Two Poems

Warm and Fuzzy Mass Murder

The whole world died of cuteness.
What killed oh great great humanity?
I know from vast astuteness
That someone saw a manatee.


Differential Equations Homework

I stood late doing diff.   E.Q.
With problems about
The small amount
Of animals at the zoo.

I tried to work, but, oh, the sound!
Of pencil leads,
Eraser shreds,
And bright days in mis'ry drowned.

The pain, the pain, it was too much!
Until the time
When truth sublime
Arose from empty thought's great clutch:

I wrote the last answer and felt just fine!
But then I thought,
And what pain it brought,
That the assignment was from one to nine.
