There was once a toy block 
The kind that’s in a set 
Of twenty blocks all sharp and square 
Some blue and others red 

Bendy Block stood starkly out 
Because she was quite grey 
She also had one dented edge
That made her lean sideways

While the other blocks climbed up 
To build a tunnel or a house 
Bendy would lean back and watch 
As timid as a mouse 

She’d straighten to ninety degrees 
From the surface where she sat 
But within a minute or two 
She’d slowly lean right back

One day the building blocks all heard 
A loud crash from within 
The family photo had fallen down
With a mighty gust of wind 

The glass was whole but the stand 
Had broken into two
The lady tried to mend the break 
With a tube of super glue 

But that didn’t work so she looked 
Around for inspiration 
She spied the bendy little block 
And used it for elevation 

The photo with its smiling faces
Stands again up on the dresser
Bendy is the happy prop 
As the frame now leans back on her.
