Dr. Seuss In Wisconsin: Rhyming Poetry

A friend posted a Cat in the Hat meme that said:
“Will it rain?
Will it snow?
I live in Wisconsin!
I do not know!”

I responded:

I do not know,
nor do I care.
I will go out
everywhere.

Snow is good,
sun is fun,
and we like
the combination!

I will eat cheese.
You will drink beer.
And we’ll not know
the time of year.

We do not fret,
we do not fuss.
We will hang out,
just the Wisconsinus.

HIS Promise: Some Time There Will Be No Last Time: IMprov Haiku

My cousin has a terminal disease. She recently posted a meme with this thought:
“DEEP: Everyone in your life will have a last day with you.
And you don’t even know when it will be.”

I responded:

The amazing joy/
of Eternal Life: Some time/
there’ll be no last time.

I Prefer The Woman She Strives To Be: Revolutionary Iambic Response

Some guy named Spencer McFarland made this comment, captured in a meme (which many woman are gleefully reposting) :
Advice To Girls (ironic the advice is given by a man!)

My wife responded:
“I’d rather not be loud and gross and take up space. I’d rather be calm and clean and be present or off doing what I want. I’d rather not be snide and sarcastic. I’d rather be loving and kind. I’d rather be helpful, kind and respectful of everyone … including myself. I don’t need to say no to everyone but I also don’t need an excuse to say no if I’d rather use my time a different way.”

My response to my wife?
I enjoy having a wife/
who doesn’t plot or scheme,/
or need a Facebook meme, /
to tell her how to live her life
