QTMama and I decided to write poems about each other.  So, without further ado, I offer you:

The QT

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over my dog – Little Filthy’s – loud, obnoxious snore,
While I nodded, nearly sleeping, suddenly there came a beeping
that thrust me up, nearly leaping, sending my phone down upon the floor.
“It is just QT,” I muttered softly, “texting me some more -
Oh, That woman…she’s quite a chore.”

Grabbing for my Blackberry, I read about a night so scary
Of QT’s dates – the men are always such a bore.
Tiredly, I read her typing and then wished that we were skyping
Her typos causing me some griping, if only she would score!
“You must be drunk,” I messaged back, “did you drink the liquor store?”
“Just three martinis…maybe more.”

Dr. Nancy Snyderman was interviewed by Ann Curry on the Today Show this morning.  Topic: Swine Flu.  While discussing ways to prevent the spread of the virus, Ann Curry asked the doctor to explain what things children should not share with each other.  Dr. Snyderman said, “Primarily, things like cups, toothbrushes…”

And then Ann Curry helpfully adds, “…Cookies.”

For real, Ann?  That’s your contribution?  Cookies?  For some reason, I laughed out loud at this.

Instigator does not like Dr. Snyderman.  And, as we know, she’s not a big fan of Ann, either.
