SPONGING POEM

[Katnmaj@aol.com]

WELL IT HAPPENED ONE DAY LAST WEEK
AS IS WAS RIDING DOWN THE TRAIL
I WAS AT A RACE CALLED LONG LEAF
WHEN I NOTICED A SPONGE THAT FELL

THE SPONGE WAS THAT OF GLORY
ALL WRAPPED IN "SPAGETTI STRING"
MAJIK AND I CAME TO A SCREACHING HALT
WHEN I SAW THAT AWESOME THING

AS I LEANED DOWN TO GRASP IT 
A CALL BECKONED FROM BEHIND
A LITTLE VOICE OF CHEERFULNESS
THAT I HAD MADE SUCH A FIND

THE VOICE WAS THAT OF ANGIE'S
THE "BEST" SPONGER ALL AROUND
SHE ASKED THAT SHE MAY HAVE BACK HER SPONGE
THE ONE THAT I HAD FOUND

NOW I BELIEVE I'VE EARNED IT
SOME CREDIT'S DUE TO ME
WITHOUT THAT FATEFUL FIND
A SPONGER SHE WOULDN'T BE

ALL WHISKED AWAY IN GLORY
THE WINNER OF THE PRIZE
CAN'T EVEN HOLD ON TO A SPONGE
SHE'S TOLD A BUNCH OF LIES!!!
