Thoreauvian
Contrariwise, contrariwise
Is how you should lead your life:
Told to march to a different drum,
Listen for a fife.

Alternate History
How different things would be
On this sorrowful globe
If Mother Eve had been
An ophidiophobe.

A Metaphor for Irony

A metaphor for irony?

Nothing simpler, nothing neater:

Having diabetes makes

One's ice cream all the sweeter.
