| A Hearty Lament
My e-reader broke and it's no joke! I never thought, I would be so distraught. You've been my friend, through thick and thin.
Now I say goodbye, with nary a dry eye. As I lay you to my breast, before your final rest, I will always remember, hours spent so tender.
I walked King Solomon's Mines, in your prime, and battled the windmills, and many other thrills, with that oh, so dopey, Don Quixote.
I'm not a poet, but at my lowest, I seem to have found, the words abound, As I lament your grave descent.

| LOL, my poetry doesn't even touch the other poets on this site, and I don't have the guts to inspire myself that way anyway. I'll continue to live vicariously through you guys. |

| You're always the sacrificer. That's okay, I'm not sure I could produce a tear over your broken camera. |

| Oh, Lora, how my heart aches Over the tragic and sad breaks That have befallen you today As your e-reader went astray.
I trust it was not in too much pain As the hard floor was its gain But that its innerworkings Hardly felt gravity's jerking.
I guess this is not the time To suggest you purchase My new ebook from online... |

| Oh, Miss Thena, I can always count on you for a pick-me-upper. Just went to Walmart and got a new Kindle. We'll see if I like it after it charges. P.S. Thank you for catching the misspelling oneagleswings. I corrected it. |

| Lora had a kindle But she dropped it on the floor Alas for poor Lora The Kindle was no more!
Lora bought a new one And this time she was wise She also got a warranty To cover any bad surprise.
Now she's reading happily With a smile upon her face No more worries about her Kindle Can a minor fall erase. |

| one day a contractor hired three men to do an excavation job. to one an italian man, he handed a shovel, to another a greek man he handed a wheel barrow, and yet another an asian man, he told: "you, you are in charge of supplies. the contractor left and when he returned at the end of the day was well pleased. all the ditches were dug exactly as he had ordered, the work was neatly done and nothing out of place. he was so overwhelmed he decided to take them out to eat but the asian man was missing so he asked about him. the other workers replied: "we haven't seen him since you left" so they decided to leave without him, as they were passing under a tree the asian man landed on the hood of the car and yelled out: "SUPPLIES!!!" |
