For hosting our prank
This imbecile
Would like to thank
Our dear Cecil
To prevent this thread’s
Dissolution
Here will I tread
Evolution
What other topic
Would prick up ears
And bring on epic
Reponses here
Verses this fine
Causing mind dance
Something divine?
Or random chance?
Which came first,
Chick or egg?
Answers please,
Don’t make me beg.

This thread’s a wonder
Yes, it’s true
Eleven posters
But pages two?

And the problem with small furry animals
in corners is that, just occasionally,
one of them’s a mongoose.

The first egg-layer:
a dinosaur
then chicks evolved
and laid some more.
Did chicks evolve?
Not all, I feel.
Some still watch
Ally McBeal.
Back off, man. I’m a scientist.
The laughs were real
The jingles swell
I wish you all
A fond farewell

I too am,
Out of here,
On my way,
For a beer.
I’ll leave this for,
You, my friend,
I’d rather drink,
than bartend
Dopeler effect:

Ally McBeal, I must say.
Is a show thats really grossa.
Its a good way to make young girls
pick up Anorexia Nevosa

Here’s another
For the mix
We can call it
Stupid poet tricks.
BURMA SHAVE!

However, in Tennessee, it is apparently legal to rub dead squirrels upon unsuspecting schoolgirls.
Folks know not
To drink and drive
So pass the keys
And keep alive!

And now, for my next trick, I will talk in spooky half-references.

Now Sterling,
Don’t yourself berate

Wow, I was on a Burma Shave ditty kick a while back ( during a long cold winter) and wanted to do one on our (private drive/dirt road) street to get the idiots to slow down.Espcially the gd garbarge trucks who are ruining the road, but I digress.
I came up with a couple pretty clever ( I must say) ones and CANNOT FIND THEM . ARGH.
I shall have to rattle my skull and see if I can duplicate genius twice in my lifetime.
Meanwhile, a lame attempt:
To cold to stay out.
Get outta the wind.
We sat in the house
Shaving our chin.

(Yes, it’s a rip off/hat tipper to Dr. Suess. I have a toddler, bite me.)

When you tell us to bite.
Garbage men will see
and it won’t look quite right.

To young to realize!
Burma Shave is too old-

If your mouth should
Fill up with hair
Note
You can use it
Anywhere
Burma Shave
Get your face smooth
As all sweet heck
Then get thee to
A discotheque
Burma Shave
It’s mighty easy
To sit right here
And type a ditty
That doesn’t rhyme.
