Wally the Bi-clops (not Cyclops)

There was a bi-clops named Wally
Wally had two eyes
That means that he was a man
Who was very large
Large enough to be a Cyclops
Except he had two eyes instead of one

When Wally was a lad of one
He was named Wally
He most definitely was not a Cyclops
Because he had two eyes
Even though he was young, he was large,
Enough to be a man

When he grew to be a man
He still had two eyes, not one
He was still very large
And he didn’t change his name, so it was still Wally
He didn’t lose an eye, so he had a plural amount of eye, which is eyes
Cyclops

Having his first child didn’t make him a Cyclops
He was still a man
Even though he had to get glasses, he still had two eyes
He was number on
At being named Wally
He was bigger than most every one; a synonym for big is large

His son grew, and Wally was still large
He acted like a Cyclops
And his name was still Wally
But that didn’t change the fact that he was a man
When he first met his wife, he knew that she was the one
She also had two eyes

The author of this poem has two eyes
It doesn’t matter that the bi-clops is large
Or that he didn’t get into a lasik surgery accident that burned out one
Of his eyes making him permanently a Cyclops
And not a man
The most important thing is that he was still named Wally

A Cyclops doesn’t have two eyes
This poem is about a large man
The one named Wally
