Turtles on the Runway
And now, for today's original poem, ripped straight from (okay, more like "inspired by") this summer's headlines. Yes. Really.
Turtles on the runway
snails are on the tracks
sloths are on the highway
with babies on their backs
a whale is in the river
and nothing can be done
slow is taking over
hey, lethargy is fun!
The hare was running backwards
and laughing at his foe
creeping down the pathway
and speeding up to “slow”
Harebrain tripped, got knocked out
and tortoise stopped to say
“I called for reinforcements
and help is on the way!”
'night.

Things my son said
While watching an episode of Bones, in which the characters are sifting through trash in search of clues for the umpteenth time: "Looks like they got the pick of the litter."
Him: "I didn't know we had more barbecue sauce."
Me: "Neither did I."
Him: "Do you think Santa brought it?"
"Why are there no more snack-type foods? I mean, aside from the fact that I ate them all."
'night
