Short Leg, Long Leg


Which leg causes the trouble
when a table isn't level --
the short leg or the long leg?

When breakfast is thick,
is there too little water,
or too much oatmeal?

When the keyhole is hard to find,
is it because it's too dark outside,
or because there isn't enough light?

Every problem has another side.

Murder Unsolved

01
The key was nipped by
An ostrich in the garden
Whose dandelion
Feathers were found in a trunk
With the groom’s green tuxedo.
