A Complicated Poem

by Devin Wolfe
(McCamey,Texas)

Roses are red, violets are blue.
My mom said,"Well good for you!"
I want a cake,
but my mom won't bake.
She says, "You're too fat."
I say, "I want a cat."
she said,"If you want a pet, I'll get you a bat."
"Fine," I said.
Then she went to bed.
Then I got sad,
and she got mad.
"Fine, I'll get you a cat."
Then I went to chat.
I'm so happy.
My mom said I'm too yappy.
Yes, I'm getting a cat.
Thank God it's not a bat!
