                          “Be Original” he says

            “Do something no one else has done before

Add your own thoughts, ideas, topics ”

Yeah, well guess what?             My topic is the same as everyone else’s

            But if you want originality, here ya go

Pears are my friend

            As are bananas

They hold my hand in the darkest of times

                        All fruits do in fact                  They’re naturally supportive

            But that squash

It mocks me with its yellowness

            Like it’s going to act as sweet as the banana       and then,

                         BOOM!

Oops, I’m squishy like baby food and taste like…

              What?

Did you like it?    That was me

            Hope you don’t mind the confusion at the end

    It happens a lot

 This “thinking” that jumps in my head

It’s a bad habit      To be this strange

And,  my mind,      I wonder if it’s as original as I hope it is
