Ode to Tenshi No Yami

Oh Tenshi No Yami!!!!
You are the tallest,
And best,
Of my friends.
Oh how big your brain is!
It is the size of Texas,
All forcibly put into your head.
With all of the matter,
Squeezed into a normal sized head,
Does that mean that it is dense,
Therefore making you dense?
I am just kidding.
You get things
That I don’t.
I don’t get a lot though….

Sometimes.
Your hair reminds me of iced tea…
Like the kind I am drinking now,
But I doubt it tastes even remotely the same.
(Don’t check either,
That would be nasty….)
And your eyes remind me of chocolate.
The dark chocolate that isn’t as good as milk chocolate.
I would worry if your eyes looked like milk chocolate though
Because that would make you look sick,
Or like you have a cataract.
But you don’t.
We are also opposites,
My big buddy.
Like black and white,
Or
Cats and dogs…
I am the dog person,
And you are….
Well,
actually you are more of a dog person too,
So in that way,
We are not opposites…
But that disproves my point,
So please ignore that.
...
So this is my ode to you,
Tenshi No Yami
My best,
And one of my weirdest friends.
