Arturo ate a jumping bean, <br />And he started to twitch. <br />To me it just seemed, <br />That he had a bad itch. <br /> <br />Then he started to leap, <br />And run round the yard. <br />He looked just like a sheep, <br />He was jumping so hard. <br /> <br />Don Andres had to take him, <br />To see an m.d.. <br />Cause that old jumping bean, <br />Wouldn't let him be. <br /> <br />It turns out those beans, <br />Have some type of worm. <br />And though it's protein, <br />It had started to turn. <br /> <br />12/3/10 Alton Texas <br />Dedicated to my compadre Arturo Elizondo. <br />For another poem about Arturo, read, 'Arturo And The Black Cat'<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mexican-jumping-bean/
