I enjoyed this, too, Paula, very much. I think I like the (I'm sorry) sher best. (Perhaps because they are unconnected, my instinct is always to try to pick a favorite sher....although comparison is the thief of joy, etc.)
The one sher lacking a perfect "own" rhyme stood out. Perhaps you could do something with (+ 1) = "unknown" there instead.
I wasn't sure I liked the playful ice cream cone, but sure, why not?
I was surprised not to see (area code) + "phone" in there somewhere, but I guess that information isn't non-essential.
A brief nod like "After Ulalume Gonzalez de Leon" as an epigraph might be nice.
