my favorite page in Poor Richard's Almanac
A vibrant assortment of titillating facts
pixels aplenty, and absorbing fast. . .
Charlie's grin is a red flush on my throat
hollow as his head is, it'd hardly float. . .
But with sugar rainbows in a chocolate moat
Pour the milk honey, while I ponder this quote. . .
Put Hari the hairy Cat out with a note, and
deep in the context of this random toast,
Breathe honey, just making sure you're listening. . .
Author notes
Not a real page, just going along with the wordbank.
I'm wondering what I could have done with the other option.
Ohwell, this'll do.
I used a variation on the word breath, is that alright?

I love the second verse. So nonsensically delicous.
His head rises out of he paper and he takes a sip of morning java.
"By two,honey. You will be happier that way."
Head returns to the news.
Love, Tom B.

I think you're being too hard on yourself. This has a fantastic rhythm to it. Excellent use of the word bank and superior metaphors.
I don't know why, but the last line gave me an image of a married couple at the breakfast table. The woman is just spouting off random stuff because she knows the hubby's not paying the least bit of attention.
I know, I'm weird.
Have some clappy dudes, and good luck!

Jin, please it read again, dear.
It's brain damage I fear.
Ninth line has the word 'hair'
It describes that cat there.
Take this comment with glee
Knoweth I kiddeth thee.
