Firstdogonthemoon presents the Animal of the Day

I wrote a poem…

in today’s editorial meeting while everyone was talking about the ETS. So when I was talking about the ETS cartoon I was going to draw, I had to ask everyone to repeat themselves. I thought this was quite funny but I am not sure everyone else did.

Here is the poem.

I was a happy rubber band
but nobody would hold my hand
and so I was a little sad
and I became a rubber bad

the end

    And I’m your muse.

    Where would you be without me?

    Where’s my credit?

    It’s the last time I flick rubber bands at you!

    I have lodged a formal complaint with the OH&S officer and will be seeking compensation for work related stress. Fortunately for everyone, I am able to use the pain and suffering from the unprovoked rubber band attack as inspiration for my poetry.

    What is the difference between a newsroom and a child-care centre?

    Child-care center has adult supervision

    Hmm……..Let’s just say….as a poet, you make a reasonable cartoonist.

    None of your last three posts have been about an animal. Less social commentary and more animals, please.

    Obviously, you’re underemployed and underpaid because if you were gainfully employed then the quality of your poetry would improve. Maybe.

    It’s like a haiku in that I don’t get it
