Gilligan’s Island of Castaway Verse
The discipline of reading at least one poem each day
The meter started getting rough aboard
A scheduled poetic three-minute tour
Across a sonnet or a blue haiku
Broken up by a wave of indolence
The Professor repairs an iamb or two
With a clam shell, seaweed, and coconuts
While Mary Ann recites “The Road Not Taken”
And the Skipper chases poor Gilligan
Who trips and falls, and finds a misplaced rhyme -
Maybe we’ll all get off the island this time!
