Poem by Christy Hagan, age 8.
Old Man Marley
Old Man Marley was a strange man indeed.
He claims he's done the boogie with a centipede.
No one knows just where he lives and survives,
Though many say he stays in a giant bee hive.
I can't imagine what will be this man's fate,
for he says he's built a highway up to heaven's gate.
He goes to church every Sunday but not in suit and tie.
Instead he wears purple underwear that he tried to tie-dye.
I really do hope that you never meet this man,
for he may offer to soak your dentures in a frying pan.
Gotta love the imagination of a third grader... I'm so glad my mom saved some of these from my grade-school days. If you thought this was crazy, you should read my short story "Uncle Herbert and the Gold Fish Farm" :)
