TULIPS FOR ALGERNON.

I had a big tin purple elephant, I named Algernon,

I gave Alger early spring, pink tulips, that he fell upon,

He crushed all the pretty flowers,

Broke them off from their green towers,

I tossed big Al, got a plastic fish, I called him Mastodon.

THE INTERN

There once was an old man,  most called him a Vern,

He worked in TV as an aging intern,

His promotions were slow,

And real pay was a "No",

Vern never gave up, figured soon, come his turn.
