Worst poem ever written / Spool

One

by Claude M. Humdinger

A single leaf falls from a tree as a single mother sheds a single tear.

A single penny drops to the floor as the lonely man accepts his change for a single-serving bottle of peppermint schapps.

A single drop of rain falls from the sky as a single child drops a single mitten on the cold sidewalk.

A single bell is rung as the church service begins with the pews empty save for a single man who is sleeping.

A single rock falls from the cliff as a single lamb loses its footing and tumbles away from its mother to the rocky terrain below.

A single bullet rips through the chamber as Terry Single sees his girlfriend walk out of the dance club called Singles with another man.
