A book without the ink. A skunk that doesn’t stink.

Art that is concealed. Leprechauns dancing in a field.

A birthday party without any cake. All the fish walking out of the lake.

A life that’s boring. Your dad not snoring.

Casual Fridays on a Saturday. Football played another way.

Tears that aren’t wet. A gambler that doesn’t bet.

Fires that don’t warm. Poetry written in one form.

Stars that don’t have light. Boxing without the fight.

A knight without his horse. Police that use no force.

Cars that can fly. Drugs that don’t get you high.

Eating spaghetti without the fork. An imagination that doesn’t work.
