Utter Nonsense

There are some things in life, that seem a bit absurd! Like why is "abbreviated," such a long word? Doctors are thoroughly Schooled and Trained. Consequently, I'm quite appalled, cause once they start seeing patients, "Their Practice" is what it's called! Another thing that bugs me, is why people have such trust, when the person who handles their assets, is called "Their Broker"! That seems unjust! Do any of you folks ever wonder, maybe not, but I certainly do, if a number two pencil's the favorite, why is it still number "2"? About now, you're probably thinking, he must be a pain to his wife! If you could talk to me right now, you'd probably say "Hey, pal - Get a life! So that's enough of this drivel. I probably should throw it away. It's just a bunch of nonsense, what more is there to say. Sorry people, back to my padded cell!

Ralph, you are card. You should be shuffled and dealt with. :) Seriously, I love your sense of humor in this poem. Great job and you covered many good elements in it. I think the pencil thing was sharp (pun intended). Thanks for your comments on my win in the Taxes contest

Where have you been all my life, Ralph? I just LOVE your sense of humor. My favorite verse was the one about doctors who "practice," for that is exactly what they do. Sound treatment is a thing of the past. As for the number 2 pencil, I haven't a clue why it ranks second place. LOL Very funny and enjoyable to read. Love, Carolyn
