He planted seeds on top of his head
after his hair fell out
and hoped that with enough sun and water
orange tulips would begin to sprout.
When one day his eyes absconded
he put two marbles in their sockets
and made sure that he always had spares
which he carried around in his pockets.
He put jug handles on the sides of his head
after his ears went missing
and used asparagus to replace his departed lips
though it wasn't much good for kissing.
He stuck a big dill pickle on his face
after his nose ran away
but when his tongue disappeared he didn't replace it
for he had nothing he wanted to say. - Jeff Barnes
