Picture this

Walking one fine day I met a man
I thought he looked familiar as I shook his tattooed hand.
What appeared as a beard were tattoos on his face
and on his back were the planets tattooed in outer space.
He had mars on one shoulder and earth on his spine
and when he sat he sat on uranus it was tattooed on his behind.
He had tattoos of pluto, mercury and venus
and a tattoo said " property of nancy" on his !enis.
On his side was tattooed "no man I fear"
and tattooed earrings adorned each ear.
A tattooed cross hung from his neck
and tattooed teardrops barely a speck.
On his stomach "rock and roll" with a flying guitar
and around each wrist strands of tattooed barb wire.
A tattoo on his thigh said "RIP sparky"
and he had a third eye on his forehead or some other malarkey.
A vampire bat was tatooed on his jaws
and at the top of his head it said "women love outlaws"
It said"so sorry were closed" on his eyelids
and on each of his toes were the name of his kids.
A tattooed name on his thumb said "pete"
and "game over"was tattooed on the soles of his feet.
On his back it said "please smoke grass"
and "exit only" was tattooed on his !ss.
He had screaming skeletons or demons I think
and something or other looked like spilled ink.
On his cheek red lips engaged in a kiss
and on his neck the scratched out name of some long ago miss.
On his head swam tattooed dolphins and whales
and I swear he had tattooed fingernails.
On both of his knees were tattooed honeybees
and I swear ink came from his nose when he sneezed.
Both of his arms were ablaze in tattooed flames
(his Firearms)
and around each eye were tattooeed eyeglass frames.
I thought I saw it all when on his tongue a tattooed dragon
then I spied by his side a tattooed dog with tattooed tail waggin'.
So I said to this guy "whats up with all this ink?
he said "sometimes I act before I think".
Thats when I suggested invisible ink!

    Lol, no, I just can't picture this. This is a very artistic piece you wrote here, Joseph and I'm surprised you actually had this poem, what a coincidence ha.
