He'll criticize
My shiny nose,
Cast frowning eyes
On seams of hose.
But let me say,
"You need a tie,"
And right away,
A shrew am I!

Sitting in a park one day, a man noticed a
boy throwing a ball in the air and swinging
at it with a bat Time after time, he whirled
around in a circle, missing the ball.
"Not a very good hitter, are you, son?"
the man observed.
"Nope," the kid replied without hesitation,
"but you gotta admit I'm a great pitcher."
