Bumbershoot

Do you like food, learning old words and limerick? Then this is for you.

By Caitlin CharltonPublished 6 months ago 1 min read
I fed gemini and it vomitted this

The goosebump hair is called bumbershoot

They stick up to the clouds like a galoot

It likes to give itself a shave

A close cut is what it crave

just go and ask the bandicoot

<~><~>

I’ve got a tongue called sung

All these flavours had it sprung

It doesn’t matter what passes by

As long as it’s the greasy guy

It likes Asian food from Lange

<~><~>

Christmas trees are nothing new

December time we blow the flu

Expecting eyes are wondering

Where gift wraps went a plundering

Your bank account won’t be missing you
