A Little Mixed Up

 

 

Sir, I admit your general rule,
 That every poet is a fool:
But you yourself may serve to show it,
 That every fool is not a poet.

- Alexander Pope -

 

On the Vanity of Earthly Greatness

The tusks that crashed in mighty brawls
Of mastodons are billiard balls.

The sword of Charlemagne the Just
Is ferric oxide, known as rust.

The grizzly bear, whose potent hug,
Is feared by all is now a rug.

Great Caesar's dead and on the shelf,
And I don't feel so well myself.

Mommy Brain

If you've left the crayons to melt in the car,
And forgotten just where the car keys are,
There's a perfectly good way to explain:
You see, you've come down with "Mommy Brain."
When you're not sure where the past 8 hours went,
Or whether the phone bill check's been sent,
If you've left the laundry drying in the rain,
It's just--you guessed it--Mommy Brain.
If you find yourself chatting for hours on end
About diaper prices with your cyber friends,
You've just caught a particularly virulent strain
Of that affliction known as Mommy Brain.
