Keith was always quiet
Lurking about his home
There was little else he’d ever do
But lap his ice cream cone
Some folks thought he couldn’t speak,
Some folks jeered and teased,
But Keith only needed one short phrase:
"I want more ice cream, please"
Friends would ring the doorbell,
"Keith, come out to play!"
But through a screen Keith stared at them
And lapped his cone away
Eventually the friends gave up
On strange Keith and his cone
Eventually they found other games
Keith was, at last, alone
But one day in hot July
Visitors arrived
An alien race from another world
called Elron Exus Prime
They zapped the small town where Keith lived,
His school and all his friends
And when he was given the chance to live
He just shrugged, "Depends."
"Depends on what?!" the creatures asked
Their black eyes gleaming wide
"Tell me a bit about your spaceship,
the things you have inside"
And so the aliens listed things
They’d captured from the earth
From bugs and worms to cows and trains,
Stacks of volume’s worth
But little Keith kept quiet,
Nodding as they talked
Waiting for a single item
To decide to stay or walk
And when they finally mentioned it,
He cheered and bounced and ran
For he could be happy anywhere
With an ice cream cone in hand

I like the connection: the tee and the 'nursery rhyme'.
What’s this? Is it popular kid rhyme in States?
curious...
gameyy said 3 months ago
Nah, I just wrote the poem for the tee before uploading it. I like adding little stories to my work. Makes it a bit more interesting.

Thanks for all the support thus far. LF’s style has definitely been narrowing in a bit, so if you like this you should dig the stuff that’ll be coming out down the line!

back when i was really interested in tshirts, and wanted to do a company, i wanted to have a short story/a song/a poster, or something else that related to the tee i could mail with it. i see the same thing in you with that poem. cool.
gameyy said 3 months ago
Yeah, I’m kind of thinking along those lines for future releases too. I really don’t want my shirts to just be cool, wearable designs. I want them to have some meaning!
By the way, what’s your avatar from? It’s intriguing.

landshark said 3 months ago
The avatar is from early Saturday Night Live, in a skit they did called Land Shark. Chevy Chase played the shark.
Plus Sharks are cool, I’m a painter.
