"The Back Story"

The back man packed a backpack full of backs,

He took the back road to go back home

He cried out "I'm all backed up"

People yelled back at him

"Turn back"

He looked back

Seeing all those who wouldn't back down

He trudged back

Ahhh the background was phenomenal

His favorite of all backs

He turned back around

But oh no, he couldn't go back now

He forgot about the back end of it all

Who cares? They all backed out

And now all he wishes

Is to go back in time

Someone knocks at the back door

"Back off" he yells

They're back for him

He gathers his backs and tries to escape

They've surrounded his backyard

Luckily he went through the front

And he whispers to his backcountry home

"I'll be back"

I debated for a long time on whether or not I should post this... what this is. I wrote this years ago - back in 2020 - with the intention of using back in many different ways, it was a fun little challenge I did for myself when I was feeling... hmmm, what's the word? Vivacious. I won't take this back.
