Hostess With the Mostess

No one bids adieu

Better than the stew

Taking in future and past

In a sendoff lean and fast

Proving thoughtful prep–

“Bye-bye, take care, watch your step.” Read full post »

Epitaph for Mark Zuckerberg


My fate was Facebook,

One of life's quirks,

Devised by a genius

To be used by jerks.

Saint Caffeine

A major government study has found
that frequent coffee drinkers have a lower
risk of dying from a variety of diseases
compared with people who drink little or no coffee.
 -- New York Times


Perhaps you won't be resurrected

And fear that this is how you're fated

But onetime villain coffee gives hope

Ballad of the Online Son

"O, tell me, Danny, sweet Danny,
Exactly why are ye glued
To the devil's own contraption
Far worse than coming home stewed?"

"O, Mother, dear Mother, forgive me
For getting your nerves all ajangle,
But I've mountains of emails to work through
Lest my friendships they wither and mangle."

"But Danny, my poor… Read full post »

Facebook Defriended

Designed by geniuses

To make cyber bucks,

Employed incessantly

By hapless schmucks. 


Life-deaffirming,

Such is Facebook;

Shrinks might term it

An online Casebook. Read full post »

Sugar makes people dumber, US scientists find

Before you sweeten that coffee cup

And come upon news that stirs you up,

Consider this about a scientist:

He won't make the list without a twist.

He knows from his researches that

Sucking In Billions

 


"Are you mom enough?" asks Time,
With a woman holding her tot
Closely and lovingly
As she feeds him at her tit.

Look for the cover on Facebook
And you're bound to holler "Hark!"
For the boy who's broadly beaming
Is none other than Baby Mark. Read full post »

Obama, Alas


His favorite dish is waffles

On his plate and on the shelf.

His eye is on the voters

But I know he thinks of himself.

Going By the Book

Wally Calor watched his health,
Following all the rules,
Stressing beta carotene,
Foods as good as jewels.

Net effect was energy bonus,
Making a healthy fellow,
Even if the B-C sources
Turned him orange-yellow.

Also on a daily basis,
Eight glasses of

Piece o' Take

Why’s it known as takeout
When we needn’t go out at all?
That’s what we eat at home
So take-in’s a better call.

Brits call their eat-ins takeaway,
Suggestive as can be–
Take-that-away is something
On which we Yanks agree.

CIA thwarts new, more sophisticated underwear bombs--NPR headline

What makes the bomb sophisticated

Is the ingenious trigger mechanism

That makes the male underwearer

A source of security pessismism.

Little Romance in Cats


Since children's author Ezra Jack Keats

Was called Jack Katz on the Brooklyn streets,

Could it be John Keats, who wrote in flats,

Also began his life as Jack Katz?

Tripping

Your verse responder is Euro-bound

Impatient to hear a different sound:

English, with the music missing,

(Distinct from Ireland's verbal kissing),

And French, which every Gallic groover

Attacks with ardent nasal maneuver.

April in Paris? No, in London,
 
In hopes that weather allows some fun done,

Parkadise Lost

 

You've circled the block five times
In search of a spot for your car,
Frustration mounting fast
Making you wish for a bar.

And then an oasis appears:
A woman sliding in
Behind a Chevy wheel.
Beats a tonic-and-gin!

You parallel your Ford
And quickly mouth "Going out?"
And in response she nods
Her head--s

Busy Work Fingers

 

Today's typical office
With everyone in a cubicle
Is as quiet as a mouse,
A seachange that's acoustical

No more the telephone chitchat,
The everlasting chatter,
No more the sound of banter,
Chewing on what's the matter.

Computers totally reign!
Every single morning
Women are online shopping
And men--wha

Time's Folly

How very bizarre is age,

A thing that won't enrage,

More likely to bring a chortle.

Only the young are immortal.

Real maturity,

According to his ex,


Consists of losing all


Interest in sex.
