BUOY

he showed up brighter than a buoy slicker than a submarine bonnie as a berry cuter than a kidney bean she was struck dumber than a detour quicker than a pistol shot revving like a motor hotter than a parking lot and his eyes beckon like a lighthouse sparkle like a foreign grin promising a welcome warmer than a muffin tin so she went righteous as a missionary hopeful as a ballot box cautious as a coal canary wily as a winter fox but he ran crazy as a hatter panicked like a pot to boil hissing like an adder spitting like a vat of oil and her heart fell out of her chest and split scattered like a house of cards now anyone who touches it cuts their knuckles on the shards now she lives out in Arizona lonely as a single shoe tougher than a tortoise sadder than a coffin crew but what fool keeps hanging on to something after it has fell apart? hey you send it to the warehouse get yourself another heart
