I am overzealous,
As moose eat leopards;
Who in turn eat astronauts

I look down and zoom to my pencil,
My eraser has turned to jello
My entire pencil is now a noodle,
With the jello it is a deluxe desert.

I see bubbles coming out of the willow outside,
If I scream in my mahogany binder
I hear a huge echo yelp into my ears.

My teacher asks if
The class brought our luminescent fireflies for show and tell.
