Happy Birthday, @SurlyAmy!

O Amy Davis Roth, you claim to be
A surly girl, but we all know the truth.
No one could make the art we daily see
O'er at your Etsy store, yea and forsooth,
And not know that you're happy, as you make
So many others with your stuff for smart
And skeptical hot chicks and dudes, who take
A lot to please, in science and in art.
Today, officially, you're older; this
Means that you're also wiser, if a bit
Hungover. Amy, dear, I blow a kiss
For this, your birthday, and I proudly wear
A Surly ev'ry day, to make folks stare!

In Which I Geek Out On Some Cool Objects

Those who have seen me 'round know how I love

Two pieces of odd jewelry that I've got.

Each morning these days I dither: which of

These two artworks I'll wear and which I'll not

(The two of them together would not work;

They both are necklaces). The Earth and Moon?

The grasshopper? Sure, you may smile and smirk

But get some Surlyramics of your own

And see how good you are at choosing which

To wear each day! If science turns your crank,

If skeptic witticisms flip your switch,

Then you'll do well to click over and thank

Me later for the tip. I was not paid

To write this, mind. I just like what she's made.
