Searching…

There’s an eyeball in my garden.
It lies beneath a bean.
I don’t know how it views the world
or what it’s ever seen.
It doesn’t have an eyelid.
It doesn’t blink or cry.
It rolls around just searching
for its empty, hollow eye.

  1. A Zombie's Dilemma
    by Russ

    Eyeball, eyeball.
    Stoppin' to say hi all.
    Rollin' down the highway
    looking for my mate.

    Sigh ball. Hi ball.
    I found my master's eyeball
    It's hidin' 'neath a rosebush
    inside the garden gate.

    "Why ball, eyeball
    do you hide from I ball?"
    The master needs a matching pair
    to view his ghoulish date.

    Lie all. Fie all.
    He stoops to find his eyeball
    lying among roses,
    hidden underneath.

    Sigh all. eyeball.
    He really out to try all
    ways to keep his eyeball
    for now he's lost his teeth.

  2. There once was a scary old witch,
    The thought of her near made me twitch,
    But she had a nice twin,
    With a similar grin,
    My thought? Which witch was which?
