When I was a kid I wanted to
learn how to play the piano,
but my parents couldn’t afford to buy me an entire piano,
but they did get me the piano stool.
So, I mostly practiced my posture.

Trefology: reasonable hourly rates
After carefully weighing
all of my options,
I used the first of my three wishes,

The genie just stopped & gave me a real funny look.

They say that when the head
is severed from the body,
there re-mains a single
moment of consciousness.
If that is true, and I was to be guillotined,
my head dropped into a basket,
I pray I won’t find another severed-head all ready in it,
because that would freak me out.

Worried about your job?
Toss a coin into the wishing well.

Of course,
I remember the day
the old molasses plant exploded,
because I got stuck in traffic.
And then, later,
I got stuck on the side-walk.
