Poems

--I've been wanting to try my hand at limericks, so here are my first two.  Apparently limericks are supposed to be funny...don't think I quite accomplished that, and the 2nd one is 3 stresses in the first line only if you pronounce it a certain way...oh well.  They're fun to mess around with.

Limerick #1 - Fred

There once was a poet named Fred
Who liked to hum rhymes in his head
Then one day he found
With a thought most profound
That he was a singer instead

Limerick #2

Of the liberal who for president ran
Johnny was not a big fan
To be gay is a sin
He with uplifted chin
Said, and then fell in love with a man

--This next one (not a limerick) I actually started last semester in my statistics class (though I actually got the idea during riding), and just now got around to finishing it.  It's a little odd, but I like the rhyming.  :)

Tick Tock

Tick tock
Life goes by
Hands on the clock
People run awry
