Results of writing rhymes at 11:18 pm

The outfit I've chosen is past compare,

It matches right down to my underwear.

All who behold it break into song,

Their admiration is far from wrong.

I walk down the street to a chorus of praise,

The beauteous subject of everyone’s gaze.

I’m less than what is called ‘average’ height, 

But this doesn’t diminish my dazzling light.

Wherever I travel I draw a crowd

    of people pointing and gasping aloud,

But little do they know, beneath the clothes, 

I’m really ten rats and a kakapo. 

(We are touring New Zealand.)

sorry XD

    Funny!! How did you think of the rhymes? Rhyming is so hard for me!

    I was reading a book of poetry (The Random House Book of Poetry for Children) before I went to bed, so it was floating around in my mind :)

    Dear Lord, please put your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth.
