AUGUSTUS PHIPPS

AUGUSTUS PHIPPS

AUGUSTUS PHIPPS 
 

Strawberry pencils for his lips.

Body of jelly, Augustus Phipps.

Brain comprises twice cooked chips.

 

Arms like spaghetti, so no guns there. 

He has dry noodles for his hair. 

Legs of toblerone, avoid the hot air.

 

But hey he's a masterchef.

No food on the shelf?

He can just eat himself.

 

This is an example of a tripku. 3 verses of 3 lines each. The first verse all lines have 5 words, the second they all have 7 words and the third they all have 5 words. It's a new form to me.
