Sample:

The Me Everyone Knows

Sad, confused, and bored.

Very often. Never laughing.

I often can be heard complaining, “I hate my life

and everything about it!”

Looking in the mirror I can see:

My bald skull as smooth as swatches of silk,

Red eyes as large as satellite dishes, with eyelashes yards long,

And a pug nose that even a bulldog would be proud of!

Overlooking a crystal clear lake, my palatial home sits on top of a hill

Where nothing but wildlife ever comes into view.

Fresh air, pure as driven snow wafts through the many wide windows.

My parents visit me hear often because I am an only child.

And they miss me dearly; so much they

Bought me a Lamborghini to run around in.

Want to ride?
