I’ve worked hard the past few days
But this is not my work that pays
And thus I write one stanza here.

When Movies Aren’t In Chronological Order
Dab and Deb were walking
To meet up with Dib and Dob.

Then Dab began to sob.
The first sentence is the beginning
And the third one is the ending.
Someone said “Smack Dab in the middle of it.”

Another Perspective…
The top one-percent of earners
Make $585 K.

Are anything less than impressed.

Have had a blue period.

Riding on a pony.
He stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni.
Yankee Doodle was confused,
Perhaps ’cause of the ridin’,
And his random speech habit
Got picked up by Joe Biden.
