Unseated
A square who had no time to spare,
Tried to sit in a chair of horsehair.
It rolled as he rocked,
And it bucked, and the shock
Knocked his derrière out of the chair!

This looks like it's supposed to be a limerick, but it uses the wrong meter, and rock/shocked is a weak rhyme. Like the first one I read, the lack of background hampers my investment in what happens, but it's amusing enough.

I am way out of the habit of retrospecting, let me break the silence of my shame.

This was my first attempt to get something in before the deadline, which I thought of as a placeholder, but I actually finished it after the other poem was done. Perhaps knowing that the pressure is off may help in some circumstances, but the deadline is still needed...
