Freckles: the Silliest Poem I Ever Wrote

Author's note: I dug deep into my archives chest to retrieve this piece of utter nonsense, dear readers, because I thought it would make a good submission for April Fool's Day... Freckles! People who have freckles Are sometimes people who eat pickles. But pickles have bumps, They don't have freckles. Bumpy people are often fickle And won't eat pickles without freckles. A squash with speckles might be pickled, But is no sub for freckled pickles, Which is being pickle fickle. If someone earned a nickel For every pickle with a freckle, He'd have to gorge on hordes of pickles Just to make one lousy nickel. Now I'm in a poetic pickle And my brain is overworkin', So freckled people don't be fickle, Avoid the sun and eat a gherkin. Autor's PS: This piece, as I recall, started out to be a parody of the song "People" from the musical "Funny Girl", but quickly took a very sharp left turn and turned out quite differently.
