Today's poem is by Brian Diamond
Sense
It takes 4¢ to make a penny
A man in Calcutta got rich this way, melting down
currency and selling it for scrapYour share of the national debt is over $77,000, most
of which you owe to yourselfThe square root of a large number is also a large number
I don't believe in math, I believe in miracles says
the politician who is mathematically eliminatedTo be mathematically eliminated is, in fact,
a kind-of miracleCancer kills more people than cars and cars
kill more people than warSo cars are the medium between cancer and war
The president declares war on integers, then chides
a blind man for his sunglassesIf you go blind, you may learn to see with your tongue
Smell precedes sight and dies first
Smell I could do without, says the war-torn village.
A dead ovary is a black raisin to the touch
There are only three bones in the human ear,
the most delicate in all your bodyFour out of five doctors makes a B-
99.9% of all species are extinct
