When the world is not going,

As planned,

When the hippogriffs are dancing,

With their unbridled friends,

When it’s not even past time for supper,

It can all be a canned bummer,

But the gerbils will make,

The day a little cleaner,

A little bit tastier,

A little less meaner,

Then we will find,

That pancakes fill the spot,

Rip up the onions,

Remove oil stain spots,

And take out the smell,

Of lemon-fresh madness,

Then you will know,

The happiness that is cabbages,

And smash the laptop,

On the watermelon,

And never again fear,

Late-stage capitalism.

But in the meantime,

This is true,

There’s a skeleton inside me—

And a skeleton inside of you.

Want to read something longer by me? How about a whole novel! 

“Just Another Chosen One is a blisteringly paced, action-soaked debut from author Brandon Scott, sure to appeal to those who’ve gotten tired of reading the same old stories about the child of prophecy destined to save the world.”
