Boom

After defeating fascists on two fronts,
The greatest generation, still undaunted,
Married in haste, in record setting amounts,
And had as many children as they wanted.
They welcomed new life, after facing doom.
That’s the story of the baby boom.

Frozen

If your turkey’s so big
It inspires awe,
It might be time
To begin the thaw.

His Food Bill May Put You In Debt

The elephant seal
Is less than ideal
As a pet.

He eats lots of fishes
And sleeps where he wishes
And seldom shows signs of regret.

My Dear Watson

What canal runs through
Both peasants and gentry?
The answer, I tell you,
Is quite alimentary.

Precondition

I’d like the opportunity
To testify under immunity.
But first I need to join a plot
To do some things that we should not.

In Passing

As to the weather, let’s make one thing clear:
Autumn was my favorite day this year.

Dead Language

Saw this in an NBC article:

‘Asked to further elaborate on her statement regarding bribery, Pelosi said, "Well, you know we’re talking Latin around here — e pluribus unum, from anyone, quid pro quo, bribery, and that is in the Constitution, attached to the impeachment proceeding."’

“E pluribis unum” is not “from anyone” - it’s “from many, one”! They sound similar, but what is going on here? I’m going to give Pelosi the benefit of the doubt, and blame the reporter, Rebecca Shabad.

I hope they fix it.
Ipse dixit!

I too use cookies to improve performance.
When work is dragging, the boost can be enormous.

Ahead of Schedule

When the cold comes early

My attitude gets surly. 

I prefer more time to prepare

For the arrival of arctic air. 

CST

I’m glad we got that hour back.
All summer long, I felt its lack.
But must the afternoon fade to black?
