There are shrill nighthawks
That hunt in deepest darkness
Screaming in the gloom

Like someone I want to date,
And has a black hole

Around versatile graphene.

From the Pacific, nearby,

man loses way

Following nearly a decade of reliance on global-positioning-satellite-enhanced navigation via his handheld mobile communications device, local bachelor Gregor Harold Bantanigian ran into trouble when his phone suffered a total systems-crash three miles from his house. Having no coins on him and knowing none of his contacts’ phone numbers by heart, for the first fifteen minutes of his ordeal Mr Bantanigian sat in his car staring out of the windshield, unmoving. Glancing upward at the stars in a vain attempt to find North, he realized he had forgotten which constellations stood where in the Fall sky, preferring instead recently to scan the heavens using an application on his phone.

Pulling the device back out of his pants pocket, Gregor banged it against his left palm a few times, then mashed clumsily at the power button until his thumb started to cramp. As this article was going to press, Mr Bantanigian was seen waiting around in front of a nearby grocery store trying to ask strangers for directions back to his home. Upon seeing his fashionably ripped t-shirt and loose fitting cotton sweatpants as well as the desperate look in his eye, however, they assumed he was a drug-crazed street person and kept their distance.

For the powerful

Among us, and for the rich,

Crime certainly pays

man crushes friend by properly conjugating ‘sink’

Following years of diligent toil and ceaseless effort, budding local wordsmith Andreiu Theobald Anbargian landed a killer blow by correctly using the conditional perfect of the word sink. Speaking with the primary intention of irking group-newcomer Bryce Dillon Flanders (who claims to have ‘attended’ Harvard but seems to have only a rudimentary knowledge of how the English language works), Anbargian reveled in his minor victory. “Had I not found this job, it would have sunk me,” he said offhand during conversation with a group of acquaintances after listening to Flanders actually count off the tenses of ‘sink’ on his left hand while screwing his eyes up at the ceiling.

Shortly after his conditionally perfect utterance, Anbargian went home to feed his cats.

There are big airplanes
But olde Ruslan beats the rest
In size - and beauty?!
