A New Perspective

I’ve started to think of ads

As memes from strangers’ dads

About brands I don’t know

And that makes me feel so

Much less like I’ve been punched in the ‘nads.

A Universal Symbol Of Me

I wanted to get a tattoo

Of something that was always true

To remind myself by simple sight

Of something that is always right.

I thought of words, but words can change

Like “queer” no longer meaning strange

And alphabets can change a lot…

“So much for a tattoo”, I thought

But what about a picture that

Reflects the world and where I’m at?

A picture that will grow with me

No matter who I grow to be?

I used to love a Pokemon

But my favorite one keeps moving on.

I used to think that I was wise

But what I knew were often lies.

I used to be a man of God

But now I find the Bible odd.

And then, at once, it came to me!

An image only I could see

That would grow and change as I

Would grow and change and smile and sigh:

My skin, unchanged except by age,

My empty slate, my blank white page.

I’ll know, I know, I knew I’d see

I need no mark to just be me.

Six Seasons And A Movie…

I’m not a huge fan of reality shows

But one that I think would impress

Is a battle-royale style contest between

All 535 folks in congress.

We’d give them katanas and send them away

To a place that’s devoid and bereft

And let them do anything they want to do

Until there’s just one of them left.

The final survivor gets to be president

And the senate and house get refilled

By neighbors and bosses and IRS workers

And anyone else we want killed.

“Award Winning” Vs. “Best Selling”

For those who want to differentiate

Between “Fiction” and “Literature”

Here’s a handy-dandy little guide:

It’s fiction if the story

Has a point and ends in glory.

Literature ends when boring people die.

Once You Hunt White Your Whole Crew Ain’t Alright

So I wrote this book called “Moby Dick”

But my publisher says its a marketing fail

So I kept the story and changed the title

And now it’s called “The White Whale”.

Late Night?

Growing up is when you play

D&D 12 hours a day.

Being an adult is when your Bard

Says “It’s 9:00 guys. We worked too hard.”

Evening Cuddles

Fat cat on my lap goes splat

And I pat his fat and that is that.

I rub and rub all ‘round his roundness

Until I question my mental soundness.

I sploop his leg and bwork his boop

And give his little gleeb a ploop

And then he bites and runs away

And thus I end another day.

ADHD

I’m an absent-minded guy

And I’d probably make a terrible spy.

On an unrelated note

I mowed the lawn and bought a boat.

Another Unifying Political Policy… Almost

I think most people are open

To human sacrifice. However

We disagree on who gets picked

And who will pull the lever.
