When Life's Ajar

 

Poke some holes

into my lid,

They may -

just come in handy,

Drop a sandwich

in with me -

or just a piece of candy.

Set me on

a window ledge

I like to look

outside,

Or tie me to

your bicycle,

And take me

for a ride.

I'll be a hit

at show & tell,

You're bound

to have it made,

Just don't forget

to poke the holes

or you'll get

a failing grade.
