Calvin and Hobbes
Cinnamon Synonym
"Alright," Calvin said. "I got this. I got this, I can do this. Just need to think."
He gripped the pencil. Placed the chipped graphite tip against the lined stationery and began to write.
Saigon and Ceylon are species of cinnamon
Cinnamon grows from Ceylon to Saigon
Tsunamis threaten many who are Trinidadian
And sandstorms imperil many Yemeni men
Sinetic kinematic effects are quite worrying
Especially if you work at the five-sided building
Their sinus cavities must constantly be aching
So they drink scotch on the rocks to minimize suffering
Slenderman's footsteps terrify gentlemen
But schoolgirls flock forth to enter his herd
Nature's sure played a cruel trick on those girlies, man
Bugs and girls may as well be a new cinnamon synonym
Calvin gritted his teeth. Looked at his work and couldn't help but wince.
He crumpled it up and threw it over his shoulder, left shoulder for good luck. Then he got up, went outside, and tried to forget what he had just attempted to do.
(This piece, being fanfiction, is highly derivative
But still maybe I should just restart, begin again
Horrendous iambic poetry is quite menacing
Especially if English is not quite your mothertongue!)
