A Poem for Sunday Muse #98


The House of Eyes 

Come one come all clearance sale today 
Take one take two take more home today 
Brave souls gave their best, children eating 

Hang them on your walls impress your friends 
Marbleized animal or human 
Come with faces, pretty or toss them  

Products  not suitable for eating 
Dry frozen ready for implanting
Some countries prohibit importing 

As is, absolutely no returns 
Be the first to have them on your block 
Envy of your neighbors-buy some now

You can tell me.

  6. I like the humour in your poem, Jim. I hope I can come up with something. It looks like a wall of sadness.
