FARMER LIMERICK
There once was a farmer named Bill
Who sat on the top of a hill
For days and for days, and his neighbor Al says,
‘If he’s not gone, he’s sitting there still.’

Meyers snapped his briefcase shut and nodded once firmly, well satisfied with the completion of yet another day’s work. He donned his fedora, nodded good evening to the receptionist, nodded good evening to Eddie, the elevator boy, and nodded farewell to Harwell, the guard stationed in the lobby. He passed through the revolving door and turned right in his usual manner, in pursuit of a single martini at Bellico’s before heading home. Partwell, the cop, tapped his cap with his nightstick as Meyers passed by. Meyers nodded. He paused beneath the blue pulsing neon sign of Bellico’s, pushed the dark door open, and entered. Shocked, he stood stock still. There, at the green glow bar, his usual seat was occupied. Meyers, grief stricken, slumped to the floor weeping.
‘Not to worry, buddy,’ said Charlie, the bartender. ‘If you’ll just slide down one place, everything will be aces.’
The patron, though taken somewhat aback, complied.
Meyers crawled to his usual seat, stifling whimpers. He sat, head down. Charlie placed the martini on the bar in front of Meyers. Emitting a great heartfelt sigh, Meyers continued tracing the pattern of his usual day.
Loon: For the 3 question interview the Lords of the 4th Dimension have selected a presidential ghost today. And so I am pleased to welcome Mr. John Quincy Adams, who I am assured was once a President of the United States. My Sovereign Liege President, your middle name is also a city in Massachusetts, is it not?
Ghost of John Quincy Adams: It is.
Loon: I thought as much. Would I be presuming too personal a note were I to address you henceforth as JQ?
Ghost of John Quincy Adams: You may please yourself, sir.
Loon: Thank you. So, finally, JQ, I am told that horses were involved in all manner of conveyance in ancient times such as those wherein you resided. Is this true?
Ghost of John Quincy Adams: Yes.
Loon (beaming): Thank you for your time, JQ.
The ghost of John Quincy Adams levitates from the room.
Although Louis said he was honored, he vowed internally to get revenge.
Spines
Spines are very useful. They are also very important. If we didn’t have spines, our bodies would droop. Spines can also be something else, like sharp prickles. You could get stabbed if you’re not careful. Spines are very important in our human society. They help us look around by having our heads up high. Without spines, there would be trouble. And so, in conclusion, spines are important and help us.
