Flittin'

poem by: Chel Scott
Written on Aug 16, 2018

There was an old man,
who lived in a jacket,
but he had to complain,
about the neighbours racket.
The very next day,
he moved into a boot,
but he got pushed out,
by a huge, stinkin' foot!
With his head held high,
he moved into a pocket,
but he couldn't get in,
he couldn't unlock it.
Trying not to dispair,
he moved into some pants,
but to his dismay,
they were infested with ants.
I know this sounds completely strange,
but trust me, I know it's true,
he now lives right next door,
to the 'old lady who lives in a shoe'!
