TRESPASS

From Hempstead comes this tale.
Persuasion being of no avail,
Officers facing an impasse
Charged a man with trespass
For refusing to leave the jail.

Now he's an inmate in the jail,
Held there for lack of bail.
He had gone to the bother
Of paying a visit to his brother,
Another inmate in the jail.

CORONATION

Thursday is the coronation
In the Bhutan nation.
If you could, would you
Like to be in Thimphu
To join the celebration?

DON'T GLOAT OVER THE VOTE

No one now should gloat
Because of the vote.
It's time now for healing.
Long we've been dealing
With a campaign cutthroat.

DEATH ON TUESDAY

"Two die in wreck on Tuesday,"
Not all that slow a news day.
Driving at excessive speed
For which there was no need
Made it their big lose day.

THE AUTOBAHN

They call it the autobahn
'Cause speeding is there outdone.
The patrol is now two men larger
With HEMIs in their Chargers.
Most rigs they can outrun.

Speedsters on this road are many.
Were this road in Germany,
You could drive it for all that's in ya.
But that's not OK in Virginia --
No, not for driver any.

YOUR MRS.

Are you getting all the kisses
That you're needing from your Mrs.?
That you can't compel.
You have to treat her well
If you want to know what bliss is.

PROPOSAL

You've not answered my proposal.
Negative is my supposal.
Of course I hope I'm wrong,
But this hunch of mine is strong:
It went through your unit disposal.
