Three Double Dactyls

Making Light Among the Tombs

What if the grave were an
Evitability?
Verses might yet flow from
Anthony Hecht.

Still, his mortality
Fostered such lively wit,
It's a dead cert he knew
What to expect.

Wands & Cauldrons

Hogwarts Academy
Headmaster Dumbledore,
Mentoring teens in four
Wizard school dorms,

Keeps a keen eye on their
Abracadabratude
As they brave occult and
Hormonal storms.

Off Her Chest

Shutterbug nemesis
Jennifer Aniston
Warned, "Taking shots of my
Tits is a tort;

Rein in your penchant for
Exomammography.
Otherwise, I'll see your
Assets in court."
