My official entry:

oh lawn chair
broken and amiss
won't you covet me like I covet you
and tell me of your miss
it was like chalk in the dark
a white against the night
a slippery gooey substance
not to be missed on sight
this image I imagined her in
your miss, oh broken lawn chair knight
if only we could discover we were kin
and live on forever as a kite in the wind
a family house
so unique -
a proud house,
mystique
a questioning house
of drunken debauchery...
a luring, lucid, sudden reason
to rid the world of sizeable treason
wont you tell me of her, finally
for I am questioning if she's even a she...
how do lawn-chairs breed???
