PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Testy and Cozy were lying upon the tall summer's

grass

when a confused Testy turned to Cozy and quite

shockingly asked

was it me or did I just hear you gasp

why yes, as a matter of fact I just did

for I just seen a child with no head walk by

Testy was quite savvy quick to reply

you must be mistaken or surely you lie

Now, why would I do a thing like that Cozy

shrieked Why? Why? Why?

why, I even wish it weren't true but

the naked truth I can not deny

it was a boy I think about yeah tall

with jeans cut off around mid thigh

well, was he wearing a shirt,

no, for I remember noticing he was cut

clear through his middle

oh, now THAT sounds like it would hurt

Testy, this has really become a raw little

riddle

and one Cozy that must soon be solved

well then, lets go quickly and question

the only other party involved

Excuse us young Lady but we have to know

just who's your headless friend?

who? she asked

oh, him! pointing to her suppose to be

friend

he's nobody

I mean he's not real

its just a department store mannequin

I found it while jogging by the local

Park's trash bin....................
