Sometimes and Then Again...

You’ve seen one sunset…

screw it, that’s all you get.

The owl hoots, who? And

the feathers point to you.

Trees in the forest yesterday are

the same trees in the forest

today, plus or minus one or two.

Some lines rhyme, some lines

refuse submitting to conformity.

Raccoon wear masks to conceal

their identity.

What’s good for the goose is

good for another, no matter

the gender.

The 2 by 4 inflicts splinters galore.

Some days it doesn’t pay to be

a carpenter.

Tweedledum, Tweedledee, the

child got lost playing hide and

seek.

In this modern day and age

all new automobiles look

the same.

Remove the meat from the

freezer and let it thaw all

day long. Oh no, not ham-

burger for dinner again.

A herd of buffalo sings the

Hallelujah Chorus on the

radio, Bluetooth for some

of you. (Handel turns over

in his grave.)

Sing a song of Sixpence then

move along. There’s nothing to

see here.

Crazy, you say? Who’s the one

who read the whole thing through?

Merry Christmas to all, and

to all a good night.
