Someone to Something
There once was a boy
quite unpleasant to see.
His name is Elroy,
and he is very ugly.
Elroy is always called names
each and every day.
He is never picked for group games,
and girls never walk his way.
Elroy enjoys eating eggs,
so his breath stinks really bad.
Elroy walks to school with his small legs
wishing he was taller, he becomes sad.
As he arrives to school,
Elroy meets and greets his bestfriend.
Dressed in a v-neck made of wool,
his name is Ben.
Elroy and Ben are in English class
learning about personification.
Elroy uncontrollably passes gas
while the teacher presents her demonstration.
The teacher became mad,
disgusted by what he has done.
Elroy now feels bad,
wishing he would've held that one.
As the years go by,
Elroy is finally grown.
From his toes to his eyes,
he is now strong, tall, and toned.
During Elroy's young life,
he was judged every day.
But now he has a wife
to support him along the way.
Someone to something,
in just a short period of time;
which eventually led Elroy
into a peaceful state of mind.
