Sestina

1. State

2. Orange

3. Pineapples

4. Phone

5. Tooth

6. Money

 

I was in a state

Of shock, everything went orange,

Steve-o wacked me in the head with a pineapple,

Then he got on the phone,

I was missing a tooth,

It was going to cost a lot of money

 

I don’t know where I was going to get this money

We left the Garden State,

Back into New York to get a replacement tooth,

I wasn’t able to eat anything and Steve-o kept tempting me with an orange

My mom got on the phone

With me, “Wherd’ you get a pineapple?”

 

Who cares about the pineapple?

The real issue was where was I supposed to get the money,

I got back on the phone

With mom, the state

Will pay for now, the eyes of the orange

Were all over me, It would be mighty hard to eat without my tooth

 

The size of the fake replacement tooth,

It was the size of a pineapple,

And it was a shade of a yellowish-orange,

Almost like the dentist knew I didn’t have the money

The operation, so he gave me an awful one so we didn’t owe the state

Too much, I wanted to let my mom know but there was no phone

 

Who needs a phone,

It is not worth it when I could tell people through my own teeth

In person, I got friends all over the state,

I got one friend that lives under the sea in a pineapple

Whose name is Spongebob, But that trip costs a lot of money,

Maybe a phone is as important as the Bowl of the Orange,

 

It is a very important game the Bowl of the Orange,

At halftime they give away the new Samsung Instinct Phone,

That costs a lot of something I don’t have money,

That incident with the tooth

Really had me spent, My baby girl wasn’t able to have her daily helping of pineapples,

Too bad I didn’t get the tax refund from the state

 

A money tree would have been my new front teeth on Christmas

Instead I god a bloody Envy 2 phone in orange

Spongebob invited me to his pineapple but I couldn’t make it and he is illegal in the state

the story of his life
