10 wonderful things that start with O:
- O’Neil, my last name. Okay, this one I stole from Bug but it’s applicable.
- Oprah. She rocks my world! So does O magazine.
- Sharon Olds, my former professor and mentor. Also rocks my world.
- Obi–Wan Kenobi, aka Sir Alec Guinness (Ewan McGregor is okay, but not as good as the original.)
- One.org
- Orange Juice. Tropicana Pure Premium, some pulp.
- Oak trees.
- Ohio. A big swing state in this year’s election.
Off the Wall by Michael Jackson. Look at that album cover. Michael, what the hell happened? - Okra. Probably the only vegetable I’ve written poems about. Maybe I should branch out to sweet potatoes.
Five bad things that start with O:
- October…everything dies in October. Not even a good holiday to lessen the blow.
- The OC. Is that still on the air?
- Bill O’Reilly
- OG—slang for “original gansta.”
- The word "over"; rather, its constant misuse. Over refers to spatial relationships: Let’s fly over the Grand Canyon. With numerals, I see this a lot: I won’t pay over $200 for an iPod this year. It’s better to use “more than” in such cases: If it costs more than $10 to see a movie, I’m not going. You get the idea.
I don’t believe in tags so if you feel like trying this meme, consider yourself tagged. You take letter P. Then pick five friends and have them work through letters Q-U.

Alex (the Bug) wanted to know, "why is Mama wearing a suit???"
Insert tears streaming down face!
Let me guess, you didn't correct him did you? You just wait. What's that Star Trek quote, "Revenge is a dish best served cold!"
It is on, Mr. Poetmom! It's on like a MoFo!
You don't believe in tagging? Oh, now I feel bad for tagging you earlier. Oh well.
(Are you sure it isn't OVER like a mo'fo?)
T, you have a free pass to tag me anytime!
OUCH :)
