Write a poem about some one who would own certain objects.
the objects chosen for ouir group:
a picture of Mary and Jesus, a counter, a business card, a roll of film, a kung-fu fighting electronic hampster toy
woke up this morning
to Mary and Jesus
on the little gold and blue stand
turned on my disco
"Kung Fu Fighting"
got in my wheel and spun it round and round
counting spins with my counter
and twirling my little black nunchucks
preparing for my match against the black belt shrew
I picked up my business card
to hand to any pretty squirrels
and I picked up the film
of my big match against the turkey ninja
in case the people from the news showed up
then I washed my fuzzy face and looked in the mirror
wondering how a purple dinosaur got so much press
or how an ugly duckling got so famous
like the three goats and that idiot Cottontail
I mean come on
I'm a hampster with a black belt
