When You Started A Poem On Valentine’s Day, But Couldn’t Find The Perfect Similes ‘Til Now

I love you

Like city officials love roundabouts

And bicycle lanes

And sidewalks with little gardens

That make them impossible to traverse.

I need you

Like white girls need artisan coffee

With little flowers made of milk

And 27 makeup brushes

To achieve that perfect “no makeup” look.

I want you

Not quite as much as I want trading cards

But pretty close,

Especially when you’re not all hormonal

And don’t talk too much.

Your boobs are nice too.

Musician Uniforms

Black shirt plus cat hair

Makes the maestro panic ‘til

Sticky roller comes.

When You Add AI…

Duolingo used to teach

Useful phrases like:

“I want to eat a dinosaur”

And “My dog can ride a bike”.

Now it tells you stories

Like “Hi Lucy, I’m making bread.”

“Thank you, Junior. I saw a ghost.”

Then ask, “Which word means ‘head?’”

The Best Part Of Waking Up

Pooping is great!

Pooping is fun!

Just sit on the toulet

And ploop! You’re all done!

Or if you are male

And/or have a phone

Pooping can give you

An hour alone!

Test Scores Declining = Ineffective Terminators

What if a time traveler became a teacher

And for a few decades or so

Just didn’t teach people to write

Because they already know

That AI will destroy the world

And our only hope are those

Who trained the AI how to write

Using their own terrible prose?

The Lube Job

I can’t afford to pay a dominatrix.

Their fee is simply too high to abide,

So when I want to be whipped and degraded

I turn on the “check engine” light in my ride.

The Beginning Of A Grand Adventure

Somewhere far beyond these walls

Walking amidst the eldritch halls

Are dwarves and elves and even men

Saying, “Damn GPS screwed up again.”

Orthodox Inroverts

When people say “What would Jesus do?”

I take that to mean

That I should go underground

And for three days not be seen.

Serious Answers Only

What do you put on a resume

To get one of those jobs

Where you sit behind a desk

With zero buttons or knobs

And fail to acknowledge customers

Because you’re so darn busy

Watching YouTube with subtitles

And gossiping about Lizzy ?
