Jenga [or playing swgt (pronounced swi-jit) and being swft (pronounced swooft)]
One night (yes, it was dark and stormy), I finished writing my English paper and then became bored. So, I decided that I needed a cup of good ole joe from Java Junkies to start my studying for the Algebra test. So I was off, like a shadow, like a comet, like a lithe lemur I made my way in my car. Passing cars here...and THERE!!! Whew, almost hit that oldesmobile...regaining the red apple color to my cheeks and turning on the air conditioner, I raced on...and on...and on. "I must have that Java!!!", said myself, with black eyes of coffee-lust. Into Corinth I sped, slowing ever so slightly to assure no pull-overs from the dread-men-in-blue. I came to the Booneville exit, without slowing an mph I swerved onto Hwy 45. Aha, now it was only moments before my mouth enjoyed the hot sensation of java. The miles rolled by, never seeming to roll fast enough, my foot grew heavier and heavier on the pedal. But no! if I get stopped now, that java will be mine moments later than it should be. So anyway, I made it to Java Junkies, bought my espresso, and began a-studying. About forty-five minutes later, a group of students came in and promptly sat on my sofa as well as the ajoining one (there were not that many to choose from). They began talk of playing monopoly, uno, spades, etc., and I must admit, I was rather intrigued. One of the females engaged me in conversation asking if I was studying for a test or something (I was after all staring blankly at an Algebra book). I replied that I was and she said I must be a good student. So, I continued talking to said female. When they finally decided on a game to play (Solid Wood Tumbling Tower (swgt), an alternate brand of Jenga), they deemed me a worthy candidate to accompany the play. So I did.

After Seeing My Shoes Next to a Mountain of Socks
A hundred socks, but only two shoes.
The odds were overwhelming,
But there was love between those shoes,
"A perfect pair" you might say.
Though the socks opposed and gnashed their teeth,
The love only grew stronger,
Day by Day.
So the shoes decided to runaway,
And they ran fast to my room closet where
I never kept socks,
They knew they'd be safe there.
They planted pair trees and bore much fruit.
And then they suffocated when I wore them to school.

Rhinoceros friends!
I love Ogden Nash, he is absotively posilutely hillarious. He has such a talent for...funniness. So here are a number of poems of his pen.
The Firefly
"The firefly's flame Is something for which science has no name I can think of nothing eerier Than flying around with an unidentified glow on a person's posteerier. "
Further Reflections on Parsley
"Parsley Is gharsley. "
The Purist
"I give you now Professor Twist,A conscientious scientist,Trustees exclaimed, "He never bungles!"And sent him off to distant jungles.Camped on a tropic riverside,One day he missed his loving bride.She had, the guide informed him later,Been eaten by an alligator.Professor Twist could not but smile."You mean," he said, "a crocodile."
Reflections on Ice-Breaking
"Candy Is Dandy But liquor Is quicker."
The Abominable Snowman
"I’ve never seen an abominable snowman, I’m hoping not to see one, I’m also hoping, if I do, That it will be a wee one. "
The Termite
"Some primal termite knocked on wood And tasted it, and found it good! And that is why your Cousin May Fell through the parlor floor today. "
The Ant
"The ant has made himself illustriousThrough constant industry industrious.So what?Would you be calm and placidIf you were full of formic acid?"
