Irrational Exuberance
The Pi Piper is
One of my friends
I love his music
It never ends
Going Deep
Think about the time
With people you keep
Measured not just how long
But also how deep
Limerick (Untitled)
That puppeteer surely can guess
The way that he brings happiness
There’s tons of pizzazz
Because this guy has
A big hand in each show’s success
Chimney
My chimney has a bird home
Where they can come to rest
Around our house we call it
One flue over the cuckoo’s nest
Up in the Air
The paint flinging class
Couldn’t be duller
But I passed it
With flying colors
Milk of Amnesia
Like a simple, magic diet pill
That’s oh so very cheap
Fox News melts your thoughts away
While you sleep
Deep Sleep
He sleeps eight hours every day
And though that’s just about right
He also puts in another
Ten of them at night
