2. frog

why do I have webbed feet?

well. I can’t really answer that.

I think I’m part frog.

but DNA tests for amphibians don’t exist yet

so that question will remain unanswered

for now.

3. king

a crown atop my head

and a robe around my shoulders.

but being royalty isn’t everything it’s cracked up

to be

because being king

is all about being popular

and I’m not popular.

4. chicken drumsticks

I drown my sorrows by eating chicken drumsticks.

it’s just what I do.

even now,

I’m thinking about them.

5. uwu

people think it’s trendy to say uwu

but that’s dumb.

but I want to be trendy

so I say uwu.
