72 Miles From The Sea

Tuesday’s child

Is full of grace

Except when she’s

Totally off her face

I have taken pride in unusual quarters

And I speak knowing that pride is wrong

One proud moment, was when a website

Told me my password was “Very Strong.”

“Revenge is a dish best served cold”

Is an old saying but is due some negation

As it feels best served piping hot,

Straight out of the oven of indignation

A diplomat is a man who always,

Robert Frost stated quite sage,

Who remembers a woman’s birthday

But never remembers her age

Lily Tomlin always

Wanted to be somebody

She could have been

More specific probably

A paraphrasing of one of the great Lily Tomlin’s gags

My best friend comes from a long line

Of kleptomaniacs but he is the laziest of them

In fact he’s so lazy he could win an award

You really do have to hand it to him...

I was watching a documentary on TV

Last night about the viewing audience

And the decline in their attention spans

Well I watched some of it in my defense
