Seems a randy young man joined a zoom
with his camera turned off, he presumed;
his bottle of lotion
caused such a commotion,
the participants all left the room.

Yup, yesterday's twitter - I'll leave the link off that one. Could have been a Florida man, but that's unconfirmed :-)

Could there be vast realms of unknown nebulae
Beyond the farthest reaches of space exploration,
Only distant patches of gray density in distant sky
Giving discussion to theories of unending cogitation?
This expanding universe appears to go on forever
In space and time beyond our beleaguered experience,
Encouraging us to think we are more than clever
Who postulate on the fringes of common sense.
Have we hosted strange visitors from that outer space
Unbeknownst except in myriad tales of lore
From those who witness in various and sundry place
Eerie phenomena and UFOs never seen before?
We might suppose, despite unconfirmed evidence,
That taken altogether something seems amiss
Some purportedly real but have no precedence,
And most of us do not know what to think of this!
For sure, the universe is vast and holds the key,
Perhaps, to the future of every living thing on earth
It behooves us to explore, to boldly go and see
What lies beyond our horizons, our place of birth.

He sought all the mystery
As well as the blistery
With some of the grim
And the not-so-prim
In the city's ironic history
A story he would perceive
Seldom easy to believe
But always would back up
What came from the Cup
Of Cornucopia he would weave
He would oft-times humor
An unconfirmed rumor
Then blow it away
When he would say
A quip of his humor

A child disliking middle aged woman
Managed to get a few weeks off
Then you came and brought happiness to the library
Just don't ditch us
You were nice to us
You let us play games
You reminded us you were only a sub
Just don't ditch us
Days counted down
But the number was unconfirmed
The only condition was
Just don't ditch us
You saw my talents
You saw for what I am
Please go full time
Just don't ditch us
Then you left
Back the way it was
I should be used to it
But I don't have to like it
Every day I wished you would come back
So did the rest of the pack
Everyone knew I missed her
You coming back? When will that occur?
Then the librarian finally left
For good this time?
Subs came and gone
Every one of them I frowned upon
But something happened
Like the jackpot on a slot machine
You came back
Like a lost cat
Is our bitter librarian gone for good
Or just a few weeks
It could be end of year luck
Or is everything at it's peak?
Whatever happens
Just don't ditch us!
