The Poem

Once, when I was walking,
I came across a paper
With a poem on it,
And this is what it said:
I was walking in a circle
When I came across a paper
With a poem on it
And this is what it said:
I was playing with my cat
When a package came for me
With a poem on top of it
And this is what it said:
I was in Australia
Playing with a boomerang
And when it came back to me
This is what it said:
You have read a lot of poems
Through the first poem that you read
I know this seems kind of crazy
You may want to rest your head
But this is the last poem that
You will have read.
