A question that’s novelly dry, sir:
Is the “s” to be soft in T. Dreiser?
Or should it be “z”?
Conundrum to me
That spurs me to drink down Budweiser.
Clumsy Salamander
An eft. An inept eft.
Oft he coughed.
He slipped. He tripped.
He clipped his lip, and so it’s ripped.
The eft, it quipped, “I think I’m effed.”
Financial Misgivings
I had hired a brokerage.
Now I’m only broker. Rage!
There IS Such a Man
Socrates
Liked to tease.
Crept upon Diogenes.
“Cynic! Down! Upon thy knees!
“Douse thy lantern, for thou sees
“An honest man, I, Socrates.”
Probable Change
Probability master, Pascal,
Calculated a pass at a gal.
“I’ve got a queer grin.
“The odds are thus thin.
“I’ve a better chance with a gay pal.”
Indian Tour Company Mistake
I paid to travel down the Ganges.
The trip was canceled ere it began. Geez!
My Living Hearth
As I drive off to join again
My lover in the home,
I’m Lazarus, amazéd at
Fresh air outside the tomb.
Her hourglass is timelessness
No lens shall put to film.
She hugs me tight, my heart to bless,
For sweetness is her realm.
