Though a bit jealous when my son was born
We had to switch to best boy ever

Until they found out

There's no love lost between Jack Frost
and his more famous cousin

It started when Jack, who is a bit of a hack
got a lump of coal for Christmas

His cousin swore it was a postal mixup
And offered a marvelous trainset instead

But Jack was irreconcilable and gave him the cold shoulder.

The next winter, Jack started scribbling frosted messages on kids windows. He tells them there's no Santa and to shake down their grandparents for the stuff they really need.

Here the Santa lobby kicked into action, making winters warner, so Jack couldn't spread his messages.

Jack responded by using freezing spells to disrupt toy supply chains.

The situation has been getting worse ever since, we obviously don't need to discuss 2020, or, god help us, 2016.

the tuning fork They left them

The radical new design
quickly conquered people's hearts
Sales were climbing through the roof
It is said little boys and girls
were asking their mom's and dads:
Please, please, can we get one of those?
You know of course that the story ends sadly
because when the car's creator was asked:
What inspired you?

He answered: the snail

I harvested the grapes of wrath
and made some wine
It tastes like prairie dust and sweat and tears

should be a best seller

How do you say
Things that have not been said
Show words at play
In a coherent thread
Strike through their shields
Don’t hit them on their head
More fertile fields
Would do you in good stead

if we could genetically engineer a better you
what would you want done.
I said I want my writing to be CRISPR
