She’s perfect.
If you have time, you can finally get it right. First for passion then,Brains then a coffee maker,Opsigamy wins. “Find the perfect mate,Tis better late than never,It’s never too late. “

Such a common issue that there should be an off button.
We all fall for this one, and are forced to learn stuff. Who prints on both sides,Opisthograph as default,Those damn new printers. “Recto and verso,Two always better than one,What’s on the B side. “

Also, a serious pain to spell.
Onychocryptosis is too much of a pain to haiku. The pain is quite real,Prefer to be Defeeted,Onyxis humbles “We are volunteers,No return on investment,Choose the simple words. “

This can apply to positions of leadership occupied by non-leaders.
Another useful word for a person on the first part of the Dunning Kruger curve. A village has one,Could believe the Earth is flat,It’s an omadhaun.

One bolt of lightning, and some petroleum product. What could go wrong.

Ignorance is bliss.
This one contains a personal inside joke. I can’t read this past Twilight. A great place to stand,Providing Bliss by proxy,Nyctalopia. “Blinded by the night,Very confusing lyrics,Wrapped up like a deuce. “

The silver lining is these never wear a hole in your pocket.
I carry one of these everywhere I go. Not the nickel tour,Nor a penny for your thoughts,Can beat the nuppence. “If I had a dime,I would spend it on some time,But I am flat broke. “

I avoided writing “just the tip.”
The real reason ice sailing did not catch on. It’s not smooth sailing,Rock “icebergs” litter The view,Here be nunataks “Solemnly taking,Lonely peeks at lonely peaks,A stones’ throw away. “
