Things you will never see

A runway too long in Chicago.

A miniskirt too short.

A poem as beautiful as a tree.

too many books

too few children

too little football

A beer too dark.

My abs.

I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree
Indeed, unles the bilboards fall
I’ll never see a tree at all.
Ogden Nash

I disagree. If the hemline is above her head, it’s too short. :slight_smile:

Doesn’t that depend on the tree?

I don’t know if I agree with the dude that wrote that line, or not. But it is a good point to ponder. :slight_smile:

Flying cars.

But dammit, when I was kid, everyone was going to have a flying car. They promised!

I think that I shall never glance
At poems lovelier than plants.

I think that I shall never read
A poem pretty as a weed.

I think that I shall never meet
A poem tender as a beet.

I think I’ll never come across
A poem rich and moist as moss.

I think I’d need a lot of practise
To write a poem like a cactus.

I’d need the skills of H. Houdini
To conjure poems like zucchini …

(Plus lots more stanzas. :slight_smile: From The Book of Sequels by Henry Beard et al.)
