There once was a girl in grade three,
Who wanted to purchase a Wii.
She went to the store,
But there were no more.
She sighed, "Alas, Xbox for me."
— Laurel Wahlsman

With the blackberry's masculine chic,
And a Bluetooth adorning each cheek,
With the best MP3
And the updated Wii,
Every guy's an electronic sheik.
— Carol B. Quist

A candidate's name of Obama
Should not be confused with Osama.
And he'd like you to note
That for him you should vote
And not give it to young Chelsea's mama.
— Wm. James Mortimer

Bryan Worked in the mall ten to three,
When his Grandma came in for herb tea.
As she charged the amount
To her credit account,
He said, "Now, may I see your ID?"
— Gay Mitchell

Bob Barker put up such a fight
He labored with all his might.
He got folks tutored
About getting pets neutered

And made sure "The Price Was Right!"
— Earl Elmont

I've noticed people start'n to stare.
They must think I'm talk'n to thin air.
Don't look at me funny,
Wasn't talk'n to you, sonny.
Can't ya see the Bluetooth under me hair?
— Julie Taylor

"Sometimes I'm a wigwam," said Spence,
"Or a teepee. It doesn't make sense."
The psychiatrist smiled,
"It's not problem, my child,
I see that you're simply two tense."
— Sally Yocom

Fuel prices are truly outrageous
They are rising much faster than wages
Those who wistfully holler
We once paid but a dollar
Are sadly revealing your ages.
— Julie Humes

My son has this cool thing called "Wii."
You can bowl with four people or three,
Got a virtual strike
This game I could like
Be nice if he'd buy one for me.
— Glen Sherwood

A stressed-out man seeking some insights
Lives with his share of problems and plights;
But he's awesomely blessed
With answers, he confessed,
By surfing the Internet Web sites.
— Carolyn Joyner Freebairn

In the old days, we had one TV,
One bathroom, one car (honestly!)
Furthermore, we partook
Of ONE telephone book,
Which served our needs admirably.
