A Hot Summer's Day

"Rhyme Time"

A young lad decided to try his hand at poetry.

He figured if he could tap his unconscious
mind he would succeed.

To execute his plan, he left a pad and pen by
his bed so he could write down any thoughts
that came to him in the night.

Sure enough, later that first night, he awoke
from a stirring event, and sought to capture
those thoughts as they occurred.

However, as you might guess, it did not work
as he went from bed to verse.

"A Hot Summer's Day"

A fellow walked into a Baskin & Robbins Ice
Cream Parlor on a very hot summery day.

He ordered a double scooped chocolate cone,
received it, and then walked away.

Outside on the sidewalk he paused for a bit, then
he pulled out a pair of red birds, sat down on a
nearby bench with his birds, and placed them
on top of his fudgie.

A passerby who glanced over his way and noticed
the curious sight, was prompted to ask "What's
happening, Bud, with your treat with two birdies
alight?"

The fellow replied in a curious way, in an absolute
serious tone, "I'm just trying, dear sir, as best I
know how, to chill two birds with one cone."
