Not The Adventurous Sort

If I could be any animal

For just a single day

I would be a human

‘Cause right now my life’s ok.

One Of Those Times

Brute strength can’t do everything.

Stamina has limits.

Despite how hard you try

Not every couplet rhymes.

You can lose your focus.

You can lose your mind.

Life might not gives you lemons,

And maybe not even limes.

Sometimes you write two stanzas

Before you realize

That you have no conclusion.

But you don’t want to erase.

Sometimes you write “you”

When referring to yourself.

Next time you write this poem

Instead use “what’s your face.”

NFL Commentary

How do you like those Animals?

They’ve got grit and size and speed.

Getting the ball from the QB’s hands

To the receiver’s what they need.

They’ve got guys who make a difference,

They’re just as strong as they seem,

And I think they’ll be successful

If they score more than the other team.

Donald Trump, Millennial

Don’t blame me for staying inside.

It isn’t an attempt to hide.

I’m not opposed to wind or sleet,

Nor do I have tired feet.

I’m not a hermit. I have friends

And ways of meeting all the ends.

I’m neither strange nor bizarre

If I’d rather not go to a bar.

I have my needs (I am a guy).

A wife would be great, but I’ve got Wi-Fi.

I don’t stay in ’cause I’m afraid

Of getting shot or not getting laid.

I stay inside because out there

People laugh about my hair.

Two Weeks To Go…

I expect Yoda’ve heard by know

About an awakening in the force.

I hope it doesn’t take after sand,

Getting everywhere, rough and coarse.

This film will be our only hope

No matter how you Luke at it

To see if a stormtrooper main character

Can manage to make a hit.

I’ll be Red 7 standing by,

Not getting forty winks

To see if JJ Abrams

Gets nicknamed JJ Binks.

And so, though there’s two weeks to go

This poet’s had mesa some funs.

Now this poem’s Finn-ished

And I’ll Leia’ff the puns.

A Review of “Moby Dick,” by T Pain

Let me tell you a story

All about how

My boat got capsized

Upside down.

Was this big f’n whale

Cooked up in a meth lab.

He’s white as a cracker

Like my brotha’, Ahab.

Now my bro chased the whale

Through like 800 pages

Cross a buttload o’ seas

And all through the ages.

So if you’re a reader

You know shit just got real

When you turn to page one:

“Call me Ishmael.”

eHarmony

Where have the real men gone, you ask,

And where have the damsels fled?

I hope the internet can tell me.

Meanwhile, I’ve got my bed.

All is…

Some days

All is well.

Other days,

All is… Well…

Starcrossed Nemeses

She was like a James Bond villain:

Charismatic, certainly,

And she had a pool of sharks

And talked nonstop to me.

That suited me just fine.

I’ve also got an evil brain,

But I’m the type of bad guy

With bad teeth who gets thrown off a train.

And I Bet They Have Cute Uniforms There

Do you want to be a wizard,

A chef or a vampire?

Do you want to train a monster

Or have power over fire?

Do you want to be a warrior

Who fights an evil horde?

Or maybe it’s that normal school

Just leaves you feeling bored.

If you want to read your family’s minds

Or own a talking cat,

Chances are, in animé,

There’s a school for that.
