  • What a Croc

    What a Croc

    There was an animal psychologist from Clio.

    In his office was a crocodile from Cairo.

    The Doc had to convince his client,

    Who remained reclusive and silent.

    That he was a hypochondriac in de-Nile.

  • For Whom the Bell Tolls

    What is one word that describes you?

    If I were to choose a word, one that fits me well.

    It would be bright and loud, a bit pear-shaped, I think I’d choose ‘bell’.

    When left alone and all is calm, you see from me great poise.

    But when disturbed and startled, you’ll hear from me great noise.

    If you’re bored and your day is slow.

    Just reach out, shake me a bit and for you the bell will toll.

  • The Short and the Long of it

    What was the best compliment you’ve received?

    The best compliment received came in aisle 4.

    I was in the canned vegetable section of the grocery store.

    An elderly woman, short in stature with steel gray hair, said, “Sir could you help me, do you have a moment to spare?”

    She went on, “I am usually self-sufficient doing things myself,

    But could you fetch me a can of peas and carrots off the top shelf?”

    Said I, “It would be a pleasure and no trouble at all.”

    Responding she said, “Thank you so much, you are kind and tall.”

  • King of the Road

    You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?

    Crossing this nation one travels far.

    I’ll not go by bike, rather by car.

    Baggage handling, seat assignments, oh what a pain.

    That’s what you get with air, bus or train.

    I’ll see the open prairies, I am king of the road.

    At the end of my journey I’ll arrive peacefully to my abode.

  • Sign Up, Signed Up

    Sign Up, Signed Up

    Was planned an event for practitioners of conjugation.

    The venue was to be in some exotic location.

    The invitations were sent.

    Seems like the effort was ill-spent.

    No one registered during registration.

     

     

  • A Lake by any other name

    In this society full of unequal disparity.

    Let us debate a point for ambiguous clarity.

    If there’s a Lake Michigan, among the Great,

    Shouldn’t there be a Lake Michigan State?

    Let us debate it with disparate complimentary.
