Steel Ruler

Steel Ruler

My steel ruler, Mr I Will 
Toy With Your 
Affections, passed away 
last Wednesday. The doctor said it was a 
severe, sudden disease that 
was going around that got her. At her funeral in 
the backyard I sung to 
her her favourite vowels i and v, then I 
confessed for her to be the 
Cheese Stick snatcher. My stationary wept, then I 
supervised, judged, a 
celebration adagio that was 
secretly a 
competition. Of course, the ones whom didn’t move 
slowly were 
automatically OUT! And the winner was: 
Mr Hole Puncher. No prize was given. Who placed 
2nd? Well, in 
my mind there’s 
no 2nd.
