(If anyone knows the name of this studio—and I'm not talking about 4Kids—they did the dub—please tell me. I'm curious.) So what do I own? My imagination, from which these poems were born. SO NO SUING ME! Or pay the price…

Jutting Wires: What's Under Those Jackets?
Sticking out,
jutting out,
many shapes—
Just what is under those jackets?
Look at the waist;
I see many triangles and unnatural wrinkles—
Wires?
Look at the shoulders;
I see thick shoulder pads—
shoulder pads?
(This ain't sports class, people! We ain't talking about American football here!)
Take off the jacket, look underneath—
Where are the wires? They've vanished?
Look at the shoulders…
Aha!
Hidden shoulder pads!
(Or maybe not…?)
If this is the case,
then how in hell's name do they keep those jackets
sticking
out at the waist like that?
How do they keep them
jutting
out at the shoulders?
It's unnatural, I tell you,
unnatural!
Okay, so maybe this one was stupid, too (like none of these are stupid, lol!). Where did this come from? Simply look at Seto Kaiba's Battle City outfit: his trenchcoat sticks out at the waist, and his shoulders—but mostly his waist. And Yugi/Yami Yugi is the same way…but Seto is more of an example of this, and he's the one I was thinking about when I wrote this poem. And it's not just his jacket; his shirt sticks out at the shoulders, too; looks like football shoulder pads. (If those are muscles…)
Thanks to Angel Knight Li and Iteria for reviewing the previous poem/chapter (whichever you wish to call it). And Iteria, I hope you realize you made me blush furiously when I read your review. (The Dragon is not very fond of a red face. It doesn't look good on my gold scales. *snort*)
Stay tuned next time for another installment of Oddities: An Anthology of Crazy Yu-Gi-Oh! Poems!! Thank you, and have a nice day.
