The Old Well
Our old well
is all petered
out, only
memories of
drawing water
many summers
ago, still
     remain.

Stella
There once was a blizzard named Stella
Too powerful for an umbrella
 	But she petered out
	Losing all of her clout
Like a post-midnight-clothed Cinderella.

Her wind is still whipping around
But as for the snow on the ground
	It’s in inches, not feet
	Which must be bittersweet
For the ones who hoped she’d be renowned....

Engine On My Plane
Engine On My Plane

Engine on my plane petered out
What I did know without a doubt
After hearing a sputtering sound
Soon hard would hit the ground
So had hot dogs with sauerkraut.

Plane had been shot down over
Germany.

All From a Broken Pen
You could say spring was in the air
When his ballpoint pen flew apart
Arthur took charge of it's repair
So that made it a work of art!

Declaring that, he felt compelled
To write something down with it
Frowning his brow, with said pen held
He channeled his humor and wit

When she looked over his shoulder
Every thought he had petered out
She seemed surprised when he told her
Peter problems is what it's about!...
