THE GIRL WITH MANY EYES
One day in the park
I had quite a surprise
I met a girl
who had many eyes.

She was really quite pretty
(and also quite shocking)
and I noticed she had a mouth
so we ended up talking.

We talked about flowers
and her poetry classes
and the problems she'd have
if she ever wore glasses.

It's great to know a girl
who has so many eyes
but you really get wet
when she breaks down and cries.
