The Guppy by Ogden Nash
Whales have calves, Cats have kittens, Bears have cubs, Bats have bittens, Swans have cygnets, Seals have puppies, But guppies just have little guppies.

Muffins
Jack: There is certainly no chance of your marrying Miss Cardew.
Algernon: I don’t think there is much likelihood, Jack, of you and Miss Fairfax being united.
Jack: Well, that is no business of yours.
Algernon: If it was my business, I wouldn’t talk about it. [Begins to eat muffins.] It is very vulgar to talk about one’s business. Only people like stock-brokers do that, and then merely at dinner parties.
Jack: How can you sit there, calmly eating muffins when we are in this horrible trouble, I can’t make out. You seem to me to be perfectly heartless.
Algernon: Well, I can’t eat muffins in an agitated manner. The butter would probably get on my cuffs. One should always eat muffins quite calmly. It is the only way to eat them.
Jack: I say it’s perfectly heartless your eating muffins at all, under the circumstances.
Algernon: When I am in trouble, eating is the only thing that consoles me. Indeed, when I am in really great trouble, as any one who knows me intimately will tell you, I refuse everything except food and drink. At the present moment I am eating muffins because I am unhappy. Besides, I am particularly fond of muffins. [Rising.]
Jack: [Rising.] Well, that is no reason why you should eat them all in that greedy way. [Takes muffins from Algernon.]
Algernon: [Offering tea-cake.] I wish you would have tea-cake instead. I don’t like tea-cake.
Jack: Good heavens! I suppose a man may eat his own muffins in his own garden.
Algernon: But you have just said it was perfectly heartless to eat muffins.
Jack: I said it was perfectly heartless of you, under the circumstances. That is a very different thing.
Algernon: That may be. But the muffins are the same. [He seizes the muffin-dish from Jack.]
Jack: Algy, I wish to goodness you would go.

My Umbrella
For almost two weeks straight it rained.
My old umbrella just wasn’t cutting it anymore so I bought a new one.
It was beautiful; tan and blue, with an open and close button, and it was made from 70% recycled materials and bamboo.
It also had the ability to somehow always fold up perfectly after it had been open.
But then it didn’t rain.
It was warm and sunny like spring, in the...
