Verses from Stories in Today's Washington Post -- The creator of the labradoodle says he made ‘Frankenstein’s monster’ -- A woman mistook wasabi for avocado. The shock led to ‘broken heart syndrome.’ -- The traditional hand gesture for “okay” is now considered a sign of hatred, along with 35 other signs, by a prominent Jewish civil rights organization that maintains a database of hate symbols.

How much is that doggie in the window?

The one with two heads and a horn.

How much is that doggie in the window?

I wish it had never been born!

I must take it to a laboratory

and leave the poor thing in the hands

of scientists crazed by morbid ideas,

who'll poke it and give it some scans.

I read in the papers of gene splicing

which certainly gets me to think

that doggies would be a better subject

to turn into muskrat or mink!!

********************************************

When sampling wasabi please be careful as you gulp;
the stuff is pretty blazing and can turn your gut to pulp.
It isn't avocado or pea soup or jelly mints;
those who will abuse it get intestines made of chintz.
It's only good with sushi; otherwise the stuff should be
given to a HazMat team to throw into the sea!

Body language has become divisive and contentious,
with so-called experts spouting off -- ever so pretentious.
So keep all hands in pockets or you might just start a rumble,
and wind up at the guillotine via cart or tumbril.
