Towingo and Towongo

Towingo and Towongo

A Poem by emipoemi

Towingo and Towongo went out to build a car

To drive them on adventures through the near and far.

They weaved together boxes, and clambered in to start,

But couldn’t go five feet before the whole thing fell apart.

 

Towingo and Towongo live out amidst the Congo,

And relish playing bingo, and thrill at chasing bongo.

And ev’ry day they’re drunk on life,

For life is a bottle of beer.

 

Towingo and Towongo went out to build a boat

To sail them on adventures to the lands of note.

They weaved together boxes, and pushed it from the bank,

But not far down the river they were bailing ’til it sank.

 

Towingo and Towongo live out amidst the Congo,

And relish playing bingo, and thrill at chasing bongo.

And ev’ry day they’re drunk on life,

For life is a bottle of beer.

 

Towingo and Towongo went out to build a plane

To fly them on adventures in the sky’s domain.

They weaved together boxes, then jumped it from a mound,

But didn’t last too long before crash-landing on the ground.

 

Towingo and Towongo live out amidst the Congo,

And relish playing bingo, and thrill at chasing bongo.

And ev’ry day they’re drunk on life,

For life is a bottle of beer.

 

Towingo and Towongo went out to build a kite

To flutter on adventures to their hearts’ delight.

They weaved together branches and leaves from tamarinds,

Then tailed it with a string, and watched it tango with the winds.

 

Towingo and Towongo live out amidst the Congo,

And relish playing bingo, and thrill at chasing bongo.

And ev’ry day they’re drunk on life,

For life is a bottle of beer.

Dare I call this "cute"? The kid that hides inside this old body smiled throughout, following Towingo and Towondo on their grand endeavors. Call me entertained.

So glad you enjoyed it. It was created by the little kid in me, I dare say. Thanks for reading.
