Shocketry Reboot: The Bite




And so it was
That once, a boy
Not knowing what to do
Just closed his eyes
And made a wish
And hoped that it came true

‘Every word I say,
Must turn for real
And behave the way they mean
No dilly or dally,
Nor silly or sally
As real as could be seen!

It was all fun
With the moon and sun
And Stars and day and night
Then he felt a chomp
Not quite the romp
It was the word called BITE

Up and down
He scampered hard
With Bite holding his bum
Come rain or wind
Or Sun shine in
They were now the best of chums!

So the boy wrote a book
And christened it
“I’ll call you Bible cuz I can!”
Then he named the bite,
More out of spite
“Now on, I’ll call you MAN!”

(pic: Helix nebula, nicknamed "The Eye of God")

[Okay okay, I shall get back to writing fiction soon! Incase you are new here, this is a part of Shocketry which started last week here.  Two people followed suit and did their own shocketry here and here. Have you earned your shocketry badge yet? Also, I am looking forward to collaborate on fiction stories here or on Your blog. Any takers? ]

'a boy'? can we go into some bit of a feminist critique of that? No?
'a wish'...presupposing him (a slash and her?) to be the point of origin, then the wish was directed where? pre-origin?
'not knowing what to do'...suggesting birth out of idleness?
'I'll call you MAN!'...very very tempted to return to the first proposed framework of critique..

generosity, however, prevents me.
verdict- Shocketry Reboot= 'like'
:D
