Volume Also Increases In Proportion To Said Dumbness

The dumbness of a given thing

Is strongly correlated

With how late I am this morning

And how closely we’re related.

Mysteries of the Fairer Sex

My wife brought home ten pairs of shoes

Because she simply couldn’t choose

Between the heels, the pumps, the flats,

The mules, the boots, the this-and-thats,

The espadrilles, the gladiators,

So bought them all, saying “See you laters”.

I, on the other hand, am a guy

And really have to wonder why

She wants more than a couple pumps

To satisfy her lady lumps…

Abs for the Sedentary

There once was a gym teacher, Hank

Who I for one think we should thank.

He said, “Movement is bad

“And it makes me sad”

And so he invented the plank.

Spill The Tea, Casper

What if ghosts just fly around

To dig up the gossip on you

And that’s why they’re hiding under the sheets

And always whispering “OoOoOohhhh”?

Tourism

I saw a commercial on TV

For the state of Illinois.

Apparently, they have a restaurant

And a museum too. Oh boy!

I’m packing my bags and dreaming

Of my grand midwest escape

Where the humidity is thick

And so is the red tape!

True Story (Unfortunately)

Tonight, when playing pickleball

I did a little dance

While trying to smack that fickle ball

And oops! I ripped my pants!

I learned to play more cautiously.

Also, for what it’s worth

I’ve secured my reputation

As the whitest man on Earth.

Public Transit Life Hack

If you say “Sentimental Salamander” ten times

Then bellow, “Meet your doom”

People on the train will give you space

So yay to more leg room!

7-9-7

If you make a long haiku

With too many syllables in it

Nothing changes. Lighten up.

And Then When WordPress Deletes Your Spaces Upon Publishing So You Have To Right/Center Align Stuff Instead… That’s Having An Editor!

poetry

is the art

of making things

really hard to

read

through

arbitrary

spacing

and forgetting to capitalize words

Unless

They

Make

An

impact

Baptist Easter

Two-Thousand Twenty-Five years ago

Judas told Jesus “YOLO”

But Jesus, lacking any fear

Said “Judas, my brudda, holdeth my beer.”
