Who jumped out of a large envelope.

Alexa says it won’t rain today.
I put my coat on anyway.
Sure enough, it rains again.

The weather forecast!

Smiled with great delight,
As again, he reached for his pen.

Spend my days eating lettuce in Slough!”

When a young lady who is very inclusive
Said, “our love it will not be exclusive”.

The Coming Halloween
Soon it will be Halloween.
I will hide behind gravestones
For a laugh. Jumping out as you pass.
But should cold old bones
Find me on Halloween, I will loudly scream!
