Oops, My Bad
A beautiful blond danced nude on a stump
when a hunter passed by with his shotgun pumped.
So strange to see such a sight on this trail,
And our hesitant hunter had no interest in jail,
So he asked, ”you’re pretty, but are you ‘game’?”
When she smiled and said yes... he blew her away.
Yes, common sense was lacking here,
it was not the season for stalking ‘dears’.
But homonyms suck, no splitting ‘hares‘
and homophones too, when hunting for ‘bare’?
Ell Dee, L.D.
The dogs bark,
and their fur so dark,
they chase a lark,
but miss their mark.
Forget to crawl low,
forget to move slow,
fur standing out in snow,
upwind the wind does blow,
and to silence, the anser is no.
Don't catch prey,
not any day,
though they may say,
as their fur grows gray,
and their to lazy to even play.

Three Blind Mice
Three Blind Mice
Slipped on the rice
The farmer’s got a gun
Run micey, run
One blind mouse
Made it out the house
He dodged a girl with a carving knife
She looked a bit like the farmer’s wife
Three Blind Mice
Another blind mouse
Also dodged the spouse
He made it back to their secret hole
Which after all, was his only goal
The other blind mouse
Was helped by a louse
Got on a plane and flew to Peru
Cos that’s a thing that fugitives do

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Spreadsheet
I.
Don’t use column A or row 1.
Just don’t.
II.
Even in spreadsheets, pictures are worth more than words.
Take time, google some images; people will pay attention and
You are paid by the hour.
III.
Learn how to resize rows and columns.
You can google it.
IV.
Vivid color is the core of the beauty of this world
But too many colors
Make a spreadsheet hard to read.
V.
Boxes tend to blend together hypnotically
Turn off grid-lines and headers, and chart borders
You can google it.
VI.
Although fun to kill time,
Avoid using more than two fonts.
VII.
3D charts don’t work in a 2D medium.
Google it.
VIII
If your book gets too many pages --
Table of contents.
IX
Always observe the page delineations.
Somebody might just print this thing.
X
Freeze Panes
You can google it.
XI
Headings should stand out.
People want to know what you are
Trying to illustrate
XII
“Zebra Stripes”
You can google it.
XIII
Everything depends
on
A well crafted
Spreadsheet
From a faded blue
Lawn-chair
Beside the white
chickens.
Answering Nature’s Call
There it lies, beside the river bank, attracting flies.
In a lump of brown and black
The aroma would give even a skunk a heart attack.
It was planted
in a time of desperation,
A moment of weakness.
I just could not hold it in.
Crouching there above the leaves,
My bottom naked and vulnerable,
I frantically looked for a material to wipe with.
I even contemplated using my sleeve.
I found the cleanest leaf I could find --
You must understand, I really was in quite a grind.
Pinch, wipe,
Drip dry.
Never again
Will I leave the house
Without a roll of two-ply.
