Words are weird
My shoe has a tongue
but can’t talk.
All it can do is walk.
My nose has a bridge
you can’t cross.
Which leaves me at a loss.
My eyes have pupils
you can’t teach.
What’s the purpose of each?
My ears have two drums
you can’t play.
What kind of drums are they?
What weird things words are —
they have too
many meanings by far!

Australian Children’s Poetry 
So clever, and brief too. I’m sure children will love it! If I was compiling another poetry anthology, I’d certainly consider it.
Fabulous! Witty and fun – thanks James 🙂
I enjoyed this poem!
