Your Poetry Dot Com - Fluffs and Bluffs

For all you buffs of nonsense stuff and unessential facts,
who cant recall whos who at all, or this years football stats..
heres some fluff to help you bluff, in case you should be asked.

Storms were all anonymous, they had no pedigree.
We didn’t name our hurricanes til 1953.
Women first and then mens names, alphabetically.

Six years of every lifetime well all be sleeping tight.
And only 1 in 8 of us can dream in black and white.
We average four to six dreams, but theyre erased you see.
We snore and dream, but it would seem not simultaneously.

100 billion galaxies make up our universe.
It’s hard to say that life exists exclusively on earth.
Michael Jackson’s moon walking he nicknamed lunar tunes,
but only 12 folks actually have walked across the moon.
Alan Shepard hit a golf ball up there just for fun.
No ones done it since he did in 1971.

We used to think that planet Mars was covered with red dust.
In truth, its iron oxide, a thick blanket of rust.
Rusts a living organism, not decayed debris.
It lives upon its food source, metal, naturally.

When it came to using bar codes Wrigleys won the race.
They were first to use them and now they’re everyplace!
Toothpaste didnt come in tubes, but jars, just ask Colgate!
Toothpaste came in powdered form, we mixed it to a paste.

McDonald’s happy meals make amazing money sense.
Those sales add up to profits that exceed 40 percent!
And while were talking happy meals, they are girls and boys,
the #1 distributer worldwide of children’s toys.

Coffee beans are tasteless no matter when they’re picked.
Their flavor comes from roasting, and thats the truth of it.
Coffee drinkers (surveys show), have sex more frequently
than those we know whod rather have a nice hot cup of tea.

You and I drive faster when other cars are near.
But we don’t use our fuel just to get from here to there.
It takes a ฝ a tank of it to overcome wind shear.

The Eiffel tower’s held together by 2 million rivets.
The locals think its ugly, but the tourists love to visit.
The Panama Canal is an engineering feat, but
2500 workers died before it was complete.

Cellphones in Malaysia save their courthouses a step.
Its legal to divorce your spouse by sending them a text!
What are the best known Western names in Chinas jurisdiction?
Jesus Christ, Elvis Presley, and Richard Milhous Nixon.

Da Vinci never signed the Mona Lisa, probably,
because it wasnt finished when he died apparently.
Composer Mozart never went to school. Kids think that’s neat.
And Marilyn Monroes feet sported six toes on each.
(Not many who saw Marilyn were checking out her feet).

In 1938 Time Magazine (oh dear!),
published Adolph Hitler as its Man of the Year!
Google has owned YouTube since 2006.
It was a good investment for just a billion six.
To honor the environment, they rent 200 goats
to eat the weeds and grasses (their mowers run on oats!).

Facebook adds 8 members - every second, every day.
But surveys found that 10 percent have long since passed away.
If you lose your wallet, police records let us know;
more people will return one if a baby picture shows.
Lack of sleep brings sugar cravings and a cranky temper.
(Most serial killers are Scorpios, born in mid-November)!

Per day a woman uses about 20,000 words.
While men speak 7000 – (no wonder they’re not heard)!
Women speak of details – men do that much less.
Could be why we say that women are the “speaker sex”.

You cant see color in the dark. Takes light to see those hues.
The NBC Peacock advertised their color shows.
And since we gather info from everywhere to use,
North, East, West, and South – we simply call the NEWS.

It only takes 4 seconds of quiet before we find
the silence getting awkward, and while were talking time,
lets end this poem and head on home...Youve been just sublime!
Next time Ill make this shorter, you can rest assured.
But don’t forget, I haven’t yet used 20,000 words!

And I didn/'/t sleep too well last night as you may know,
Try to treat me patiently,
sincerely,
Scorpio
