I Miss

By Maria Montanile

I miss my nipple

It sailed away

To another island

Another bay,

It used to sit there

On a squishy globe

Now it sank

Into a hole

I miss my nipple

It used to be

So pink and bright

and very spongy

Goodbye, my chum,

I have discovered,

I’m happy now

Don’t need another
