An Ode to Glasses


I have recently entered the world of the 4-eyes, and I can't help but think about this poem that I wrote for an english project when I was a kid. In it's original form, however, the words formed the shape of a pair of eyeglasses on a cartoon head that I drew....It was cute. Some of the artistic quality, therefore, has been lost in the reproduction, but here it is anyway...

Glasses

Metal, glass, or made of plastic
Red, white, green, or tan
Behind your ears or fixed with elastic
Made for woman or for man

They help you see things far away
And make the sky a brighter blue
Many wear them, and without them
Grandmas wouldn't know what to do.

They can shade you from the sunlight
Or aid you when you read
They can make you feel important
Or fulfill a basic need.

Glasses, Glasses, what an item!
Fun for boys and girls
With glasses you improve your vision
And magnify the world!
