Alexa, play Dancing Queen

ABBA in OUTSIDELEFT

It’s great to see you back, old friends

Returned from your endeavours

To cheer a weary world just when

We need you more than ever

Drop Zone

Clean Bird Droppings Off Your Windshield the Easy Way

The pigeon likes to leave its mark

No matter where we choose to park

And so, I’m pleading with the pigeon

Could you maybe move a smidgen?

Sphere Anxiety

Those folks who claim the Earth is flat

Can’t tell us where the edge is at

Perhaps a flat brain can’t absorb

As much as one shaped like an orb

SWAT Team

The buzz of a mosquito can

Torment the mind of any man

And those who mock this state of dread

Have never heard one whilst in bed

Smooth Operators

When Alexander Graham Bell

Phoned Mr Watson he knew well

The pair of friends would make a killing

By next inventing monthly billing

Pen Knife

The pen is mightier than the sword…

A proposition best ignored

For, seldom it’s a Bic we need

To fend off pirates who can’t read

Total Recoil

15 Best Goldfish Tank Mates (With Pictures) - AquariumNexus

It’s claimed that goldfish draw a blank

Each time they meet inside a tank

Indecorous, though most don’t sweat it

Then agree to just forget it

Tongue Twister

The rule for fractions when you’re young?

It’s two-thirds’ brains

And one-third tongue

Tumbler Grumbler

The pessimist with half a glass

Sees no point being gleeful

While optimists will always ask

If theirs comes with a refill

Beeline

The honey bee performs a dance

Which indicates the vector

Its friends should fly to find those plants

Providing the best nectar.

With six legs that’s no easy feat

And so, to overcome it

To keep the message short and sweet

The less adroit just hum it.
