An Eyeful of Mouth, A Mouthful of Eye

It was an eve, just like the rest,

no, nothing was awry.

Not till Peter took his pipe

and placed it in his eye.

With mouth gaped wide

Tom yelled at Pete and said

“Man, your sockets are in for a wreck

Put the pipe in your mouth instead!”

So Pete took the pipe

and brought it away from the eye.

But then the eye began to speak

much to Tom’s surprise.

“I see out of my mouth, and breath from my eye”

was the retort the eye then spat.

“So mind your tongue, you peeping Tom,

or I’ll split your lid in half.”

It seems that Tom had this to say

As he retreated from Pete

“I suppose it’s easier now to have taste in what you watch

And even more so to watch what you eat!”
