There was an old woman from Germany who went to the bank to get her money. "It may seem quite strange, but I'll take it in change. I buy vending machine sausage when there's urgency."

Dragon-slayer or Drunkard? [Common Meter]
I see so many statues of dragon-slayers mid-kill. The winged serpents pierced by a lance conjures up such a thrill. But there're no dragons, never were. So, what were they slaying. Dinos went extinct before our time is all that I'm saying. So, were they killing geckos, or maybe a rock lizard? Maybe chickens, given the wings? Struck right through the gizzard! Could it be St. George liked to drink or was tripping ergot? To earn so many statues, he'd a publicist, I bet. "The dragons were metaphorical!" OK, that's really swell, but shouldn't George's heroism be figurative as well?

In the Shadows [Free Verse]
Sunlight breaks over the city, and the people on the streets remain within the shadows. But those who turn their heads up see the vibrant colors, while those who stare down to the pavement drift deeper into shadow.
