CENTER>PUZZLING
A lot of things in this world
Really puzzle me.
And I’m sure they’ll puzzle you as well.
If you look at them logically.
Why does an egg plant have no eggs
And a hamburger have no ham?
A guinea pig doesn’t come from Guinea
And it isn’t even a pig.
Writers write but authors don’t ‘auth’
At a recital they play; at a play they recite.
If vegetarians eat vegetables,
What do humanitarians eat?
An alarm goes off by going on,
While your house burns up, it’s burning down.
And even our bodies are built to confuse.
We have noses that run and feet that smell.
I could go on forever
But I’m sure you’ve got the gist.
I’ll leave you now dear reader
To work on your own list.

Bingo dice faro keno typical vino
recall of mind, yet but O' no
what have i done?!
Plucky feeling risk taker
tho' ne're been there ever
doth think economist specs ever wonder
how truth thou art has kinder
No they never , not of what i think
held by cruel little ring
yet they bolt all the thing
by one mysterious yet ming
politics it is; thou art has force
beyond mans cause
and so forth i am bound to live under that auth
there it be cause , surrounded by foes

My failures are rough but teach.
My errors, windows to truth.
Before discovery, I don’t hear the Greek,
“Eureka!” but “Huh…?” How uncouth!
Meeting a contradiction, I reach,
What the Author intended to auth,
Does this mean this world has a mean streak?
No, I think after hard work must ensueth,
Humility, for man needs help to be meek.
