Convention of Misfit Toys By Scott Eck Darlene dolly's sweet intentions Sour: She's only got one eye. Tommy train will give you a ride, Square wheels and all: Not good inventions. Jiffy Giraffe's short attention Span (and neck) compare not in size To his heart & uncanny eyes. They're here at this motel convention. Hundreds of not quite perfect toys Sputter & jump with all their might To be useful to the girls & boys. Motel sign crackles in the night. They'd fly right into acid rain: These one-eyed dolls & broken trains. © 2004, Scott Eck Scott Eck is from Marstons Mills, MA
