I am not much into Poeetry or horror stories, but I did really like The Great Edgar's more-light-hearted tales, "The Gold Bug" and "The Purloined Letter".

"If you 'prepare for the worst' by bringing along extra jackets/gloves, an umbrella, etc., then the skies will be sunny and mild all the time you're 'out 'n' about'. But if you decide to leave all that stuff behind at home and set out on your trip in just your ordinary street-clothes, there'll be a bleepin' MONSOON or HURRICANE!
The morning started out kinda overcast and nippy, so I brought an umbrella, thick hoodie-jacket, and gloves with me when I set out to run some errands around town. Well, naturally, once I got a fair distance from home and thus I didn't wanna traipse all the way back to put everything away again, the sun came out and the day got really warm, and so I was just feverishly lugging all that extra stuff around with me for nothing... classic case of "Murphy's Law of Foul-Weather Gear", I guess.

What you smilingly reply if a concerned passerby stops next to where you're exhaustedly sprawled out beside da road and asks if you need help.
Motorist, slowing down next to where a pedestrian is lying flat on da sidewalk: You sick or hurt, Buddy??
Pedestrian, giving a casual and appreciative flutter of his hand: Nah --- just resting --- thanks for stopping to check on me, anyway, though!

A lie-detector test used to supposedly determine whether or not you have a harem of spouses. Dudes like Warren Jeffs should have been required to take one prior to starting their sect-compounds.
It's lucky that electronics were unheard of back when King Salomon was around, or he would most definitely have failed the polygamraph test BIG time!

An abrasively-outspoken critic who derisively slams the ideas/actions of another simultaneously-prominent person who's currently in the public eye.
Tronald Dump is such a blatantly-idiotic a**h**e that he has a record number of contemptorary citizens, both domestic and foreign.

Financial-support payments you make to someone to recompense him for your not having made his pickles crisp enough.
Someone in Connecticut was censured in the late '40's for selling pickles that didn't bounce; he had to pay some hefty alumony for said infraction.

Perhaps Bubba J would indeed love to live in Sibeeria for da copious malted beverages, but --- although some auto-racing does indeed take place in dat "icebox of da north" area --- unfortunately there would be no NASCAR.
