Super powers?
I have a few:
I have a dozen eyes,
Not two.
I dare not sneeze,
I’m scared to cough,
And that’s because
My nose comes off.
My ears point backwards,
That’s no lie,
Though yesterday
They faced the sky.
I smoke a pipe
And then I don't.
Perhaps I will;
Perhaps I won't.
There is a hat
I love to wear,
It covers up
My lack of hair.
I have no arms,
I have no feet,
Who needs them when
You look so neat?
I fear one day
My head will rot.
Take care of it,
It's all I've got.
When all else fails,
When hope is dead,
Just call on me:
Potato Head.

Brilliant! This gave me a real laugh - I'll read it to my grandkids when they come to stay next week.
