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.

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