Fruit grooks are hard.
My favourite tonight is:
Blessed Are The Dumb
You were given a brain that you might think
To speak, you were given a tongue;
But use them in conjunction please
Or if you cannot, keep mum.
Not Like Sherman
Time doesn't march --
If it did, we could stop it.
It quietly slips through our fingers:
We drop it.
Alternates
Between "what is" and "never was"
I much prefer "what could be"
And yet I never err in this:
What could not always should be.
Gas Of Any Kind Discouraged
Daily fruit
(and regular thought)
Are good for the digestion;
However too little or much
(of either)
Makes for a poor reception.
Untitled #12
History is
Important.
That's why the books
Record it.
Taking Things Too Literally
The thought becomes the deed
Says the enlightened Buddha.
If that were really true I'd be
Serving time for murddah.
Advice
Decent writing is a mix
Of spelling, grammar
And native wits.
Common Sense
Common sense is often lauded
But very little used
By people who haven't the uncommon sense
To ensure that it isn't abused.
I'm Going To Kill Her
Efficiency! cries the manager.
She doesn't seem to see
That if she worked more she'd spend less time
Requiring efficiency.
On Having Soda Spilled All Over My Green Cargo Trousers Tonight
aka
The Lovesong of J. Charlie Brown
How come when someone spills the soup
It always spills on me?
Or jam, or toast crumbs, till I look
Like I'm an afternoon tea?
This one is a cheat. It's a limerick, but I didn't notice that till I got home.
Pomegranates aren't food
So much as mess in potentia;
They're almost all seed
And thus really not fruit
And I'm sorry I had thirty sent to ya.
Commentary post-hack: Man, I sucked. It's really hard not to edit these.
