What think you of a 'Bourbon Street' poem?

Trapeze girl of the
Stripper joint
Swinging out the window.
Tourists enticing!

$20s tucked everywhere.
$100 bill or three...

Little girl, little girl,
Do you remember me...
Merry-go-round at
Recess...

Hide and Seek at noon.

Costumes and boas
Left behind at dawn...
She wakes her little
Princess,

Packs a little memory...

Crunchy peanut butter
And thick, grape jelly.....

Uh, this was NOT written to be a 'child's' poem...far from it!!!
I'm simply talking to the 'child' the girl on the trapeze used to be....

Good Morning!

This poem had a great twist, and funny too, thought maybe there was a moral behind the poem something like this:

When sharing peanut butter and jelly sandwiches , make sure there's not a boa laying across the back of the chair! There might be more ,to that boa, than meets the eye! Fun Poem Cheers !!!

Why did the chicken cross the basketball court ?
He heard the referee calling fowls

Why did the turkey cross the road ?
To prove he wasn't chicken

Why did the chicken cross the road, roll in the mud and cross the road again ?
Because he was a dirty double-crosser

Why didn't the chicken skeleton cross the road ?
Because he didn't have enough guts

Why did the chicken cross the playground ?
To get to the other slide

Why did the dinosaur cross the road ?
Because chickens hadn't evolved yet

Why did the turtle cross the road ?
To get to the shell station

Why did the horse cross the road ?
Because the chicken needed a day off

How can you say rabbit without using the letter R?
Bunny.

What's green and dangerous ?
A caterpillar with a machine gun !

Need more Corn Whiskey in maaaa Koffee !!!
See Ya Later......♥♥

I liked it, haha. the rhyme was fun and constistent. "Perhaps he forgot or mabe didn't care either way But most children, they get hungry almost every single day If I coulda done it, I woulda sent him this new news" that sounds awkward and forced. "So when they found your body stinkin' of a bit more'n booze Mama took a drag and shrugged her shoulders at the news." news sounds overused. it gets sorta forced. work on meter.

When you write the children's book, don't in clude this poem,
I wonder at people at times.

But the poem is good I like the twist, peanut butter and jelly
a classic.
