Chain Poem

Words: Luxury, Carpet, Exotic, Calculator, Endangered, Bones, Stereotypes

Bones need to work at full throttle,

So I drink water from my bottle

To press buttons on my calculator,

Just as Carole Baskin breeds,

Endangered alligators

Traveling to exotic countries

Makes our family smile,

But it’s a luxury that we should be

Thankful for once in a while

Carpets are here to support our feet

Just as stereotypes are there for us to beat

In an exotic resort

An endangered animal was seen

Enclosed in a bottle by the queen

As she moved the carpet around

More bones were found

In such a luxurious place

She calculated how to race

To get over the stereotypes

Who create such a hype

Joe exotic now in jail

Bottled in because of his own fails

Carpets of green grass filled the fields

Buried beneath the bones of innocence who had no shields

Endangered were those precious creatures

But nothing it meant to the greedy capitalist yields

Luxury was the homes of the keepers

Stereotypes were the men’s on the field

Whose image was tarnished just as wrongdoers

All forgotten and calculated

in a zero-sum game for all our viewers

Watching Joe Exotic all-day

My water bottle is in the way

Endangered animals in this documentary

The bones in there don’t look so friendly

Sitting in this luxurious house

My carpet is shaped like a mouse

In this show, stereotypes are being said

My calculator is already dead
