This is a poem written by a friend of mine who wishes to remain anonymous. I love this poem because anyone could have written it. Not a lot of time was spent on it, he never writes anything, there isn't some big underlying message...yet it's based on a model everyone knows, so the rhythm is there and the rhyming is easy. If you are wanting to try writing, this is a good model to get you started, because although this is simple, it cracks me up every time I read it. Maybe I just have a dumb sense of humor. He calls it Dumptruck and it goes like this.
Roses are red
