World Domination

A Martian who landed in Crete,

Had plans for the humans he'd meet.

But once he encountered a toaster,

He just couldn't help but look closer,

And forgot which world leader to unseat.

This Saturday’s hopfully difficult to rhyme word is kangaroo.

Do not chase the quick kangaroo of attention, bounding past in spectacle and dust, dazzling for a moment before disappearing beyond the horizon. Seek instead the kangaroo of admiration that approaches slowly, like a great old roo emerging from the tall grass at dusk. Applause is easy and quickly forgotten, but true regard, like earning the trust of a wild kangaroo, comes only through patience, steadiness, and quiet respect. And when it comes, it does not vanish—it remains beside you: watchful, enduring, and strong.

Anara

Anara was from Kazakhstan,

Where she married a pomegranate man.

But the night of her wedding

Was one she'd been dreading,

For she had to pull each seed out by hand!

Sawsan

Sawsan was a beautiful flower,

Who grew prettier still by the hour.

Her husband was jealous

Of some of her fellas,

But Sawsan was a faithful dower.
