  • Chance of Showers

    Chance of Showers

    A brainstorming session is an order that’s rather tall.

    Depending on the participants you may end up with a brain-squall.

    To achieve the ultimate outcome, develop your invitee list most carefully.

    If not done with meticulous selection, you may end up with half-wits like me.

    Start the meeting only when those assembled represent a healthy quorum.

    Then and only then, is the forecast favorable for a brainstorm.

  • Driven to Underachieve

    Driven to Underachieve

    I sought a job at a factory down by the sea.

    Worked real hard on my impressibility.

    Their questions hurt my head.

    What are you good at? I said;

    “I excel at mediocrity!”

  • Even a Dinosaur Can Do AI

    Even a Dinosaur Can Do AI

    My results from GenAI were rather haunting.

    Crafting the right prompt was quite daunting. 

    Then I ran into a T-Rex.

    “Clarity, Specificity, and Context”.

    That’s how you improve your prompting. 

  • He’s Got Pizzazz!

    He’s Got Pizzazz!

    Sam presented himself as a wizard.

    Turned ice-cream and Oreos into a Blizzard. 

    He could get grimy stuff, squeaky clean. 

    Even extracted the lima from a bean, 

    and sold a chicken a new gizzard. 

  • Mother Nature is No Fool

    Ah, yes I long for Spring,

    Above the 45th Parallel it’s a psychological thing.

    The calendar says, “It’s here!”

    Mother Nature says, “Not so my dear.”

    ”Today more snow I’ll bring!”

  • Not bad for a Moose

    Not bad for a Moose

    There was a young Moose from Racine. 

    Kept himself well oiled, tidy and clean. 

    Philosophy, rhetoric and fine art, 

    the subjects dearest to his heart. 

    Graduated with honors at Bowling Green.

  • Das ist gut!

    What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?

    There is a simple luxury, that I cannot live without.

    Should I be denied it, I’ll stomp my feet and pout.

    It enlivens the tastebuds, a true epicurean delight.

    I take at mealtime, morning, day and night.

    It supports a healthy gut, and builds a diverse microbiome.

    I consume it while traveling. I consume while at home.

    What is this l delectable luxury that I rave about?

    It is none other than Bavarian Sauerkraut.

  • It’s Your Move

    There once was a Moose from Lancaster. 

    An accomplished Chess Grandmaster. 

    Against Kasparov, on one occasion,

    He offered an oblation. 

    Checkmate never came faster.  

     

  • All you need is . . .

    What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

    Freedom to participate in:

    • Civic life
    • The economy
    • Worship of ones’ god
  • Go Figure

    If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?

    I think arithmetic is amazing and algebra is swell. 

    Calculus and statistics, I like them just as well. Trigonometry is my favorite, if I were to tell. The new name that I choose is Polynomial.
