You’re Used To It By Now

5:00 AM alarm

Set for wake up tomorrow

Thus, it’s haiku night!

New York City, 2026

Somewhere, in an all-gender bathroom,

The attack helicopters hover

At opposite ends of the row of urinals

Not speaking to each other

But grateful that the war is over.

I stand between them,

Pretending that I’m peeing.

In a nearby stall

The aardvarks howl.

Travel Plans

Flying tuna can

Crammed with average human beings.

Twice delayed so far.

AARP ASMR

If you use YouTube

To watch people building things

Just retire now.

Read That Last Word With Four Syllables To Make Me Seem Smarter

When you are a poetic bard

Having a social life is hard

Because you may be out at night

But need to do a daily write.

Hypothetical as this may sound

This is where I, this night, am found.

When you read other brief poems by me

Know that I’m healthy socially.

Preamble to a Night on the Couch

I’m not lying. I’m just saying

That you appear as if you’re weighing

More than your real weight suggests…

Ok, you do look fat in that dress.

Another Inconvenient Truth

If you’re struggling in your career

Give Hollywood a call

Because there’s no script for a 67 movie yet

And they’ll take anything at all.

Book Review: A Dark And Horny Knight

It’s about this guy who’s a demon

With virile and plentiful… oh lord.

I tried dear, I swear

But I really don’t dare

To review the books that have you screamin’.

Dark And Stormy Night

Samhain night, a downpour wild

Can’t douse the heart of Autumn’s child

Who dresses as their greatest fear

And walks the streets in merry cheer

Demanding sweets from passers by

Who look upon the youth and sigh

Recalling when they stood so small,

Another life, another Fall.
