National Eggnog Day
—December 24

It's eggy and viscous and yellow,
And some say it quivers like Jell-O.
Although not to my taste
Here it won't go to waste—
My wife thinks the flavor's quite mellow.

A Brief Comment on Prosody
I have nothing to say and I am saying it and that is poetry.
—John Cage

O the anapest, limerick's meter,
Is quite tricky. It totters and teeters,
Veers at times amphibrachic
(A most dangerous tactic),
But done well? Hell, it couldn't be sweeter.
