Have you ever made a comment

On a Facebook post and seen

It explode into the biggest thing

Since someone refried a bean?

For the next ten days your inbox

Says a bunch of strangers think

It’ll be fantastic

(Except Manuel, who wants it to stink).

You try to send it all to spam.

You turn notifications off,

But the post keeps drawing comment

And the Universe does scoff.

You know it won’t be ending soon,

And all you can do is wait.

I commented on a post like that.

In fact, I did on eight…

You Can Be Too, With Just Two Easy Payments…

Badass is a state of mind.

Take a photographer

Who takes pictures of weddings

For Mrs. And Mr.

He’s not traditionally cool,

But in his head

He’s a ninja in disguise

Taking photos of the wed. 

Or take the guy at the Chevron

Who pumps your tank of gas.

He knows if you get mouthy

He’ll “swipe anywhere” on your ass.

Take a look around you

At the wallpaper, lights, and your shoes.

These could all be badasses

If they had the desire to choose.

Bat Teen

Great adventures await

Those with powers great.

I’m great too,

But woop-de-doo,

I’d rather sleep in late.

Crooks and Homophones

We were robbing a grocer.

I said “buy me some time.”

He went to the spices,

Then the express checkout line.

We landed in prison.

Our plans came unfurled.

Now all we’ve got left

Is all the thyme in the world.

Life On A Farm

My brother-in-law

Thinks poultry are sultry.

My other bro’s honey’s a bee.

I’m the traditional guy in the family:

Nothing but cousins for me!

Why Elves Are Wise

If an idiot, moron, or joke

Or another dim-witted bloke

Puts their foot into their maw

And make a sage of themselves,

They become elves

With arrows and wizards. Oh ya!

Haikommercials

Winding mountain pass.

A deep voice talks about specs.

Gotta buy that Porsche.
There’s a friendly man

Succeeding at basic tasks.

Nope, just kidding. Lol!
That weird moment when

You’re watching some late night crap

And think “I need that.”

Ok, Only Ten Minutes…

Have you ever had the pressure

Of pleasing lots of people

With a rather stupid poem

That took nine seconds to write?

If you have, you’re awesome.

If you haven’t, you are too.

This took me fifteen minutes,

And with that, to all, good night!

Home and the Heart

I read yesterday

That to find love you must

Do what you like doing

And in destiny trust.

I read that by living

As you naturally would

Love will find you

(Or at least it should).

So I lie in my boxers,

Asleep on my couch,

With a paused Halo 4

Shining light on my slouch.

I dream lovely dreams

Of her warmth on my skin,

And I wait for the day

Some cute burglar breaks in.

I Sorta Want To Kill You Or Something, Maybe

He was a timid sort of man

Who did things halfway

As was evidenced by

One very bad day.

He was on the sidewalk

In his new suit and tie

When a puddle was flung

By a car passing by.

Well, the timid man’s temper

Got hotter and hotter.

He had murder in mind,

But settled for manslaughter.
