Swallowed by its shadow the groundhog was gone and duped by its absence the day went on and on and the rooster crowed until it was horse and it whinnied and snorted and bucked the systemic elimination of waste products and exploded into a fragrant beige sunset but the farmer in the john knew what was up must come down spinning wheelbarrow so much depends upon a redskin with a Washington tomahawk to make a grown man cry me an old river sung by the fat lady lucky my Uncle Vanya’s cherry orchard wasn’t chopped down by George I think I’ve got an idea for a nursery rhyme of the ancient day that never ends up like my old man who never worked a day in his life insurance is honestly the best policy when you are Lincoln logging appendages for the less fortunate sons of the resolution that this year you will lose weight if it costs you an arm and a hammer and a sickle selling sea anemones by the dozen because your cheap date won’t pay the fair to meddling Parker who won’t take nose for an answer to the big questions of Life a Milton Bradley and not a Parker Bros game for ages seven and up up and away in my beautiful baloney has a first name it’s oh I see a scar on your arson nephew’s hand that held a match to the tale of a combustible stud that once was a rooster and though it never was a disappearing groundhog it may as well have been.

Everywhere and nowhere and been there again this is as confusing as a bucket of sin-ple Simon went a fishing with a -- but, I think you did good for what it is. What a hoot!

Now that's a run-on sentence! It's also eerily similar to the way my mind works. I laughed so hard! Very well done. I feel we must be kindred spirits as it has to take someone a tad wacky to submit such a divine entry! Love it!

I have to admit I read this three times. First time through, I thought you were a lunatic. Second time through, I knew you were a lunatic. Third time through I laughed my head off, complete with a loud gauff and unladylike snort. Once you get this, it is very funny and quite creative. :)

Clever, funny-no-hysterical, and yes I agree with Shann, this is exactly how my mind works. LOVED IT.

This is really something. If they had an award for creativity alone, I'm sure you'd win it - or should. Lots of colorful metaphors, reminds me of the way I think sometimes.
