Mules

Over near the commons at the City university
they arrested a man hawking what he claimed
was an “Aphrodisiac for the mind.”  It was not
that the nostrum was known not to work,
but rather that the school officials feared the contrary.

The latest polls show...

The noble, well lighted Crete who Fifty-four B.C. said,
“Wine, philosophers of us all does make,” was apparently
the last person to whom this axiom applied.

While waiting on a bus, one guy took a ship. 
The captain noted that while the tickets
are not comparable, the journey is.

Mules have their own philosophy,
but as you might expect,
they keep it pretty much to themselves.
