An entire roasted chicken
Was supposed to make a stew
But we needed some leftovers
If that's what we planned to do.
A loaf of bread for sandwiches
Was gone inside a day
And half the seaweed packs
Disappeared in the same way.
He'll eat the ramen dry
And down berries by the pint
If there's food you thought he wouldn't eat
I'm telling you he might!

Yet another week to rest from
Wonder what my doc will say
Meanwhile, I just want to sleep in
Obligations still do stay.

My mind was not at work today
Perhaps, like blood, it drained away
I could not follow where it went
Or what the thoughts were that it sent
So there I sat, my pencil drawn
But plans were going... going... gone.

Some stories are great if you want a good cry
Stay away, though, if you want a dry eye!
It would have been nice if a warning were there
But no, I was reading, and crying, "No fair!"

I know that science simplifies
When concepts may be new
No need to overcomplicate
And muddy up the view
When trying to introduce the fact
That one and one are two

But when you have a star that shines
Still putting out its glow;
Black holes may have accretion discs;
Inside, no shining though.
Put one inside the other? That's
Collapsing -- or a show.

So why is social media
Pretending this was found?
Unless it supernovaed, no such
Star would be around.
And only supermassive stars
Could reach the black hole pounds.

It's not the first junk science there
And will not be the last.
Astronomy or medicine,
Whatever will sell fast.
Just remember in the future
Who's been lying in the past.

When all the music's wrong
When all the notes are sour
And all the drums off beat
And words just make you glower

Turn off the radio
Then sit and breathe in deep
Reach down and find your words
And part your lips to speak.

Worknight
Checklist
Have I
Done this?
Is that
Ready?
Twins go
Beddy
(Lunches
Packed? No?
Morning's
Black though...)
