There once was a writer from St. Paul
Who could only write well in the fall.
With the leaves off the trees
She saw her neighbors with ease.
And then she could record it all.

My beauty is now /
In this moment, at this place. /
See me; see yourself.

You can have it all. /
Except not at the same time. /
The truth never ends.

There once was a writer from Maine
Whom everybody thought was insane.
He wrote big books on evil
and owned pet boll weevil.
No one could cotton to him or complain.
Summer’s verdant leaves /
Whisper to the shaggy grass: /
Birds love us the best.

There once was a writer named Stone
Who tried writing on his smart phone.
It started off fine
But then he got behind:
All the apps wouldn’t leave him alone.

The reign in Splain Falls /
manely on the plane. /
And what misses goes down in Seine. /
I cried a river when you road the train. /
Me heart aorta be of a tougher strain. /
The reign in Splain Falls /
manely on the plane. /
It splatters against the window, /
but I feel no pane.

Love’s an empty town /
With only the clown around /
Tears of joy greet you.

There once was a writer from Memph-is
Whose poetry was all full of guess-is
About the nature of sex.
Was it a blessing or a hex?
And if all things were bigger in Tex-is.
