POETRY?

If called by a panther

don’t anther

(Ogden Nash)

An operatic tenor named Boyce

shattered fine mirrors with his voice

At a party with class

he broke all the glass

and rode home in a windy Rolls Royce

One, two, three

Buckle my shoe

(Robert Benchley)

A tutor who tooted the flute

Tried to tutor two tooters to toot

Said the two to the tutor

“Is it harder to toot, or

to tutor two tooters to toot?

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I’m schizophrenic

And so am I

Life is hard

by the yard

But by the inch

life’s a cinch

(Jean Gordon)

When you’re kissing with your honey

And your nose feels runny

You may think it’s funny

But it’s not

I don’t give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way. (Mark twain)

You have brains in your head

You have feet in your shoes

You can steer yourself

Any direction you choose

(Dr. Seuss)

C-D-E-D-B-D ducks?

M-R-not ducks!

O-S-A-R

C-D-E-D-B-D wings?

You think your pains and heartbreaks are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that things that tormented me were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who have ever been alive. (James Baldwin)

Thoidy doidy boids

Sittin’ on da coib

Choipin’ ‘n boipin’

N’ eatin’ doidy oith woims

Along comes Hoibie

From Thoidy-thoid ‘n Thoid

Saw da thoidy doidy boids

Sittin’ on da coib

Choipin’ ‘n boipin’

N’ eatin’ doidy oith woims

Boy…was he distoibed (The Red Hot Chili Peppers)
