Analysis of Get On



When you get on a poem carousel
You'll slowly start to spin around
With words that'll give you a dizzy spell
Verses rotate with no end to be found

Stanzas revolve without ryhme or reason
A poem that is a merry-go-round nightmare
The poet tricked you to get on
If you get off now the poem ends here
