Ode to the Paper Clip
​

-Doug
​

​

Ode to the paper clip.
​

That versatile contorted wire
​

Which embraces the papers of our future.
​

In senior year this wire,
​

Which until now only served as
​

Ornament hangers,
​

Now serve a purpose!
​

Senior year is filled with scholarships,
​

Portfolios, and transcripts galore;
​

All of them dread the bite of the staple,
​

But love the embrace of a paper clip.
​

Ode to the paper clip!
​

That gentle unsung hero of senior year!

Ode to the Carnivorous Plant Grower

​

By: Doug ​

His mind full of happy CPs​

His thoughts consumed by CPs​

​

Drosera​

​

Sarracenia​

Darlingtonia​

​

Nepenthes​

​

Are a few of his favorite things.​

​

He is consumed with carnivorous plants​

​

Their oddities and beauty take his breath away.​

​

The carnivorous plants take over​

​

All he does is for carnivorous plants​

​

Capturing their food instead of buying his​

​

Giving them the best room of the house​

​

Running humidifiers day and night​

​

All he thinks about are his plants​

​

How he could improve their growing habits​

​

What role did they play in the whole scheme of things?​

​

Did colonists use carnivorous plants?​

​

He wonders.​

​

They take over his speech.​

​

“Do you grow carnivorous plants?”​

​

He asks repeatedly​

​

“No? Pity they are very fun.”​

​

He replies to their “No”s​

​

He then beguiles them with his knowledge of CPs​

​

Well he thinks that they benefit from this knowledge.​

​

Unfortunately, his hobby separates him​

​

People laugh, ​

​

Scurry away,​

​

Avoid him, ​

​

And ignore him​

​

Because of his obsession.​

​

Yet he is blissfully ignorant​

​

Going about his hobby​

​

Going about watering​

​

Going about feeding​

​

Going about talking​

​

Going about doing ​

​

All things carnivorous plants​

​

Ode to the Carnivorous Plant grower ​

​

who is blissfully ignorant of the outside word, and loves his plants. ​
