Premium Member Cat-E-Gori-Cal

At the Oakland Zoo, a birth historical
Is neither fable now allegorical
An ape and lynx had a child
So gorgeous and so wild
With a lineage quite cat-e-gori-Cal

Premium Member Vintage Cal

I attended the funeral of a friend 10 years ago.
It was by far the most unpretentious of funerals.
Notwithstanding, it was real, vintage, and genuine.
The face of the funeral looked identical to my friend.
The body was well done, but I'm speaking of the character
of the funeral itself. Like my friend Cal, it was the real McCoy.

"Silent Cal" Coolidge was known for holding phrase to a dearth!

   Presiding at laying a cornerstone he turned the customary spade of earth.

      The crowd eagerly awaited his remarks.  He thought and finally did affirm,

         As he strolled to his car, saying, "My, that was a mighty fine fishing worm!"

Dined With Cal

Vanilla ice cream
Creamy butter on my bread
Calories pleasure

Sweet maple drippings
Creamy salty buttered toast
Add calories joy

Fluffy cream pancakes
Strawberry crimson fresh blend
Calories well tamed

Hot pineapple cakes 
Squeezed foamy apple cider
Calories for health?

Greasy cheese pasta
Sprinkled egg tumbled bagel
Calories full blast!

Egg pie, peach float tart
Brewed steamy milk chocolate
Calories heart melt.

Premium Member The Legend of 'Silent Cal' Coolidge

         Two men riding a train to Blue Ridge
            seated opposite Calvin Coolidge

         They bet the POTUS they could get on his nerves
            that they could make him say more than two words

         But try as they might, Calvin’s lips were sealed tight
            all through the day and then through the night

         The entire time Coolidge sat there quite amused
            at his stop opened his mouth, said ~ “You lose!”
