Screamlined

Though taught to say “How do you do?”
“Hello there”; even “How are you?”‘
Today’s child, full of sway and swing,
Lets “Hi-yuh” cover everything.

Scat, Cat

Haldeman’s have a cat named Mable
They have to shoo from off the table,
This dear people is no fable:
I’d rather eat in any stable.

Post-Introduction

So glad I met you, Mrs.–er–
I hope all your perceptions blur,
Because I hate you? Not at all.
For your odd name I can’t recall.
Repeat it , and I wish you lice
For making me forget it twice.

Paradox

“I’m sorry,” said he, “To intrude,”
Which leaves me slightly fuzzy:
If he was conscious he was rude,
Why wuzzy?
