There was a young man from Decatur.
Called a potato a spud, not a tater.
His language was precise.
Flip a coin, roll the dice.
Do it now rather than later.

The home of change
There was a young man from Madrid.
Made his living trading peseta for quid.
Mid-career he made a change.
Bought himself a home on the range.
Now he lives off-of-the-grid.

Home Body . . . Not
What countries do you want to visit?
Not one to travel much, I prefer to stay at home.
If I were to venture abroad, I might just go to Rome.
Perchance a side trip to see the Tower that leans in Pisa.
Then off Paris France to visit the Mona Lisa.
By then I’d be rejuvenated, full of vigor and vim.
Off to the north coast of France for an English Channel Swim.
Cannot forget the White Cliffs located nearby at Dover.
Then off to Dublin to meet the fabled Irish Rover.
My travelogue with photos maintained on my smartphone.
I’ll share it with you all, whenever I reach home.

Never was trendy
There are somethings I enjoy, mostly those things that I like.
For example, I’d rather eat Walleye, than dine on Northern Pike.
When it comes to mobility, getting from point A to point B,
The internal combustion engine is good enough for me.
On vacation, I like time in the northern Rocky Mountains.
A preference for glacier fed springs over public water fountains.
I have a liking for the simple life, make no bones about it.
As for the latest iPhone, I can live without it.

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
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
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!
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
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.
The Ethereal Scupper
