She was a simple girl from Phoenix, Arizona.
Who made an obvious
Choice, after gaining a large sum
Of money. This was to fly to Australia
In hopes of trying their fine cheeses.
There she found herself flabbergasted.

The sight she was, of course, worth the flabbergasting
As there, the girls from Arizona
Met a boy, face full of cheese
Though it wasn’t obvious
He was from that very town in Australia
And offered to pay their bills summed.

Though that total sum
Left them both flabbergasted
The boy from Australia
And the girl from Arizona
Spent what was obviously
Far too much on cheese.

Not even the most fine cheeses
But, it was over three hundred dollars summed.
The price was not so obvious
From what they had consumed, leaving them flabbergasted.
So, the girl from Arizona
Snuck out of the with the boy from Australia

As it turns out, the boy from Australia
Was almost addicted to cheese
Which is something he had in common with the Arizonan.
When she told him the total sum
Of her trip, he was flabbergasted
But his amaze was obvious

It was obvious
That this Australian
Wasn’t just flabbergasted
By cheese
But the sum
Of it and the girl from Arizona

It was obvious his addiction was more than cheese
And he became saddened by the fact the flight to or from Australia was a great sum.
So, he was flabbergast when she said, “I’m not going back to Arizona.”
Six random words from six random friends. I allowed myself to use slight variations of the words (like Flabbergasting or Obviously). It's a bit nonsense, I know, but it was a fun exercise.
