I had, as one could say, a bit of a strange day. 1
When I woke up this morning, I tripped and fell off the stairs. While I tried to break my fall with might and main, two good companions in a situation like this, I got lucky! A pink elephant plucked me out of the air with its trunk and took me for a ride to the Bermuda Triangle, where I found a square instead. 2
Of course I wanted to get to the bottom of this mystery, but all I could find was a false ceiling and got tagged for a loony. 3
Immediately I got trapped by a straitjacket, but I bribed it with a nonsensical statement, behind which it now hides forever. The result left me speechless and before I knew it my voice left me and started yelling "Nuts! Nuts!" 4
This caused hundreds of squirrels to appear out of nowhere and they ate my words faster than my voice could produce any more. Of course those squirrels couldn't trick me! I saw what they really were! Rats in Designer Suits! 5
What could I do but hide in-sanity and figure out how to exit this weird adventure where non-sense almost made sense, and nothing seemed to be what it should, except for the door straight ahead. 6
"EXIT" the sign said, but when I entered, or should I say exited, I found myself in the middle of a serious political meeting of the Ostriches, all sticking their head in the sand. I quickly put a paper bag over my head to blend in when a voice resounded out of nowhere: "Who's there? I can hear paper rustle, but I can't see you! Who's traveling incognito through my lands?" 7
"I'm right here, hiding in this silly old bag. Can you help me please?" I hollered and out reached an enormous hand and threw me on this chair behind my computer.8
Of course, being exhausted, I fell right asleep on the keyboard, to find my nose stuck between the keys when I woke up. 9
Thinking back, it may not have been the smartest thing to do, but I cried out: "This is NUTS!" and a giant squirrel (more likely a giant rat!) appeared, who ate the nut immediately and, unfortunately, bit off my nose too. 10
I assure you it's not a pretty sight... no nose... just a black hole where everything disappears into. Good thing my name is Pinocchio today, so I'm sure it will grow back on. 11
And how was your day?12

Quite enjoyable.
Not great. But none the less, a good write. (This is MY opinion alone. Others might probably think differently.) \
Your poem was good. No one can label it as bad, but I just couldn't feel about it the same way I felt about some of your other poems. Anyway, keep writing and good luck. -
