…At First Sight

If you were a cow

I’d give you a moo.

If you were the floor

I’d take a picture of you.

If you were a quiz show

I’d hazard a guess,

But since you’re a human

I couldn’t care less.

Traffic Jam

I put some rubber on my toast

Along with smog and frustration,

Mixed with a soupsant

Of despair and irritation.

It wasn’t a great breakfast,

But I didn’t want to shirk,

So I had toast with traffic jam

On my way to work.

‘Murica!

This poem is short

And not very funny,

Just like tax day

And my new lack of money.

The Value Of A Missing Letter

Carved of granite, nine feet tall,

He stares down and calls you small.

If your likeness, he is an imitation.

He is your statue of limitation.

Three Day Weekend

I’m busy as an ugly hooker,

Yet I have no free time

To clean the house or exercise

Or come up with a requisite rhyme.

The lazy Sunday model

Is how every day should be.

I’m doing the same this Monday.

Let’s hear it: Who’s with me?

A Recipe For Disaster

A teaspoon of a crazy thought,

Two cups of your favorite beer,

A pinch of “well, it couldn’t hurt”

Absolutely zero fear.

Entertainment Budget

I called a 1-900 sex line

Out of curiosity.

I was informed my telephone

Would be charged a rather high fee.

I did the math and budgeted;

Eighty seconds is all I could be on.

So I pressed “pound” (and chuckled)

And got ready for a marathon.

Wisdom?

Treasure thy body

Above thy mind.

Brains can go shoddy,

But not dat behind.

The Shameless Plug

Although at first glance

He was a ball of hair,

And like “Sex, Lies, and Poetry

He had an unapologetic air.

The hairball plugged my shower

And made the water stay

Like laughter at a poetry book

Or homeless guys at a KOA.

The shameless plug held water

So I was forced to buy Drano.

It cost me almost $5.99.

What a fantastic low price! Whoa!

So now my shower drains just fine.

The shameless plug has fled.

Now I’m happy and clean, and my only wish

Is to read some funny poems in bed.

The Hunger Games

I did an activity in a setting

That evokes a novel mood,

Then you you see my way of life

And my love interest dude.

Then it’s all turned upside down

In this young adult dystopia,

And I have to kill some children

Packed inside a cornucopia.

Eventually I win the games,

Then I go back my fam.

Then I go on a victory tour

In a super-high-tech tram.

I see some starving people

And they kiss their fingers at me.

I say some stupid, honest stuff

And hope they’ll let me be.

Alas, I’m wrong, and the mean white guy

Puts me back in the game.

I bust out with an arrow.

A shoddy forcefield’s to blame.

I find myself deep underground

Amidst a rebel plot,

And I get to dress up like a bird

And get the rebels hot.

We fight a war and sort of win

(‘Cause lots of people die).

Then I marry love interest

And bid you all good bye.
