Author's Note
Just a little something I threw together in a few minutes today. Nothing special... I might have referenced The Wizard of Oz in there, heh. There are many ingredients I left out. Feel free to keep it going in the comments :)

Well thought out
If read at a fast pace then yes Oz comes to mind
But that's the beauty of it all
Really enjoyed

Hey Hunter - this one came out pretty quickly, but I'm happy with it, and I'm happy that you enjoyed it :). I'd love to see other people's version of this same kind of poem - with their versions of what makes up life. I left tons of stuff out... eventually I just had to say, "Alright, I think I got my point across. At this point if I keep going, I'm going to bore people and lose readership."

Thank you, U.G. Rose - I tried! Lighthearted is a good word for this one - I didn't spend a lot of time ironing out the fine details this time. This was just a quick spill brought on by mixed emotions that I was feelings. All things, good or bad make up who we are as people - without sadness and pain, we'd be missing something fundamental to humanity.
Lol. I couldn't help but to notice the 'shape' of the poem as well. It wasn't intended to be anything, though!
I forgot many things, though, that's why I said "Feel free to add on to the list" in the comments.
I'll do it for you
Gravy, biscuits, bacon eggs
Eyes, ears, arms, legs
Grass, dirt, sky, air
Pores, glands, nodes, hair

Great write. Really clever and I enjoyed it greatly.
Should the last line be - Makes the world go around just like THAT! ? Up to you, ok? Text formation, looks a little like an hour glass. Cheers Fetchitnow
