A poem that logically makes no sense.
Readers, I
always lie.

Ode to a Browser
There once was a browser named Firefox
That shipped, but without an entire box--
So perfectly cool,
Took IE to school
And made me say, "riding the wire rocks!"
 
Kaly & moM Went a Fishin'
Kaly and moM went a fishin'.
Thursday we set off to get
The peace that Kaly was missin',
But , oops, we forgot the net!

To Wal-Mart we went for the wormies.
Two dozen we bought for the day.
Nightcrawlers, all juicy and squirmy
Cut in two (they go further that way).

She baited her hook with Ulysses,
And me with his half-brother Paul,
Proceeding to catch us some fishies,
Twenty-three fishies in all.

That afternoon, when we had finished
Baiting and catching in turn,
I found myself perfectly famished,
But the sandwich smelled somewhat like worm.

Leaving, we smiled at the excess
Of fun and fishies and clear
That again we might find a recess
To try out her sparkling new gear.

FISHIN'
There once was a lass who was missin'
The peace that she got while out fishin'.
She hadn't a sou
But did know a Sue
Who helped her get what she was wishin'.

Josh's Poem
I feel I should write
for this blog-en-masse
lest anyone smite
my unblogging pass
 
Short poems regarding the beginning of the television season.
"Joey"
looks showy.

"Father of the Pride"
is Jekyll? Nope, a Hyde.

"Amazing Race"
beats "Will and Grace."

"Gilmore Girls"
won't make me hurl.

"Quintuplets"
sucktuplets.

"MAD-TV"
is betterly.
(If marginly.)

"'CSI: NY'
is three too many": I.

"Bernie Mac"
is just too slack.

"COPS"
is tops.

Josh Toasted
A toast to Josh, for service grand
In unblog's rhythmic, rhyming land!
Three cheers for his undying love
And postings like the one above.
 
The Limerick of Stagnation
There once was a cesspool of verses
That prompted a bevy of curses
From readers who wanted
The unblog they haunted
To be livelier than a hearse is.

A Song for My Granola Bar
Alas! My weary stomach churns.
The day grows old and hunger burns.
There is one thing that my soul yearns --
To eat my dear granola bar.

The perfect mix of oats and rice,
That chewiness that is so nice,
The chunks of fruit and hint of spice --
'Tis you, my dear granola bar.


[I should stop this little game
Before things cease to be so tame,
but please do add more of the same.
A song with just two verses? lame]
 
A poem that grumbles about a lack of poems.
You'd think with all these authors
there'd be more in unblog's coffers.
 
Rules
  1. no prose in posts or comments except as part of a comic or cartoon or an Andrew Peterson book review
  2. no free verse. Free verse is bad prose masquerading as creativity.
  3. no verse that is qualitatively indistinguishable from free verse, even if some champion of formlessness has gone to the trouble of branding and relabeling it as something else
  4. no rants (except the above), even in haiku
  5. no insipidity
