Balthazar Bumbershoot

Balthazar Bumbershoot had a mouth on each hand
and a shiny gold bugle where a mouth should be.
Most people, as you know,  have two legs
but Balthazar Bumbershoot had three.

He had two eyes under his eyebrows
and two more on either side of his nose.
He had purple fingernails on his green fingers
and green toenails on his purple toes.

He had a horn much like a unicorn
sticking out of his forehead.
The tip of it had a little light
that  at night glowed a bright shade of red.

One day wings sprouted from his ears
and he flew away like a big bird.
He said he couldn't stay here anymore
because this world was just too absurd. - Jeff Barnes
