Not Always Feeling It

by Wayne Wysocki

I don't mean to anger or jar you,
But you've hit on a pet peeve of mine;
To answer your question, "How are you?",
I'm required to say, "I'm just fine".

Buddies Under The Sea

by Wayne Wysocki

An unlikely pair of symbionts

In harmony do swim

Through sunny, tropic waters,

Beyond the coral rim;

'Tis strange, for one is monstrous

And one is like a lark;

How oddly they are mated,

The pilot fish and shark.

Presidential Pardons

by Wayne Wysocki

As the president pardoned the turkey

From a fate so horribly grim,

He couldn't help but wonder

Who would be pardoning him.

Drastic Measure

by Wayne Wysocki

There once was a fellow from Fife

In fear of loosing his life.

    He ended his dread

    Of winding up dead

When he cut off his head with a knife!

Reluctant Spender

by Wayne Wysocki

There once was a banker from Kent
Whose life was fanatically bent
    On saving each quid
    Like no other did
And moaning with each pound he spent

Pumpkin Guy

by Wayne Wysocki

A Jack-o-Lantern, it's said,
Had the brain scooped out of his head;
     He was only as bright
     As the dim candle light,
But boy was he handsome instead!

X-Factors

by Wayne Wysocki

Hello, my darling variable,
'Tis me, your dear unknown.
How'd you like to take a chance?
You'd not be all alone.

We'd make a fine equation;
'Twould equal none we've known.
Just you, my darling variable,
And me, your dear unknown.
