O my Luve is like a red, red rose
  That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve is like the melody
  That’s sweetly played in tune.

So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
  So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
  Till a’ the seas gang dry.
“A Red, Red Rose” Robert Burns

The hands of the clock were reaching high
In an old midtown hotel;
I name no name, but its sordid fame
Is table talk in hell.
I name no name, but hell's own flame
Illumes the lobby garish,
A gilded snare just off Times Square
For the maidens of the parish.
“A Tale of the Thirteenth Floor” Ogden Nash

After being abducted by aliens and left incoherent
in the woods across the street, the government

would quietly whisk me away into a secret hospital
where machine parts would be grafted, little by little,

onto my nonfunctioning body parts. Now bionic,
I would hear the quietest of sounds. Gone ultrasonic,

I would jot down hushed conversations
and stave off the threat of war from other nations.
“The Six Million Dollar Deaf Boy” Raymond Luczak
