Hello, my friends. My name is Mike. I never hike or ride a bike. You see, the only thing I like is playing lots of Minecraft. I never run, or climb a tree, or sail a ship across the sea. Why, I don't even watch TV. I just play lots of Minecraft. I don't play sports of any sorts, on basketball or tennis courts, in training shoes and running shorts. I'm only good at Minecraft. You'll never see me pet the cat, or shop online to buy a hat, or instant message, text, or chat. I'm busy playing Minecraft. In fact, I'm busy as can be, so if you'd like to talk to me, there's just one way, and that, you see, is multiplayer Minecraft. --Kenn Nesbitt
While shopping at the pet store I got my fondest wish. I bought myself a fish bowl and then a pair of fish. And since I was already out shopping at the store I thought I ought to purchase another smidgen more. And so I got a rabbit, a hamster and a frog, a gerbil and a turtle, a parrot and a dog. I purchased an iguana, a tortoise and a rat, an eight-foot anaconda, a monkey and a cat. A guinea pig, a gecko, a ferret and a mouse, and had them all delivered, directly to my house. My sister went berzerko! She's now installing locks, because I said her bedroom would be their litter box! --Kenn Nesbitt

THE VAMPIRE The night is still and sombre, And in the murky gloom, arisen from his slumber, the vampire leaves his tomb.
And there, beneath her covers, His victim lies in sleep. With fangs agleam, he hovers And with those fangs, bites deep.
His eyes are pools pf fire, his skin is icy white, and blood his desire this woebegotten night.
And there, beneath her covers, His victim lies in sleep, With fangs agleam, he hovers And with those fangs, bites deep.
Then through the silent city he makes his silent way, prepared to take no pity upon his hapless prey.
The vampire drinks till stated, He fills his every pore, And the, this thirst abated, Licks clean the dripping gore.
An open window beckons, He grins a hungry grin, And pausing not one second He swiftly climbs within.
With powers now replenished, his thirst no longer bums. His quest this night is finished, So to his tomb he turns, And there awhile in silence He’ll rest beneath the mud Until, with thoughts of violence, He wakes and utters‌ blood.

A LOVERS COMPLAINT WILLIAM SHAKESPEAR
FROM off a hill whose concave womb reworded A plaintful story from a sistering vale, My spirits to attend this double voice accorded, And down I laid to list the sad-tuned tale; Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, Tearing of papers, breaking rings a-twain, Storming her world with sorrow's wind and rain. Upon her head a platted hive of straw, Which fortified her visage from the sun, Whereon the thought might think sometime it saw The carcass of beauty spent and done: Time had not scythed all that youth begun, Nor youth all quit; but, spite of heaven's fell rage, Some beauty peep'd through lattice of sear'd age. Oft did she heave her napkin to her eyne, Which on it had conceited characters, Laundering the silken figures in the brine That season'd woe had pelleted in tears, And often reading what contents it bears; As often shrieking undistinguish'd woe, In clamours of all size, both high and low.
