Poetry: the best words in the best order.

“If you are a dreamer come in.
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar
A hoper, a prayer, a magic-bean-buyer.
If you’re a pretender come sit by my fire
for we have some flax golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!”
― Shel Silverstein
For a fairly young kid I've seen a lot of strange things,
like a calf with three heads and the creepy that brings.

Disarmament
They say there's no atheism in the foxhole. While I wasn't currently neck-deep in a river of soft sediment, I was still praying to whoever would listen. Why am I doing this again? I would ponder while staring at the device that in no less than a minute could be my undoing. I scanned each and every variable panel and commonplace button as I watched the bright red L.E.D ticker countdown. No wires to cut, no code to put in, there was only one way to stop this infernal machine, and that incurred perfect timing.

Jason, this was so filled with mirth and an absolute pleasure to read! Your ability to endlessly rhyme is such a talent most don’t possess.Definitely a wonderful tale for parents and teachers to read to children. I feel this will also ignite an interest in reading. Looking forward to the subsequent adventures of Sharkzilla!
