Nameless Poem

I wrote this poem after Mom challenged me to write a poem with contradictions in it.




A boy was walking on the street,
A race he's sure to win,
He flew into the city,
Stopping at a farm within.
"Excuse me, I've no time to talk,
For I don't have to go,"
The farmer said.  "It's July, boy,
So now I've got to snow!"

Without some time to ponder this,
The clock struck seventeen,
And suddenly, the purple sky
Had turned a shade of green.
And, then and there,
The boy saw an invisible lion
And also, the carrot tree
Was seeming to be crying?

And then the kangaroos flew out,
(Also a full-grown lamb),
Saying to that potato tree,
"You're just a hunk of ham!"
Then the coyotes turned to him
(The boy's name was Tom),
"We'd better eat you now, my girl,
'Cause you're a nuclear bomb!"

And then there was a war between
The lion and the pup,
An unlucky star shined in his eyes-
And then the boy woke up.
