January Night

January night
devoid of snow
it's just rain
doesn't feel right
in what should be the frozen north.

The Flamingo Named Domingo

There once was a flamingo
who was named Domingo
who enjoyed playing the game of bingo
and while doing so one night
to his horror and his fright
lost his love's engagement ring-o
that's why his Facebook status is now "single".
