A Pie Rhyme

the moons cause tides the stars cause yawning
the midday sun can cause sunstroke 
a nasa staffer thought before he
passed out on miami beach

In modern Russian poetry, there is such a genre as "stish'ok-pirozh'ok" (a pie rhyme). It's an iambic tetrameter quatrain, a feminine ending in the first and third lines, no rhymes, punctuation and capital letters. The content is frivolous or humorous. Black humor is welcome. Something like an English limerick, but simpler. Hoping, the soupers would like it)
