Array ( [sid] => 81325 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Simple Sam [time] => 2005-01-24 20:48:40 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I am simple Sam
I fought in Vietnam
I have a missing leg
And now I have to beg
I have a dream
To bathe in cream
But it’s not realistic
Because I'm autistic
Ballistic
I am
But also known as simple Sam

I am simple Sam
I only like ham
But do not like green eggs and jam
She said are you sure Sam
Yes mam'
I listen to pearl jam
Or wham
Because I am simple Sam

I have no left eye
I lost it over a fight
For apple pie
I thought I was going to die
My, my, my
Why, why, why
Alas I did not even cry
Sigh...
Because I am
I am
I am simple Sam

Simple Sam was on the track
A victim of a drive by
Smack!!
Sam is left lying on his back
And conscious he was
No one came for him because
He was simple Sam
A disliked man
Damn.....
He thought
Why am I simple Sam?

Simple Sam is even simpler
He can’t walk, he can’t talk
Because he is a cripple
He can’t feel the bruise on his nipple
But that is a good thing
For the pain that it would bring
Would be devastating
To all concerning
There is no one
But damage is now done
And who cares
No one
Zero
Zip
Zilch
Because after all
He is simple Sam

Sam lives in a chair
People like to stare
But he doesn’t care
He can’t care
He’s unaware
That people stare
He can't even wink
Let alone think
Because he's a vegetable
Blind, deaf and dumb
He can’t move his thumb
If he could think
He would wish to run
For fun
But he isn't able to
So he won't
Ever
Because he is a not so complicated Sam

Sam has had too much glory
They will make the ending gory
Sam didn’t deserve to go to hell
They hit him with a mortar shell
But he is still alive
How did he survive?
"I'm not sure", the nurse replied
So they lied
And said he had died
And buried him alive
A meteor hit
The earth was split
Sam was finished
His life diminished
Now
There is no more simple Sam [comments] => 2 [counter] => 165 [topic] => 7 [informant] => bigbucks [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )

nice write, very amusing, but im not sure if the chage in rhyme scheme adds more variety or makes it a bit harder of a read
amusing none the less
