They say the sea level is rising,

“Existential threat" they're advising!

But to me, honestly

A beachfront property

In Minnesota seems quite emprising!


As the one Orthodox at my place,

Beef for dinner is often the case.

I surely was tempted,

in the end I pre-empted

the urge with beans shoved in my face!


There once was an Orthodox priest who,

parishioners gave a talking to...

He laughed and he cried,

and then he replied,

"We'll talk again at the Paschal feast, too?"


"There are no good women" some say,

"to become my Trad Wife™ some day!"

so keep on tweeting

in hopes of meeting

perfection without standards, okay?


There's a bottle of pills here, you see?

You can observe they're red! Carefully—

take only just one

for taking a ton

will make all things a conspiracy!
