Answer 1

Answer: Nonsense

Never-ending tales of woe

Obnoxious chatter in my ear

Ninjas dancing in the snow

Silly things that make me cheer

Eccentric ideas that flow

Nothing here makes sense, I fear

Silly, silly, silly, though

Eccentricity is near

Fooled You

Fierce unicorns galloping in the rain

Octopuses playing piano with their tentacles

Owls screeching out a rock n' roll refrain

Llamas riding bicycles in circles

Elephants surfing in the ocean waves

Dogs driving cars through busy streets

Yaks yodeling at the moon's rays

Unicorns singing sweet, sweet tweets

Chocolate Cake

Chewing on candied apples

Heavenly smells wafting up

Outrageous flavors in my mouth

Coconut sprinkles in my cup

Outstanding treat, North to South

Luscious, chocolatey goodness abounds

Appetizing, can't put it down

Kicks my sweet tooth up a few rounds

Eating this cake, my happiness astounds
