More shopping

Lockdown 2 at the supermarket,
Lazy stubble patching the chin.
Stalking the aisles and shelves,
Not even stale buns this evening.

Slinky

Virgil the spring slinked over to his friend’s house.
He slonked himself down on the sofa, and they watched Ocean’s 11.
Afterwards, Virgil slunk back home, to make paella.
On his return, he discovered that his house had been burgled!
His heart slank.

Kevin

The eponymous Kevin met another chap named Kevin.
The other Kevin was furious.
He’d gone to a great deal of effort to get a poem named after him,
And despite being in a poem called “Kevin”,
In which he was clearly the main protagonist,
He still didn’t get his name in the title.
The other Kevin fumed,
He wasn’t happy at all.
The Eponymous Kevin watched on, chewing toffees.

Threat neutralised

The rusted warhead posed a risk to shipping.
Admiral Barnhoff, tasked with resolving the issue,
Wrinkled his nose, twirled his moustache, and considered the situation deeply.
Scouring his experience from 50 years in the service, he formed a robust strategy.
The resulting blast created a crater 175 feet across, closed the canal for 3 months, and eviscerated a heron.
A smile tweaked Barnhoff’s jowl.
The threat could be considered neutralised.
There would be a medal in this for sure.

Clarity

The first rule of web conferencing is to enunciate.
Even if your voice is coming over in 8-bit.
People heard every 7th word clearly.
Makes you wonder what the other 6 are for…
