Caleb Cabotage

Caleb Cabotage's head is made of cabbage
and he has a big strawberry for a nose.
He has a taco shell for a mouth
and he wears flour tortillas as clothes.

He has pierogis for ears

and spaghetti for his hair.

He rubs tomato sauce in it

when he wants to look debonair.

His hands are fingered citron

and he loves to play the cello.

His eyes are two big lemon slices.

He sees the world in shades of yellow.

He's got licorice sticks for his arms and legs,

so he is quite agile and wiry.

Onions and peppers are his favorite foods,

hence his breath tends to be rather fiery.

He has slices of pizza for his feet

and a giant pumpkin for a torso.

He's not quite sure of his weight

but estimates it at 200 pounds or so.

He has a top hat and walking stick.

On strolls he is quite jaunty looking.

But when he stays in the sun too long

it smells like the whole neighborhood is cooking. - Jeff Barnes
