For The Non-Partiers

I’ve got a real shindig

For those wallflowers out there.

I’ve got seats in every corner

To sit silently and stare.

I’m not saying it’ll get crazy,

But heck, you never know!

All y’all are invited.

BYO H2O.

Unusual Tastes

Someone put Mayo on my lucky charms.

These pranks have to stop!

How am I supposed to taste my Sriracha

Through all that eggy glop?

Spam Has Feelings Too

Sure, I send love notes

To quite a long list

Of folks who viewed websites

Your firewall missed.

One day I’ll be Rachel,

Then April or Pam.

I’m whomever you like

If you check out my cam.

My purpose of being

Is simply to please.

I’ll make your face a colon

With a parantheses. 🙂

Sure I’m a robot,

But please don’t be irked.

I’ll love you like Siri

If she actually worked.

Why My Fitness Starts In February

He’s running backwards on the treadmill,

She’s failing to do a squat,

And that guy with the free weights

Is doing who know’s what.

They try not to laugh at her

And not to stare at him.

It’s every fit guy’s nightmare:

January at the gym.

A Courteous Reply To Billy Joel

I know you want me to sing you a song

‘Cause you’re feeling okey-dokey.

But I don’t sing. I’m the Piano Man.

Why don’t y’all go and sing Karaoke?

A Good Year… So Far

I’ve exercised every day so far!

I’ve been a better lay so far!

I’ve eaten healthy food so far!

I haven’t even been rude so far!

I’ve been cheerful, smart, and nice so far,

And only been driven to kill some jerk who’s not as fit, healthy, sexy, and friendly as me twice…

So far.

Domestic Departure

Her skin smells of home

Like a freshly-cooked meal.

Her hair gleams in the sun.

Like a newly mopped floor.

Her eyes are as blue

As just-cleaned toilet water.

Too bad she doesn’t

Live here anymore.

Better Travesties – Next Time

Next year I resolve

Not to write these dumb haikus.

Glad it’s still this year!

“Resolutions,” by M. Night Shyamalan

I resolve in 2016

To become a manly man,

To give compliments to strangers

And save money when I can.

But what I haven’t told you

Is I lure strangers to my house

And spend their money instead of mine,

And, oh yeah! I’m a mouse.

This Bugs Me

A solid block of milk

Hits a grown up caterpillar

Who bursts into tears.

The butter flies,

The moth bawls.
