Feathers and Prejudice

Tree Feather.

I thought that I would never see
A feather growing on a tree.
Feathers are made by birds, you see,
But only trees can make a tree.

(Parody of Joyce Kilmer)

I've Nothing Against Them, But...

(Provoked by hearing that phrase, and thinking, "Here we go...")

I've nothing against them, but
I'd kill the sons of bitches,
And claim that they were  witches,
And cast a spell on me.

I've nothing against them, but
They are entirely barmy;
I'd make them join the army
And send them to their deaths.

I've nothing against them, but
I'd ravish all their ladies,
And send them all to Hades,
The place where they belong.

I've nothing against them, but
Their ways are quite disgusting,
And though they might be trusting,
I'd kill them anyway.

Big Bang.

The Universe erupted from a single spot,
Expanded very quickly, and a lot.

The Balance of Positive and Negative Forces

Reality has this most peculiar twist.
Taken overall, the Universe does not exist.

A Beauty in her Youth

It used to be so easy,
When you were young and squeezy,
But men are now so cold,
Since you've grown fat and old.
