Instruction Poems

ProvidenceYou write a line and then write the instructions for the next person to write the next line.
1)
Loud noises make my feet hurt [Talk about toenails, hair, and??...]
Even the nerveless parts grow erect [You are very tall]
I aspire to touch the flying part [Eiffel Tower]
Even my hands hurt for so much of that height [Aspiring to different dietary needs]
A vegetable air, up there [Eat it]
Tastes like a tomato. Can’t be, tomato’s a fruit they say [Go to Boston]
But those university snobs don’t even know their own two feet [Finish with 1st person]
