Grex Enigma Item 319: So What's the Use?
Entered by remmers on Tue Dec 16 02:08:24 UTC 1997:

        I'd like to write a poem,
        I'd like to craft a rhyme,
        But my muse is on vacation,
        Dum de dum de dum.

I found this poem very useful.  It can be wadded up and thrown at recalcitrant
siblings, wedged under a chair leg to stop it from wobbling, or folded into
a paper airplane.
You can even print out a copy on paper and do all those things again...

How would you do said things without printing a copy out on paper?

None of which, (unfortunately) include aardvards. A pity, really.

What about adverbs?

Only in Febuary, when it's not raining.

Even the 29th?

ONly if it's not raining.

what if it's snowing hailing sleeting or precipating otherwise?

Then head out and work on your tan!

Precipating?  Would that be the behaviour engaged in by a precipice?

No, no, *over* a precipice.  Like the whizzing contest last week over 
the side of the bridge into the street.

My poems do not rime, nor do they scan.
So holding up tables is how they end.
