About a cruise.

Harry Potter And The One Minute Of Missing Footage

Christmas at Hogwarts, 1997:

Harry Potter is in heaven

Opening gifts from his first ever friends

And hoping this day never ends

When off to the side he notices one

Nondescript little package and opens it. Fun!

Inside is a cloak made of magical paper

For invisible movement during a caper.

“How does it work?” Harry asked. Ron, compliant,

Said, “It’s made from the list of all Epstein’s clients.”

Then Harry nodded, his heart feeling zen,

And Professor Quirrel was never seen again.

Upsides

The nice thing about AI ads

Is that they’re poorly done

So I’ve no need to buy their stuff

And so declare we won.

Another proof of victory

Is that the CEOs shelled out

A lot of money for this tech

And thus without a doubt

Will double down on ineffective

Tools for advertising.

AI will bring a golden age

Of happily not buying!

Who Needs AI When You Have A Wife?

No AC?

Just live under a tree.

It’s cool as can be.

Just wait and see!

My Little Fountain

I have a fountain in my yard.

It doesn’t fountain very hard,

Just drips and drips onto a spot

And fills my hose when the weather’s hot.

Some may say that it’s a tap

But I think that’s a load of crap.

If soda and drinking fountains count

Then mine’s a fountain too by my account.

I’m proud of my little drippy fountain.

For it I’d move many a mountain

For when I’m a sweaty yard-working man

I drink from it just ‘cause I can.

Super secret base.

Red alert! It’s Mom and Dad

Taking pillows back…

Notting Hill

There once was a good-looking chap

Who spilled juice on a movie star’s lap.

They would, then they wouldn’t,

They could but they couldn’t,

And, my goodness, their acting was crap.

The Introvert’s Decision

Go big or go home?

Suffice to say I am not

Fond of going big.

Location Is Everything

Shelly sells seashells at the seashore.

Nobody quite knows what she does this for.

No one buys the shells she sells, so I am pondering

If Shelly’s shells are a shell business for money laundering.

The First Packaging Scam

We complain about shrinkflation

Like half-empty bags of chips

Or getting a 15-ounce container

With just 12 ounces of dips

And yet for all my lifetime

We’ve still bought those honey bears

And you can’t squeeze honey through their neck

But no one really cares…
