it work?

I don't think that I've ever seen Carly described so poetically interesting Mr. Riverwood. . .

and Carly, I don't know that his ego could ever be damaged. . . I mean, it's got a life of it's own!! LOL

Not quite sure of the intent behind, but that it was done at all was good exercise...

What was the dare? To write of Carly, the pigeon eater? Or to write a poem that you felt wasn't quite good? And why must your ego be bruised? You did a good job under all the constraints you had to work with!

carly and I were playing truth or dare...
She dared me to write her a poem with an abc ac ab scheme, using pigeons and whales, but only whales descriptive of a pigeon.

So I did, and I didn't over-extert... it was just a dare.....

THEN she got clever, and cruel, and dared me to post it....
