Today a jabberific jilly jay
Set out a squall, squawkering up a beat
Within a patch of hilly grass it brayed
jaw-kaw joo-koo jah-wah kee-nee-kaw keet
But what does that mean said I to the thing
the jay looked at me with pretentious might
it bent and twisted like it was a king
and sent me into a flurplous fright
the inconsiderate beast's breadth grew wide
til it was as large as a swollen loon
it squawked and brayed it misbehaved and cried
and squeezed out an egg the size of a moon
I wrote this nonsense poem for my poetry class. Rhyme scheme = ABAB CDCD EFEF

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
