A poem I wrote for fun!
Stan McCann's Dinner
Stan McCann
A thinking young man
Thought, "Hot sardines are better!"
So, off he ran
And bought a can
Of sardines for his dinner
Stan, heated the can
In a frying pan
Full of water and let it simmer
Then, taking the can
From the frying pan
He opened it up for dinner
On a chair sat Stan
With fork and can
Sprinkling his salt and pepper
But, as he began
To eat from the can
He said, "Cold sardines are better!"
Moral: What may seem best, is not always best, and sometimes it's hard to know what's better.
