Box

I DECIDED I WANTED TO BUILD A BOX.  SO I DID. IT WAS A CUBE . ALL OF THE

SIDES WERE PARALLEL.  ‘TWAS SIX  FT HIGH AND IT WAS SIX FEET WIDE AND

IT WAS 6 FEET TALL.  I CUT A DOOR IN 1 SIDE, &   I PUT A MIRROR ON 1 WALL

& THEN I PUT A MIRROR ON ANOTHER WALL. & I PUT A MIRROR ON THE TWO

REMAINING WALLS.  THEN I HAD TO PUT A MIRROR ON THE CEILING AS WELL

AS A MIRROR ON THE FLOOR.  IT’S VERY DIFFICULT TO INSTALL A MIRROR IN 

A SQUARE BOX WITH A DOOR SMALLER THAN THE SQUARE. BUT I AM A VERY

CREATIVE PERSON, AND USING POETIC LICENSE,  AS WELL AS A HEALTHY BIT

OF INITIATIVE, I DID IT. THEN I TOOK ALL MY TOOLS OUT OF THE BOX AND PUT

THEM ALL AWAY WHERE THEY BELONG.  THEY BELONG IN ANOTHER BOX. IT IS

A SMALLER BOX INSIDE ANOTHER BOXY ROOM.  BOXES                ARE ALWAYS

SO STRAIGHT.  THEY HAVE CORNERS.  I PREFER ROUND               ,BUT IT IS IM

POSSIBLE TO BUILD A ROUND BALL AND INSTALL A MIR                ROR INSIDE.

I AM GOOD, BUT I AM NOT THAT GOOD!  MY DOOR ISN’T                STRAIGHT, &

I CUT IT CROOKED.  NOW,IT WAS TIME TO PAINT MY BOX.             I CHOOSE TO

PAINT MY BOX ALL THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW. BLUE                ON THE TOP,

GREEN ON THE SIDES.  I DECIDED TO PAINT THE DOOR A                PURPLE RED

AND THEN I RAN OUT OF SIDES.  & I  LIKE MY BEAUTIFUL                BOX, I DO &

SO I WALKED AROUND AND AROUND MY BOX.  IT’S VERY                GOOD THAT

I HAVE A DOOR OR I WOULD GET LOST OUTSIDE MY LOVE              LY CUBE. SO

NOW THAT THE OUTSIDE OF MY BOX WAS FINISHED AND                NOW THAT I

COULD TOUCH THE PAINT, I COULD OPEN THE DOOR TOO                . I TOOK OFF

MY SHOES.  I TOOK OFF MY SOCKS. I REMOVED MY COAT               , PANTS, TIE

.AND HAT. I TOOK IT ALL OFF. I ENTERED MY BOX. FINALLY               , I SEE ME!!     

-----From the Pinckney Currier--Mar 19, 2007
Police were puzzled today
upon arriving at the alleged victim's home.
They found a pile of clothing outside of a multi-colored box.
When they broke open the door
into said box
all they found
was a gold chain
lying on the floor of a mirrored box.
Police questioned
a friend of the alleged victim,
a Ms Ter (name with-held)
who responded she had refused
to enter the box.
Police have no leads
to the where-abouts of the victim.
