My Villanelle

I can't think of anything else to post so here's my lame Villanelle. As Mr. Heidkamp called it, it's simple yet efficient. I actually don't remember if he called it that or not but it is. I got a check mark. I hope that's a good thing.

He was just a crazy old man
With a pencil-thick neck and a beard
And his body was shaped like an oil can

He still drove an old hippie van
Everyone thought he was weird
He was just a crazy old man

They all called him Dan
Spiders were all that he feared
And his body was shaped like an oil can

The last thing they called him was bland
He only ate his cream cheese smeared
He was just a crazy old man

His house was simply grand
When he first saw it, he cheered
And his body was shaped like an oil can
He was just a crazy old man

Heh. I think villanelles are hard, so I liked this. Nice rhyming. =)

I liked it. I tried to do a poem, but I could not think of anything to write. Is this a real person or did you just role with it? Good work.
