What, You Expected A Point?

If a “house plant” is a thing

A “home tree” should be too,

As should a “duplex flower”

And “skyscraper bamboo.”

But perhaps my favorite combo

(The others are still great though)

Is either “Airbnb broccoli”

Or else “hovel tomato”.

On “Inciting Incidents”(Bonus Points If It Involves A Historical Artifact)

It doesn’t require much talent to be famous.

There really is near nothing to it

As long as you don’t care what they name us

And don’t care if you need to live through it.

A month has past since wedded bliss

And yet again it comes to this:

It’s long past my correct bed time

So I give you a four line poem and a rhyme.

Little lamb

Little lamb…

Mary had a little lamb

And the obstetrician fainted

Fainted

Fainted…

On Nursing And Duty

Roses are red

My fiancée is achey

So I have an excuse

If this poem seems flakey.

Bill Jigger Gets Rejected From MIT

Bill Nye became a science guy

Because he rhymed his name

But my parents still won’t tell me why

I cannot do the same…

It’s Never Easy In Seattle

The Seahawks today were a flyin’

When they beat a Michigan Lion:

With three turnovers, ‘twas prominent

How they were utterly dominant

And so barely squeaked out a win.

A Limerick About Mobile Games

There once was a Candy Crush knockoff

There twice was a Candy Crush knockoff

There thrice was a knockoff

Four times was a knockoff

Five times was a Candy Crush knockoff

Classic Literature

Of all the editors who ever were

One doesn’t get enough credit:

Somebody read “69,046.767 miles under the sea” And asked “have you heard of a league?”

(The other editors never read it)
