Sometimes I wonder about
being a poet,
before I joined AD
I did not know it.
What don't kill,
suppose to make a stronger will.
After five years of writing verse,
I'm thinking I have a poetic curse.
But there are things much worse.

All addictions affect about the same,
there's no need to call any by name.
But I've got to mention one,
one is better than none.
Life is an addiction,
with or without its restriction.

Don't do this
and don't do that,
bring in the hog,
slaughter him when he's fat.
Eating too much pork isn't good,
neither is a termite eating house wood.
Tell the termite,
he will still feel he's right.
I wonder if Ad puts a limit on
how much we can write,
seems I'm about like the termite.
