The coffin was made of cheap plastic, With duct tape and bits of elastic. The occupant's will Said "Keep down the bill!" Which they did – but the effort looked drastic.

The moonlight that rivers reflect Can have a romantic effect. But in this regard, I find them quite hard To paint in a way that's correct.

"My novel", said Proust, "is immense, But it's frankly too hard to condense. There's much that's allusive, So cuts aren't conducive To fully retaining its sense".

The modern obsession with fame Is two-edged, celebrities claim. You're apt to be mobbed And mindlessly robbed By devotees chanting your name.

In spring, when the river's in spate, The valley folk often vacate Their homes, due to mud And possible flood. In winter, of course, they can skate.

The theremin makes a weird sound When a skilled player's hands move around. But I think its effect Is hard to detect In an orchestra, where it gets drowned.

I went for a diamond ring To a merchant in downtown Beijing. His dialect made It hard, I'm afraid, But I managed to purchase the thing.

Each waxwork I saw on display Looked lifeless, or flawed in some way. I yelled "It's not funny – I've wasted my money!" "Stop beefing", I heard the guide say.

The hardness of life in a slum Makes people resentful and glum. If you happen to get Big bucks from a bet, To stay in such places is dumb.
