Agnes by Tony Cochran for February 08, 2022

Being able to rhyme, you lack….

Trout presents the truth a she wants Agnes to sees it, all Agnes has to do is spin back.

“I wanna be a poet, but I’m nothing but a hack.”

when it comes to soup bones in a skin sack

i’m the tops, the pink cadillac

“If you laugh at me, I’ll just grin back”

Shin snack. Doggie’s delight.

Give me my money back?

And hit the road, Jack!!

Just write “small thighs” instead. It makes an equal amount of sense.

she’s a bundle of bones,

with great big feet

and a little thin back!

…because I have thin thighs.<-for Agnes. The original version fits me to a tee,that is why, I am not filled with glee.

Don’t wonder about the why / Just look at your thigh/ and sigh.

“Thin crack”… Well, it follows, if it’s a couple of soup bones in a skin sack… ☺

“I’m sad today… I’m filled with woes / Because of my enormous nose.”

I thought only men/boys had a skin sack to hold their bone.. and I believe old ladies develop skin sacks.

I’m full of woe, my skin is a sack

I hope I don’t have a heart attack

" I’m still too young to develop my rack".

“I also have a thin rack”

Hey, don’t jump on me; I’m just trying to be helpful.

Here, Agnes, try this on for size:

Size Sighs

I’m sad today,

I’m filled with sighs,

Mostly because

I have big eyes.

I also have

A great big nose —

But where’s my mouth?

Nobody knows.

I’m sad today / I need a snack. / My legs are bones / in a skin sack.

I think Old English for the body is “bone locker.” She ain’t far off.

Brain lack.
