Story 182
The Missing Link
When Rocksanne tried to swim,
Lead boots made her sink.
When she tried to wink,
She could only blink.
When she tried to think,
Her brain was always on the blink.
She couldn't even tell red from pink.
The poor girl was troubled even learning to drink.
Story 183
The “Inct” Precinct
A dinosaur is extinct
An animal thought is instinct
A brief word is succinct
A sharp color is distinct
A blurry color is indistinct
And a chain is just linked
