if hell-hound cerberus I should meet
with three heads with which to eat
and thrice the leavings in the dew
off three shoes I'd be scraping poo

So you indicate your appendages are three?
Instead of the human normal of two.
Or do you just carry an extra
So you have a spare shoe?

tis the remains of sam
my siamese twin on the lam
he disappeared one night lame
after betting an arm and a leg in a poker game
they're more than just mere muscle and bones
I can now tell time in three different zones.

Uncle!!!

No, wait
I can’t stop here, I’m taking the bait.
Rhyming is good for a snowy day.
It’s fun for a slow day, a blown day.
An out of my mind in every way day.
I am woefully certain,
I can’t take much more
I’ll be smoking the curtain
that I wretchedly ripped,
while looking outside
as the temperature dipped.
My lilacs have died!
Again!

such sad news as this
my rhymes shall cease
to syringa vulgaris
may they rest in peace
