A football raffle? With your talent, seems unfair-- You were a shoe win.
Life is stressful now, But bad puns? There's no excuse. I should be ashamed.
Mermaid met centaur Had two beautiful children, Human and seahorse
Heavens to Betsy! Snagglepuss haiku are fun Amusing, even
Snagglepuss accent Now intrudes on all I read! Major Minor Laughs
Meta poetry Lives on in spite of it all In 50/90
This year won't kill my Productivity, I say Unproductively
