The Girl with Many Eyes

One day in a 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 problem 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 break down and cries.
