'Mr Peculiar! You're a square!
Part of you just isn't there!
'It's a rectangle if you please;
It always happens when I sneeze!
And how can you see it? You've got no eyes!'
'You're very quick with your replies!
My eyes are on the other side.
Both of them are open wide.
I like to be a bit informal,
But, unlike you I am quite normal.'
'Mr Odd! Don't be so rude!
You'll put me in a nasty mood.
Hey! Look at that person looking at us!
If I looked like that I'd make a fuss.'

ENGROSSED
Little girl finds a treasure.
Wet sand, a worm, some seaweed, or some junk!
Who cares! It is the centre of her world.

It may not be micro, but it is witty and clever!

Funny with a bit of a moral - in poetry no less. Who could ask for anything more?
