Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Nerves and Needles

Deathly afraid of needles
    Barbie began to whine and wheedle
  
  Aw, Doc, before you plunge in that syringe
    Listen to this, try not to cringe

  Studies show that needle-induced trauma
    afflicts 98% of birthing mommas...

  But Doc went ahead, stuck in that sharp pole
    Bwa-ha-ha ~ another win for population control

Vickey Rhymer September 13, 2022 at 8:52 AM Mr.Wolf!(Said as Mr.Christian)Just think how many homesteads just Ted Turners land holdings could house alone.And in the immortal words of my dear departed mother"point out the one you want me to knock in the head", when questioned if she and my father were trying to start their own nation.

Elizabeth Mccann September 13, 2022 at 3:13 AM Yeah, you gotta think: do we have enough people yet? Eliz. Gershon Wolf September 13, 2022 at 7:31 AM I don't think we have nearly enough people. Most parts of the USA, for example, are wilderness. Probably 75% or so. (Just a guess). Right now, we're on track for the USA and Western Europe to be underpopulated very soon, as there are fewer births than deaths every year. Hmm. :) Gershon Wolf September 13, 2022 at 7:13 AM I don't think we have nearly enough people. Most parts of the USA, for example, are wilderness. Probably 75% or so. (Just a guess).

L Milton Hankins September 12, 2022 at 7:19 PM I don't think I quite understand this one, gw, but that's not so unusual. Sometimes I'm rather dense! Gershon Wolf September 13, 2022 at 7:11 AM Not to worry, Milt. The guy who wrote this doesn't understand it either! :)
