A poem dictated to me over the phone by Charlie, my nephew.

There was a river that was really shallow

that everyone who did cannonballs in it

would end up in the emergency room.

So the river was so shallow that one day

it was low tide in the river, and it was empty

the river was, and someone broke his arm

and was eaten by a crocodile. Then one day

the king did it, and he was eaten too, but not

by a crocodile. It was his imaginary friend.
