An alderman told me: "This city Has a landscape that's not very pretty. It needs money to thrive And feel more alive, But sadly we're broke. What a pity!"

"You moron!" my teacher would rasp If I found an idea hard to grasp. I thought it quite hateful – "Please, sir, I'd be grateful For clarification!", I'd gasp.

When talking to fringe politicians With weird and dogmatic positions, Don't holler or squirm. Be friendly but firm: Say 'No' to their crazy ambitions.

A racehorse, alarmed by a spider, Reared up and unseated its rider. Though ripping his shirt, The man was unhurt. (The horse was a hopeless outsider.)
