The cat saw a stat once more as I was going around to each shore and figured what the hell, I'll ring the stat dVerse bell. Not sure where this crap comes from or who pulls them out of their bum. Either way I will use just to abuse. So to those lacking common sense don't get tense. I don't care if you're dense but I will still give my ten cents.
Just for fun
The stats will run
Even though they are a load of bull,
Let's give them a pull.
Touch a burner and it burns,
40% didn't know it gave such returns.
85% of traffic accidents are caused by speed.
Being stationary causes 15% too so take heed.
Apparently there are fools,
Using power tools.
As 14% have chopped off a limb,
Because they were dim.
22% have stuck their finger in a socket,
Think they flew like a rocket?
19% have fallen from a tree,
And banged their pretty little knee.
Or maybe it was their head they hit,
Turning them into a nitwit.
As 42% have fallen from a roof,
I guess the tree wasn't their last goof.
A high percent have been bit by mutts,
Got fat off of Dunkin' donuts,
And other fast food,
Looking like Al's humongous dude.
Okay! That is more like one percent,
For that bed is surely bent.
78% get drunk and talk,
They then try to walk.
Neither task ends up well,
Usually landing them in a jail cell.
The other 22% play chicken with a car,
And don't get very far.
26% have an alien abduction story,
Some are rather gory.
As 11% say they were found in all their glory,
I delve no further, sorry!
Music and crime,
Seem to be sublime.
As 22% have done the deed,
To some music at their feed.
0% when dreaming deep,
Answer yes if asked are they asleep.
56% answer no,
The other 44% suck on their pillow.
And finally 90% of people under Earth's tent,
Aren't in the top ten percent.
That's probably the only one that is true,
Of all the stats I gave to you.
Weren't those stats Face it Facts grand? I hope you aren't part of any of those stats at your land. But if you are part of one or two I won't make too much fun of you. Maybe just a little bit but I'm sure you can take the hit. For the cat knows even poor dumb Pat has done stupid things at our mat. As always feel free to give some sass and that is all today from my little rhyming ass.
Enjoy your winter, smash a printer.
Hahaha, this has seriously brightened up my morning Pat, hilarious stats buddy. Love how witty this stuff is.
ReplyDeleteGlad it was witty and brightened your day
DeleteAs the stats came into play here at my bay
I always laugh at the stats.
ReplyDeleteI love the spamboogers the most that think you don't have a clue what they are up to.
i once was walking home, when the bright light shone and i knew i wasnt alone, little green men were there when it began...ok i am kidding but
Deletewhy you giving fake stats, the cats no rat...smiles
Huh?
DeleteYeah they are such crap
DeletePulled out of thin air by some chap
Who questions a dozen of so
At some circus show
LOL you know maybe that was a regressed memory there
And you were abducted at your lair
They just made you think you were not
The cat is no rat but it is fun to give so called stats a lot..haha
Brian just likes to post in the reply
So just give a sigh
yeah, little green men
Deletefound my twin
but was not left in the buff
he was given a little fluff
of a dress to wear
to cover where he was bare.
he replies in my comments, too
Deleteso it's not just you.
I keep telling him to get to the doctor
glasses would help while he's being a lurker.
haha well the dress he may hate
DeleteAt least bare wasn't his fate
And yezh glasses he may need
As he comments on each feed
26% have an alien abduction story?! That's a large percentage of the population!!!! I told you to be careful...hahaha
ReplyDeleteYou're telling me that almost half the population has fallen off of a roof? That's impossible! I highly doubt that half the population has even been on a roof before! I know of one. The Viking fell off of a roof when fixing the shed. But that's a shed roof. Does it even count?!
LOL yes those aliens are quite the pain
DeleteAs many seem to have been abducted and boarded the ufo train
That's half the people that have climbed on a roof have fallen off the roof somewhere along the way
Doesn't matter if it was two feet or twenty feet when they did it at their bay
Of course just to be fair
The cat may have embelished a bit here and there
But all stats came from somewhere
And they only ask a certain amount of people that are aware
So that stats only work for them and then they display them as everyone
When really there is no way in hell they gave that a run
So they are biased as can be
But still quite fun at my sea
All statistics are biased. They are assuming that their "population" is correct and that the people even answered the survery correctly.
DeleteI refuse to believe half of the world has fallen off a roof. I refuse!!!!!
I already told you about the girl I went to school with. Her mother was on TV claiming that aliens were her friends and that they stop by to have lunch. hahaha According to her, they don't abduct people, they break bread!
Yeah and they want the outcome they are looking for
DeleteSo they will ask people who they believe did such and such a thing at their shore
Plus as you say people lie
So stats do nothing but make me sigh
LOL yeah that is a load
Maybe they ask a toad
I remembered that Supernatural episode with the fairies when you said that too
Maybe it wasn't aliens that came due
But those creepy crawly things
With their fluttering wings
And since when does breaking bread
Require them to exam your head
And shove things every which way
Glad I don't eat bread at my bay..haha
LOL How about the episode with the lephracuans? My dad's a shoe repair man. Maybe I'll camp out in his shop too during St. Pattys day!! One day, the Winchesters will save me! hahaha (Have you been keeping up? I have sad news about the show, but didn't want to spoil it if you're waiting for the DVD. :()
DeleteI loved that episode especially when they thought it was aliens and just kept making fun of it
DeleteThen the little naked flying chick was a hit
Until she went boom
In the microwave of doom
I wouldn't want to mess with that Lephracaun though
As the Winchesters might be to slow
As they whine with one another for a while
In their typical style
Sad news you say?
I'm still waiting for the dvd at my bay
Cancelled is it?
Or someone for real took a death hit
Someone died!!!!!!!! Can I tell? Can I?!
DeleteIt was so sad. I cried. Like, legit full on falling. :'(
haha I knew that was it
DeleteI bet it was Bobby who went to hell's pit
He's the only main guy they have left to kill
So he probably fits the bill
I'm not telling!!!
DeleteBlabber keeping her mouth shut
DeleteWow you better watch it you might fall into a rut..haha
Alien abduction.seriously people believe in that? Finger in socket? I would like to die with dignity and not with any of the above
ReplyDeleteLOL well we can't choose how we go
DeleteAt least usually at our show
I hope for none of that too
Especially kicking the bucket on the loo
Great stats but some are off the scale and I'm a pillow sucker....
ReplyDeleteYeah some are out to lunch
DeleteA whole friggin bunch
A pillow sucker
I hope the pillow gets a good pucker
a pillow sucker?
DeleteOh, I did not need to know that about The Lurker!
LOL what a bad visual in your head
DeleteCausing you dread..haha
yes, it's very bad and causes me dread
Deletenow I can't get that image out of my head!
lol...
Now Anne is here
Deleteyou all steer clear
or my eyes will flash
and you'll find
a stick up yer ass.
Don't mess with the big Irishman or I'll hurt ya.
LOL join the club
DeleteAs creepy cupid is stuck in my brain hub..haha
haha I think he messed with himself
DeleteHere at my shelf
But that stick
Is just ick
So the cat will stray
Far away
If you come near his bay
Any day
nice and interesting stats Pat,you always surprise (lol)
ReplyDeletehave s nice day!
Glad I can surprise
DeleteIt sure beats being wise..haha
sure dear!! you always surprise (lol)
DeleteUsing dear too
DeleteI must have surprised you
Ha ! Pat you always can say something (lol)
DeleteThat is true
DeleteNo matter if it's gobbly goop something will come due
Hi Pat! Very interesting and enlightening. (Are they real statistics? They sound pretty right.) Crazy world. I love the part about people falling from roof after surviving tree! K.
ReplyDeleteMany are the real deal
DeleteAs real as you make them feel
As in reality they are a load
For they are never ever true unless you go into asking mode
And ask all 7 billion people alive
And not just a whopping five
Crazy world indeed
But then I'm also just plain crazy at my feed
I wasn't convinced by most of these. And in some cases I wanted to ask "X% of what?" In a lot of cases, a stat is just strat!
ReplyDeleteand the bum of the cat is just always fat :)
DeleteYeah many are strat and so much more
DeleteBut fun to use at my shore
They never usually give the what
It's just like they pulled them out of their butt
Or remain as vague as can be
To make themselves sound not so crazy
So you stare at cat bums now?
That is so sad Dez, move on to a cow..haha
At least he didn't sniff it like a dog Pat. It could have been worse.
DeleteYes that could have been much worse
DeleteHe sniffs too much and some lady will whack him with her purse
I hire penguins for sniffing, I don't do it myself... I'm too posh for that business
Deletehaha ohhh those beaks have to hurt
DeleteAs those penguins umm brown nose and flirt
Dez is a master at flirtation Pat, I love him and you're not allowed to pick on him or his penguins.
Deletealthough the fave pastime of my penguins is picking on cats with their beaks :)
DeletePffft not allowed at my sea
DeleteThat is never going to happen, sorry
Dez will get picked on up the gazoo
But he can take it and give back what is due
The penguins will get their beaks cut
As I ordered a beak cutting snappy thing that will arrive on back a mutt
Great rhymes as usual!
ReplyDeleteAs usual great rhymes
DeleteAnd fun times
I didn't know you rhymed on this blog Pat. I'm so glad I know now, it's all becoming clear to me.
Deletehaha yeah it's sooo hard to see
DeleteThe rhyming must be blocked by bush number three
nobody told me that me was great today at my blog, I fell so ungreat :(
DeleteLOL he'll be along
DeleteIf not that is just wrong
"Either way I will use just to abuse"
ReplyDeletethat could be a mantra for your new religious sect, Pat :)
haha use all to abuse all
DeleteThat would work well for the mantra of my hall
Tom Cruise is already jumping at his couch, he wants to leave the Scientology and join USE2ABUSE sect ;)
DeleteLOL sorry no rift rafts in the Use2abuse sect at my sea
DeleteUnless he pays 45632342 million dollars to me
Fell off the roof?
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of goofs.
They need lessons from my feline bunch
I have a hunch.
Several go up there now to do surveillance duty.
They have been taught well by Marmy.
ha.
Marmy teaches them well
DeleteTo avoid the snip snip bell
And to climb up on the roof to look over the land
I bet he thinks he's just grand
I'm surprised it's only 26% for alien abduction; was that only for the midwest US? LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL could have been just there
DeleteAs many prob don't admit they were abducted from their lair
Not that I blame them on that
I'd also remain a quiet cat
what was that little jab at the midwest?
Deletegeesh, we have brains like all the rest.
lol.
I got probed. It was horrible...
DeleteLOL it wasn't me that brought it about
DeleteSo don't shout
LOL I imagine it was an horrible ordeal
Maybe it was fake and not real
LOL - Take no offense Betsy - I only bring it up because of Area 51, I promise. No ill will intended =)
DeleteOh you are free to intend ill will
DeleteThat would be a thrill..haha
First time ever I found any fun in statistics :P
ReplyDeleteSee first time for everything at my shore
DeleteAs I rhyme more and more
Cats with stats
ReplyDeletewhat will they think
of next,
wings with bats,
or bats with wings
children swinging
on a swing
who break their heads
and wind up dead.
Where's the stat on that, Cat?
I think bats with wings have been done
DeleteBut the reverse might be fun
That last stat would just be depressing
So the cat will leave you guessing
I haven't slept in 2 days Pat, I might even be dreaming while awake. It looks like I had a nightmare.
Deletehaha that it does look like indeed
DeleteAnd 2 days at your feed?
Damn, did the time change screw you up
Causing this hiccup?
No I'm a vampire, I never sleep. When the sun comes up, I go down to my crypt and write my blog and talk to you guys. I'm pretty thirsty right now so I'm going to go stalk drunk people at the local pub. Lookin' for a gin drinker tonight!!
DeleteLOL those gin drinkers tasty are they
DeleteAnd as long as there is none of that lovey dovey Twilight vampire stuff on display
The cat is okay with that
As long as you don't chow down on him or Pat
hahah. this has some serious stats.
ReplyDeletesometimes i like numbers :p
haha sometimes they can be fun
Deletewhen a rhyme is spun
the darwin awards are hilarious, you might like our cruder version
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cuntscorner.com/cuntornot.php
England the home of Shakespeare and Dickens...
hahaha yes those are more cruder indeed
DeleteBut still quite funny as when wanking one should take heed
I didn't know power tools had such a high accident record
ReplyDeleteI'm sure with the more stupid people every day that mark will have soared.
Yeah that mark will rise
DeleteAs so many more become unwise
Wait! 90% of people arn't in the top ten percent?!? Wow this is news to me!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not apart of any of those statistics... and that surprized me!
haha didn't fall from a roof
DeleteOr have another goof
That is a very good thing
Not giving any of these stats a ring
Cool piece Pat. As you probably could guess I love the odd and weird stats out there, when I had my PC I used to go to a site with all sorts of odd ones too, kinda like you showed here in your view- many just make you laugh, but there certainly is something to be said about those polled and/or tested. Provides some fun with a reflective gun. By the way, not sure if you heard, but Today did a report the other day, showing that if people don't take their time or carry too many items as they walk up or down stairs, they just might fall down. lol This should be a hit at the pub, you can just go up to people, at the bar, while waiting for your drink and tell them hey, did you know… Might get you somewhere or might get you some looks, either way by doing so you'll probably fall into a stat as well- stats for everything and everything- fun, absurd, but wouldn't want it any other way- well, ok, maybe for the morons to stop contributing to the stats, but if they did the world probably would get better- but you'd lower the need for stats, catch 22..
ReplyDeleteI don't think better would be worse
DeleteAnd less stats wouldn't make me curse
But they are fun to use
And abuse
Obviously they stand a better chance
Of falling from their stance
I'm used to the weird looks though
So that doesn't bother me at my show..haha
Not true that 26% have an alien abduction story? I knew it had to be higher!
ReplyDeleteThis was another fun read.
xoRobyn
Most prob would not admit it
DeleteOr some were too crazy with their fit
Glad it was fun
As another tale was spun
I had to do the six months statistics Canada thing, or, they would take me to court. Dare I say, I hate stats!!! Drat!
ReplyDeletehahaha wow I'd really hate it then too
DeleteWhat those idiots make one do
haha...what about the 99% germs that are to eliminate before you kiss a poem...smiles
ReplyDeleteYes those things need to be gone too
DeleteFar far far out of my view..haha
Witty, Pat...you made me laugh :)
ReplyDeleteGlad I can do so
DeleteAs that is the goal of my show
"And finally 90% of people under Earth's tent,
ReplyDeleteAren't in the top ten percent.
That's probably the only one that is true,
Of all the stats I gave to you."
No kidding, Pat???
haha I would never kid you
DeleteHmmm or maybe that would come due..haha
i admit i went poof when i once fell from the roof
ReplyDeletebut i don't squat like al though he looks like quite a pal
the stats you give are not lame
those plugging into sockets and playing chicken must be the same
alien abduction hints at internal corruption
only 14 percent have lopped off a digit?
it must be people like me who can't figure out the easiest of blog widgets
haha well blog widgets are a challenge to be had
DeleteCould confuse many a lad
Sockets and playing chicken though
I hope you not let such a thing come to pass at your show
But after going poof
From your roof goof
I don't know
How things will go
He..he...I like the numbers, true or not...The verse about the alien abduction made me giggle ~
ReplyDeleteWe have nice spring weather all week...yippeee ~
haha those aliens always help at my land
DeleteTo make things more grand
Nice here too for now
Although freezing rain is supposed to come making many have a cow
per cent, this is worth a dollar or 2
ReplyDeletei know for a fact that this is true;
a visit to your blog and i smile on cue
haha at least that much is true
DeleteFor a smile always seems to come due
I was wondering where you got your stats from as I was reading---clever write----glad that 14% didn't really saw off a limb!
ReplyDeleteLOL some are true
DeleteSome are less that true that you view
But either way glad I am clever
With my rhyming endeavor
Haha - I like the sleep question the best... reminds me of a time I emailed someone and told them to let me know if they don't get it... writing fried brain cells.
ReplyDeletehahahaha yeah that would be kind of hard to do
DeleteAt least right away for you
looks like a good percentage stop by your blog...
ReplyDeleteYeah many seem to stop on by
DeleteAs I let the rhymes fly
It wouldn't surprise me if some of these statistics were true, though. :P
ReplyDeleteSadly many are true
DeleteAt least as far as what they say came due
as they say there are lies, damn lies and statistics
ReplyDeletehahaha and which one is worse
DeleteGod only knows as they all make on curse
As a statistician, I loved it. As a poet I loved it even more. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteTwo in one
DeleteAnd both had fun
That is great
As the cat got no hate
Some people are too diverse to converse!
ReplyDeleteAnd some just want to make you curse
DeleteSo which are worse
If those stats are true then that's nuts
ReplyDeleteNut indeed
DeleteSo many should take heed
here's how things will go
ReplyDeletethere will be a sockets and playing chicken row
i talk as long as i so desire
those in attendance may end up sucking tires
Just make sure the tires
DeleteNot leave any burn marks or fires
Then the passerby
Might lose an eye
42% fall off of roofs? What the heck are they doing up there, anyway?
ReplyDeleteUmmm fixing a leak
DeleteOr maybe putting xmas lights up looking so sleek
So I'm reading tonight, as you might have known.
ReplyDeleteAnd came across this phrase you wrote
"She kissed him so passionately it made his toes curl"
Whoa...now that gave my head a whirl.
Firt time you've said 'curl' was a good thing
as it's usually noses and faces curling
meaning they are more likely hurling
than twirling.
lol.
hahaha never even noticed that
DeleteI guess the hurling is more to do with the cat
At his rhyming sea
Then in the books at Pat's tree
Ha, who knew you were so good at math,
ReplyDeleteperhaps you've found a new career path!
The cat and numbers all got along
DeleteEven with Pat the ding dong
I demand to see the paper that produced these stats. Something tells me it wasn't peer reviewed. :P
ReplyDeleteLOL you could very well be right
DeleteAs I think some of these were made up on site
80% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
ReplyDeleteYep that is true
DeleteFor all but 20% of what you view
Know what you are? A freakin' fertile funster! Who needs telly? You always paint these quick images that bobble. Thanks!
ReplyDeletehahaha oh I like that
DeleteMakes me seem like such a fun cat
Still Pat would never forgo the TV
As he is a movie nut you see
Stats with style. What a refreshing change.
ReplyDeleteYeah quite the change
DeleteFrom the usual mumbo jumbo at the stats range
I think I must be rather thick
ReplyDeleteYour post confused on first look
Re-reading I gave my butt a kick
Coz simple as a child's first book
Stats are stats
Simple as that
But you're one crazy bat
And clever cat!
Ooh it's been too long since I've read one of your posts. Need to keep up with your weird mindset!
haha yes it isn't that hard
DeleteBut since you've been away from my rhyming yard
I suppose I will let you off the hook
Just this once at my nook
A weird mindset indeed
Is what you'll always find at my feed
And this is 100% fun, Pat.
ReplyDeleteYou really know what to do with a stat!
haha that I do
DeleteUse it for a rhyme then flush em down the loo
Yep, definitely very grand facts, Pat. I, for one, never suck on a pillow. Just on a straw connected to my bourbon.
ReplyDeleteWell I suppose as long as you aren't a full blown drunk
DeleteThat sure beats the pillow sucking funk
Nope. Never been drunk. At least I don't remember....
Deletehaha well that is a good way to be
DeleteAnd if not it's nice to have no memory..haha
This brought much glee to me
ReplyDeleteas I deal with worker stupidity
all the time at my day job... woe is me! :P
On a side note, have you heard the song Statistician's Blues? Similar idea. :)
haha I think many have to deal with that
DeleteSo does Pat at his work mat
Never heard that one
Will have to go give it a run
Pat, this poem is the exclamation point on a weekend that has now just begun.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Mark Butkus
haha glad it was grand
DeleteAs you came to my land
