Funnybones

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

In the classroom, a skeleton is on display And is smiling the typical skeleton way. Does a skeleton wear such a non-fading grin, 'Cause it doesn't let problems get under its skin (Since it doesn't have skin to let life's strifes get under)? Why are skeletons always so jolly, I wonder? Could the reason that they are so happy be that It's impossible for them to ever get fat? Or are they unaware of life's troubles and pains, 'Cause they're heartless and, also, are lacking in brains? Well, whatever the actual reason might be, They are constantly wearing expressions of glee. For the rest of us, life has its ups and its downs. Sometimes, we wear smiles; other times, we wear frowns. Yet, even on bad days, it's hard to stay blue When you notice a skeleton grinning at you!You've gotta love them boneheads!!!
