The bungee is a useful tool.
Anyone that doesn’t have one is a real fool.
It can hold things together.
It can hold things apart.
It stretches and shrinks.
It’s an engineering work of art.
You can jump from a tower.
You can dive from a cliff.
With the bungee’s springy power,
You will never go biff.
Bungees are used for so many things.
Like keeping cargo in the trunk from sprouting wings.
So, raise a glass and say hip hip hurray.
The amazing bungee is here to save the day.

Poetry-Not for Me
I’ve been on Vocal now for over a year and a half. During this time, I’ve noticed a growing trend towards poetry. Maybe I’m old and set in my ways, but that style of writing has never held my attention. Let’s face it, no one in the real world speaks that way.

Final Call
She flings her arms around my neck and squeezes me like she’s never going to let me go. My head spins as her lips brush against my cheek. She must be able to feel my heart thumping in my chest. I shuffle backwards and ram my hands into my coat pockets, watching her reach down and heave the rucksack across her shoulders.

Lol, imagine if someone hangs themselves from a bungee. Their body would literally go through an out of body experience! 🤣🤣🤣
Was that you at the end of the beloved bungee?
You are much braver than I! I'll watch from a far :) Nice rhyme scheme
