Ode to Spongebob
F is for Friday’s filled with entertainment
U is for ultimate comedy gold
N is for nostalgia without bound
That is what Spongebob holds
Patty-flipping mishaps inspire amused gasps for air
Laughter bubbling up from beneath Bikini Bottom’s waters
Releasing the day’s cares into the air above
Ocean holding nothing but a carefree underwater world
A hilarity-obsessed 5 year old’s Atlantis
Hey all you people can you listen to me?
The impact of this show will never flee
But remains in my mind
The Squidward of my thoughts
Permanently remaining just one house away
From his “favorite” next door neighbor
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea
Whoever’s the owner of the white sedan
You left your lights on—- but that’s okay
Because forever they will cast their beaming ray
One that never dims with time
Or fades, like the colors of an old episode
This kitchen is not the same without you
Nor would my life be the same
In the absence of your yellow laughter
