Reading the CalPeg's stuff reminded me of something from childhood.
Waaayyyy back when I was about 12 years old I had an English teacher that gave us a list of topics. We were told to pick a topic and write either an essay or a poem about the topic. Since a poem seemed to entail less writing I decided on poem. Since I was a smart-a$$ I picked Odor Eaters as the topic.
So in honor of the DUmp's poet laureate, for the first time anywhere since the late 1970s I present to you 12 year old ChuckJ's very first entry into the world of poetry.
ODOR EATERS
Sometimes when I take off my shoes
my friends get the stopped-up-nose blues.
Spring, Summer, Winter, or Fall,
They all ask how I have such gall.
Footjam!, Footjam! They all cry.
My stinking shoes could kill a fly.
Even though I do have new shoes
to all my friends they're very bad news.
But now my friends are not so mean.
Odor Eaters make my feet smell clean.
Of course they slide into each show.
I think that you should try them too.
