But What Does Salt Smell Like Anyway?

I danced a sappy sort of waltz-

The type that’s rife with lots of schmaltz.

The I passed out, demonstrating my faults.

That’s why I’m grateful for smellingsalts.

Chicken Couplets (Guest Poem from S-BC”CAG”BPCTWMYB[P])

By Katy:
Chickens are so much maligned,

But if you look I think you’ll find

That if a chicken lays an egg or two,
That’s much more work than me or you. 
When you die it’s with a selfish craze,

But a chicken gives back with a ginger glaze!

And so to chickens you should be kind,
For they seem most helpful to my small mind. 
Thanks Katy!

Huh? Sounds Good!

Clamp, crumple, jumble, clash.

Plump, pilfer, globule, brash.

Dimwit, sphincter, clasping, plinked.

This poem means nothing, but it sure sounds distinct!

What’s Wwong With This Stowy?

I’ve been a priest for many years

With all that such entails.

I’ve heard the common people cry

And comforted their wails.

But when a man with a speech disorder came

To church my life got dire

For until then I’d never been

Preaching to the cwier.

Saturday, March the Whateverth

You ever have

Those lazy days

Where you do nothing

In all sorts of ways?

You listen to comedy,

Read some books,

Watch youtube clips

Of stupid crooks,

Eat canned meat

And drink whole milk

And critique the jazz

Of Acker Bilk?

‘Til 5:00 PM

You stay in bed?

Me neither. What an imagination

In my head. 🙂

That’s Why Babies Look Funny When They Learn To Walk!

If life were like a video game

I think it quickly would get lame

‘Cause everyone would act the same

And people would compete for fame

And money and stuff you’d seek to claim

And maybe you’d love a token dame.

Your repeated failures might cause shame

And you’d be worthy of others’s blame.

You’ll find comfort in a pet to tame

And maybe give it a funny name

Like Blooper, Tweazle, Grumps, or Zame…

Holy crap! Life’s just like a video game!

Guest Poem from the Semi-Bicentennial “Chickens Are Good” Bad Poetry Contest That Will Not Make You Bald (Probably)

From Bill:
Chickens are oviparous,

I’m sure you realize.

They generously produce for us,

Eggs of every size.

These eggs do nourish some of us,

and for that we are thankful.

(Others they make malodorous,

but we do forgive your stank, Phil.)

Chickens have earned their place in heaven,

don’t you realize?

With a little flour and leaven,

you get “Chicken Surprise!”

Thanks Bill!

Different Types

If you like lettuce

And cabbage and kale

And you want to be green

And maybe save a whale

I wish you a life

That is long, joyful, happy

While I go to Hell

With people who aren’t so sappy.

Really Though, How Do You Spell The Last Word?

I looked at all the people

Seated in their chairs.

I told them “I won’t paint the steps”

But I only got blank stares.
