The bungee is a useful tool.
Anyone that doesn’t have one is a real fool.
It can hold things together.
It can hold things apart.
It stretches and shrinks.
It’s an engineering work of art.
You can jump from a tower.
You can dive from a cliff.
With the bungee’s springy power,
You will never go biff.
Bungees are used for so many things.
Like keeping cargo in the trunk from sprouting wings.
So, raise a glass and say hip hip hurray.
The amazing bungee is here to save the day.

Poetry-Not for Me
I’ve been on Vocal now for over a year and a half. During this time, I’ve noticed a growing trend towards poetry. Maybe I’m old and set in my ways, but that style of writing has never held my attention. Let’s face it, no one in the real world speaks that way.

The Dryads are Calling
They say the forest by Phoenix River sings. Perhaps it is just the wind howling through the leaves, or a particular birdsong. But Percy Fisher knows better; he knows what lies in those woods, and he knows that the forest sings of his demise.

Lol, imagine if someone hangs themselves from a bungee. Their body would literally go through an out of body experience! 🤣🤣🤣
Was that you at the end of the beloved bungee?
You are much braver than I! I'll watch from a far :) Nice rhyme scheme
