Please let me out of this Jack in the box
My spring is tightly wound
So kindly grab the lever
and just spin it around
Soon I'll pop up sprightly
but surely with a frown
Then I'll gasp for some fresh air
before you stuff me way back down

A tower of petals is not built to last,
but a Tower of Pizza can

The Statue of Liberty symbolizes just that
Yet she doesn't even have a free hand

The colloseunms were where the masses would go
To watch the most unholy acts unfold just for show

Churches were built to help the poor and the lame
But they were also quite fond of sentencing women to flames

The great Wall of China can still be seen from space
But it couldn't even keep Genghis Khan out of the place!

The Yin Dynasty should be really be red in the face

And so should the whole human race

All around your blueberry porsche
I saw a bunch of people
And oh, the fun you were having of course
****! What a weasel

Transparent yet veiled
With tendrils cloaked in daggers
Jellyfish mingle

When the last tree falls
And the seas swell with plastic
We'll have done our part

I wish I could write a great piece and then chill for a few

Instead of scrounging each day to create something new

Every poem I write literally makes me jones for more

Is it the poet or the addict in me?
I really can't be sure
