All the King’s Horses

A downpour on mountain terrain.
A strap breaks under the strain.
The carriage a wreck, 
The king breaks his neck. 
In the rain a rein ruined his reign.

 

The Selection

Said the waiter to Abagail Schmeel,
Our special is free-range veal.
Or, if you prefer
Something with fur,
Our free-range vole is a steal.

 

Feckless

A feckless young man from Quebec,
Tried to get into Carnegie Tech.
To his utter dismay,
They turned him away,
For totally lacking in feck.
