A Maccaronious Statement
That’s a
maccaronious statement,
she announced.
It was the last
time she ever
tried to sound
cultured.
Everyone at the
dinner table
kept laughing.
She got up from
the table
and stormed off
even though they
had done nothing
and she had done
it all.
The Flying Penguin
He was the worst
graduate
in the school’s
history.
A bird that
couldn’t fly.
There was a
shortage of pilots
and the
standards were lowered.
So that his
fellow fighter pilots
came to christen
his plane:
The Flying
Penguin.
As it was seen
as no small
miracle
each time he
made it
off the ground.
Duplex
Every time
you erupt in
anger,
a volcano
in a different
world
goes off.
