A Chainsaw Rainbow and a Floating Castle

~ ~ ~

By Rowan Finley Published 11 months ago Updated 11 months ago 1 min read

There once was a castle,

to get to it, well, it was quite a hassle.

It floated and drifted on the water like a boat,

so there was not much need for a moat.

Above the castle, there was a chainsaw rainbow,

it was far too obnoxious and put on too loud of a show.

I don’t understand how a castle made of thick brick could float with no moat,

and rumor had it that the captain was a lonely goat.

Usually, a castle has a certain kind of queen and king,

not a silly billy goat steering the whole thing!

Well, it’s just a rumor and you know how those can be,

maybe this castle is actually radioactive just like Marie Curie!

Or, maybe the chainsaw rainbow will chop the castle like salad bits,

right where it floats and sits?

It’s a peculiar sight for sure,

it’s just all a little out there and obscure!
