Call your Lord in vain;

You say: “O.M.(f)G.”!

Does no one listen?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

‘Though I know you’re wrong,

I will accept your orders

’Til my luck runs out…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Except of course pens,

Greatest invention of all

Bottle opener.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once I thumped a glass.

T’was ultra fine cognac kind…

Horrors — it shattered!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was October.

Nothing was supposed to grow,

I dropped a rice grain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why write on paper?

Computers are all the rage

— Save, or I forget.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I actually heard

Them say, “Handle a Q-tip”

As if it were pure.
