Moments When You Think You've Raised Them Right

Keegan Hurt His Knee Today

　

Two eggs who once shared a womb,

A life that follows sharing a room.

Brothers who fight like household species,

Stopping just short of flinging their feces.

Life and death immaterial to see who wins,

Singular victory the spoils in a battle of twins.

Venom and vinegar spew forth untapped

Fueling mindless battles in which they are trapped.

Seemingly intent on destroying heart and soul,

During war waged for a cereal bowl.

And then Keegan hurt his knee today,

One day after Riley was cleared to play.

And so the joy of Riley’s return,

Is cremated and left alone in an urn.

Bitterness goes wanting, nor is it sought,

His brother is hurt, unable to walk.

Unnoticed, a father watches with stress,

Then sees who is helping who, get dressed.

Seeing Riley place a sock on his brother’s foot,

Love and war, in perspective, is neatly put.

Turn That Frown Upside...Oh, Forget It

     This woman was arrested for prostitution.  I'll assume somone has already contacted DOT maintenance for the burned out bulb in that street light.  Do you think the john clawed his own eyes out before or after?  It takes 43 muscles to frown, but to do what this lady is doing also requires four-wheel drive, a chain and the anchor from the Queen Mary.  If the Grimace was a woman, this is her.  They went through seventeen vice detectives before they found one that could keep a straight face while propositioning her.  The guy they found to pull it off had LASIK surgery the day after he arrested this woman and sued his superiors for making him perform his job in an unsafe work environment.  They settled out of court immediately.  The day this woman's mug shot was posted online, twenty-three monastaries had to stop taking applicants.  Women like this are why men have opposable thumbs.
