  • First Choice

    Most things I don’t prefer one over the other.

    Not so when it comes to the topic of peanut butter. 

    On my PBJ there is no but, or and if.

    The spread must be smooth, creamy Jif. 

    Else it’s like a ship without a rudder.

  • Syntactic ambiguity

    Flies like . . .

    Time flies like an arrow.

    Fruit flies like a banana.

    On Track

    Training for a race.

    Racing for a train.

    What is it?

    I never knew how much I had, until I had much less. Now with great certitude I know what it was, I guess.

  • Something Else

    Some things are haunting and dismal, they just won’t leave me be.

    Some days are dreary and dark,

    No sunshine do I see.

    Though these things would plague me, if they had their way.

    I overcome their effect by recalling a happier, brighter day.

    I have reminders of goodness to drive away whatever brings me down.

    As I reminisce of these things a smile grows where once there was a frown.

    These memories that I treasure once created have no end.

    They were given in your simple words as you said, “You are my friend.”

  • Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?

    Every serious situation must be treated with the proper level of humor.

  • What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?

    When asked by a news correspondent which holiday was his favorite, Arnold Schwarzenegger replied, “I still luv Easta baby.”

  • Like a Rolling Scone

    Like a Rolling Scone

    There was a young man from Boston.

    Bought two blueberry scones, but lost one. 

    Upon his return home;

    He found it under a stone. 

    Ate them both to have none.

  • Victory Dance

    Victory Dance

    There was a young man from Lansing, 

    With an affinity for singing and dancing. 

    Advising members of the MSU football team,

    On a celebratory end-zone routine.

    To see an increase in touchdown passing. 

  • Downhill from Here

    Downhill from Here

    There once wss a man from Pierre. 

    A vaunted cross-country skier. 

    Gave up his sport for a bigger thrill. 

    Ever since he’s gone downhill. 

    Ended his hobby to make it a career. 

  • Location, Location

    There was a young Moose from Bottineau.

    Had a severe aversion to lots of snow. 

    To remedy the situation. 

    He moved South in our nation. 

    To Louisiana’s city of Thibodaux.

    It Started When I Lost Something

    An Atom walks into a pub and seats himself at the bar. The bartender notices the rather somber look on Atom’s face as he takes his order. Returning with a Manhattan on ice, the bar-keep inquires as to the cause of his client’s dour disposition. Responding in a rather glum tone, the Atom says, “For me it’s the worst thing that could ever happen. I’ve lost an electron.” The bartender in reply says, “Are you sure?” The Atom , “Yes, I’m positive.”
