Polo Poem (a grey rabbit poem)
1 polo, 2 polo, 3 polo, 4;
5 polo, 6 polo fell on the floor.
7 polo, 8 polo, 9 polo, 10;
Packed by the factory men.
11 polo, 12 polo, 13;
Were stolen by the factory feen.
14, 15, 16 more
The factory women hadn’t seen so much mint before.
17 polo, 18 polo, 19, 20;
The floor walkers announce that would be plenty.
‘Add another 3' called the suppliers
‘We don’t want to appear stingy with the buyers.’
So the factory worker counted again.
Boxing polos by the 20 plus 3; packing and stacking in a warehouse lane.
Waiting for the arrival of the delivery train.
