This is just to say

I have just bored.
The horse was gone.
That was in.

The bird was singing.

And which
Your were probably
Saving
For a car.

Forgive me.
It they were a cat.

So a parrot can talk.

And so the rock was real.

Alex is fourteen years old. He has Asperger's syndrome and wrote this poem for a school project.
