A Chain of Unwrapping

List Poem

I open the labradoodle and out came an oatmeal cookie.

I open the oatmeal cookie and out came the powdered sugar.

I open the powdered sugar and out came the painful cavity.

I open the painful cavity and out came the expensive dentist.

I open the expensive dentist and out came the blissful Novocain.

I open the blissful Novocain and out came the crystal sea.

I open the crystal sea and out came the salt waves.

I open the salt waves and out came the cobalt blues splashing out.

I open the cobalt blues splashing out and out came the wiggly sturgeon fish.

I open the wiggly sturgeon fish and out came the exquisite caviar.

I open the exquisite caviar and out came the bubbling pink champagne.

I open the bubbling pink champagne and out came the chocolate covered strawberries.

I open the chocolate covered strawberries and out came a night of romance!

I open the night of romance and out came a sledgehammer of a headache.

I open the sledgehammer of a headache and out came lifesaving Tylenol.

I open the lifesaving Tylenol and out came a sour stomach.

I open the sour stomach and out came the tasty ginger ale.

I open the ginger ale and out came the burping monkey.

I open the burping monkey and out came the rainforest of bananas.

I open the rainforest of bananas and out came ripples of a Poison Tree Frog.

I open the Poison Tree Frog and out came the tiny spotted beetle.

I open the tiny spotted beetle and out came chestnut wood chips.

I open the chestnut wood chips and out came Mother Earth.

    A great poem form start to finish. Really liked the structure and it made me think of those days when secret Santa and progressive presents were all the rage. Left me wondering what was next. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
