GOURDS
By Nick

Gourds are as bumpy as the back roads,

And can be as odd shaped as a half-cut tree.

They can be tie-dyed enough to be a hippie's shirt

Or as plain as a white board.

They're big as a CAR

Or small as a pea.

This is a gourd I hold in my hand.

I see no other for this is the only one of its' kind.
