Mr. Drake's Artichoke Poem by Richard D Remler

..............



Mr. Drake, they say,
Has an artichoke a day.
I'm not certain how he
Manages that though.
Oh, I know a thing
From time to time,
When a something
Taps against my mind.
But this is a something
That I simply do not know.

Perhaps he sneaks
It in his shoe?
Or in a paper
Bag or two?
Or hides it
Underneath his hat?
Do you think he'd
Do a thing like that?
And when nobody
Has a clue,
And the lunchtime clock
Strikes twelve oh two
He pulls it out
When class is through?

Oh, I don't really know.
Do you?
