Someone You Know Is Pedantically Screaming “It’s A Crustacean, Not A Fish!”

I think on behalf of those born between

Late June and late July

We need to recognize their pain

And ask the question why

Their star sign is a great disease

(And a pretty boring fish).

I think the other stat signs

Should be diseases too. I wish

That some day in the future

Someone will die of Libra

And we’ll recognize that Cancer

Is a constellation of a zebra.

Opportunity Will Find You If You Stumble On Chances To Do Stuff, Maybe

I believe my destiny

Has been chosen just for me

By the position of the stars

And maybe too the moon and Mars

On the day that I was born,

But alas now I am torn

Because one newspaper said

“Watch out for someone who’s not dead”

While another warned me that

“You’ll meet someone that wears a hat.”

What am I supposed to do?

Watch for the hatted and the living too?

So many truths, I am forlorn!

Such woe is mine, a Capricorn.

After Colonoscopy Comes Horoscopy

The nurse said “I’m Aquarius!”

The lab tech said “I’m Virgo!”

I said “I’m a Cancer!”

The doctor said “I know.”
