Petty Annoyances: Three Silly Poems
The Coffee Table Has Multiple Purposes...
I.Occasional Furniture
Coffee tables serve but three purposes:
to demonstrate
the immortal nature
of dust;
to display the books
you never intend
to read;
and
to assure you that
you do, in fact,
have shins.
Blame the Dentist
II. Ouch! Shocking!
Of all the experiences
to be had in life,
There are bound to be those
that cause you strife.
The one among these
that I find most chilling
Is the occasion of your fork
meeting up with
a filling.
Jelly Inside
III. Yuck!
Why do I love
filled donuts so much?
Well,
(I really like the filling.)
But
It might be rather messy,
you see
to order a handful
of jelly.
