Short Seminar Poems

A Shadow falls across the Moon
     The evening seminar stops its tune
     College has ended for this same day
     Except for what with the few last student's
         lamplight rays....

The seminar "How not to be a victim of the scammers",
Is cancelled. All tickets are, unfortunately, a non-refundable.
And losers, please don't take it like a mortal drama.
This seminar, without even start, has educate your wonderful!...

to get a high school diploma you must be able to read at a twelfth grade level
this was in 1952
In 1972 we were told “an eleventh grade level is good enough”.
Today reading at a ninth grade level means that you graduate.
I heard that at a seminar this morning....

In seminar, speaker wondered why the participants 
changing seats from first row to backseat; are they mischievous?
Thinking what reason is; none told, why shifting?
Cause while talking saliva he's spitting;
This action called 'sialoquent', at times it's ridiculous.

Remember collecting bugs in jars
    I've seen kids do that up on Mars

  And how 'bout rubber-buggy-bumper-cars
    Dja know they've got 'em on Jupitar

  Gazing at the myriad stars
    Time to present my space memoirs
 
  Join me for cuisine bizarre
     at next light-year's Tele-Seminar...

I was truly inspired by my Pastor's insightful sermon today!

I didn't even try to sneak a snooze or let my mind go astray!

He spoke of Ezekiel, Isaiah, Daniel and all the prophets of old.

Could be said 'twas a "prophet-sharing" seminar he preached to his fold!

He is distinguished they said
And they were not wrong
But what is he doing up in the day?
Aren’t owls nocturnal?
Mr. O is not your ordinary fowl
We attended his lecture
He taught us about owls
Barn owls, gray owls,
He gave us a few hoots
It was the best university seminar ever
I never expected him to wear a tie!
I never expected him to wear a suit coat!
I never expected him to speak English....

he’s eccentric and bizarre
love my neighbour but only from afar
since he keeps all his doors ajar
I saw he keeps his glass eye in a jar
when in the morning he revs up his car
he pretends to be going to a seminar
he’s convinced he is a rising star
walks around in his peignoir
in his mouth a footlong cigar
and in one hand a european guitar
once he offered me some caviar
then walked away without an aurevoir!

SWAGGER

          Bogus speaker in the seminar
          appeared loud exhibiting swagger,
         talked nonsense without any manner
         offending others as if with dagger.
         
        Wrath of audience oblivious.
        Speaker satisfied in own event
        proving self, stupid ridiculous,
        left podium smart and confident.

Everyone who has money
should drop it in a vat and
anyone who needs money

should take what they need 
a Swede, a Dane and two 
Norwegians tell Fred, also an

economist who flew in from Yale.
After a three-day seminar in the
Antarctic, the four men sit down 

with tankards of ale, each comfy 
in a chaise lounge chair on 
an ice floe slowly melting.

Back at Yale, CNN interviews Fred 
about his book on the seminar.
The CIA is now investigating.

The seminar guy is yelling at the teachers.
They are doing their best to ignore him.
He is twelve, and yelling without realizing
How irritating his voice is or how many he has already lost.
I know teachers. They do not enjoy wasting their time.
They are doing many things, showing him the tops of their heads.
It matters not. He is yelling, thinking he is teaching.
I am irritated that his loud obnoxious voice is coming through the walls.
Interrupting my typing, and my thinking....
