Story 149

Not Slick

Dick is a crazy mick

And Rick is a country hick

Dick calls a rooster a chick

And Rick has a river a crick

Dick has a pet tick

And Rick has a pet brick

Neither of them is mentally quick

But neither of them cares a lick.

Story 150

Drugs addict

Diseases afflict

Juries convict

Pictures depict

Weapons inflict

Fortune tellers predict

Pythons constrict

Landlords evict

Bombs interdict

Enemies conflict

Lies contradict

And parents restrict
