Perimeter Paul


Perimeter Paul,
Wanted to play,
In his backyard,
What can I say?
Out in the back,
Under a tree,
He found a
green bottle,

And 2 more,

That's 3!!!

Bottles all filled,
With
green syrup stuff,
Drank them all up,
"That wasn't enough!!!"
Drinking the liquid?
Not very wise!
Paul woke up,
What changed,
Was his size...
Went to his house,
Tried the front door,
Couldn't squeeze in,
Not anymore...

Paul circled around,
Outside of his home,
The house? It had shrunk,
Or Paul, he had grown...
Around, around,
No way to get in,
Stuck on the outside,
Paul couldn't win!!!
The drink he had drank,
And this won't make sense,
Changed Perimenter Paul,
Into a fence...

And from that day on,
Life was real hard,
Paul was the distance,
Around his back yard...
