If we have Christmas in July
why can't we have Independence Day in December?
What is the use of sleeping on memory foam
if it never helps us to remember?
An angel fish doesn't have a halo,
nor does it play a harp.
Its main boasting point seems to be
that it's much prettier than a carp.
You may like antipasta
but that doesn't mean you're against spaghetti.
A Himalayan snowman isn't really abominable,
so please, just call him a Yeti.
Why are gooseberries not made of geese?
Why is breadfruit not made out of bread?
We know that water never sleeps
so what's the use of having a riverbed?
Why do they call French toast French
when it did not originate in France?
Why don't they call it a fowl ball
when chickens go to a formal dance?
Why is there always a traffic jam
but never traffic jelly?
Why can't we buy Indian food
over at the new deli?
Why can we call someone the apple of our eye
but never a grape or pomegranate?
How would we explain our screwed-up language
to someone from another planet?
Why can there be a fork in the road
but never a spoon or a knife?
Maybe I should stop this train of thought
and work on getting a life. - Jeff Barnes
