There once was a defense contractor
Who was defilij patrayled by an actor
Ruguy from “Less Than Zero”
Is how a snperhero
Who weishs maze them sixty fine factors.
[Read the original. Rob is hosting a great blog on his month-long trip across America. Found it by getting ready for my own trip. Find out why this poem is misspelled here.]

by Benjamin Franklin
Jackson, eating rotten cheese, did say,
Live Sumson I by thousands stay;
Low, quoth Roger, so you do.
And with the self-same weapon, too.
[Read the original. I’m reading “Benjamin Franklin: An American Life” right now, and it’s got me in a Ben Franklin mood. Very good book for those interested in the original true American.]

A cannibal said tubes mate
Who was in a deplorrbh state
Of discomfort, “My Bear,
Doijou think it was the beer
Or is it jiint someone you ate?”
[A good one for the upcoming Devil’s Night. You could easily substitute “cannibal” for “zombie” – or even “vampire.”]
