Junk Mail

I know it’s the year of election
When I find in my mail such confection.
I’m glad it’s just junk mail
And not a bad skunk tail
Though its absence would still be perfection.

In locating the needed tissue
It fixes my runny
Nose ‘fore it gets funny
I sneeze, and my neighbors say bless you.

Which Part of an Elephant Do You Like?

If given my choice of a part
Of an elephant I’d pick the heart
The ears are too fan-like
And trunks are so grand-like
But heart is the part set apart.
