Pokemon In A Nutshell

Fire doesn’t like water

And water doesn’t like grass

And grass doesn’t like bugs

Because bugs are a pain in the ass.

Bugs don’t like rocks

And rocks don’t like fighting

And fighting is afraid of psychics

Because they say the right thing.

Psychics don’t like ghosts

And ghosts don’t like the dark

And darkness hates fairies

Because they hang out in the park.

Fairies don’t like poison

And poison hates the ground

And ground does not like ice

Nor the British sterling pound.

Ice, of course, hates fire

And there are dragons in here too.

Normal stuff hates getting punched.

See, it’s super simple! Whoo!

Before They Were Famous

He may seem like a regular guy

But there’s something you don’t know:

There’s a secret god of rock and roll

Inside this Average Joe.

He can make a room of peasants dance

And blow the roof off nightly

But he also has to pay the bills

To not appear unsightly.

He’s a part-time rockstar with a full-time job,

An overdriven ax and a name tag (“Bob”).

He’s bohemian, rhapsodic, and his stairway to heaven

Just happens to start at the 7/11.

So next time you go out to purchase a slurpee

Just know that the guy who you pay

Might just be the someone you blast as you’re driving,

A new-age Bon Jovi someday,

And know that berating him ‘cause your burrito

Is stale is annoying and wrong

And he’ll write down your name so when he finds fame

Your behavior will be a hit song.

Maybe It’s Not A Race Thing… It’s A Kidnapping A Princess Thing

There once was a dragon named Fred

Who didn’t want to end up dead,

So he went to the vet

And said “I’m a pet”

And now he is loved and well fed.

I Feel Like This Will Age Well…

Today was a Monday.

It wasn’t a fun day,

Nor was it remarkably fateful.

Today was a Monday.

Now it’s a done day.

And for that I am certainly grateful.

What Did You Have For Lunch?

Today I tried making sushi

And, in a way, it was a success…

I managed to put all the rice in a roll

And wrap it in bamboo and press.

The ingredients all fit together

And it tasted like sushi indeed.

The downside is it looked like Lizzo

Wrapped in very expensive seaweed.

Poems from My Vacation 5 – Skagway

Skagway has a choo-choo ride

Up through an icy pass.

My wife and I ate burgers there

‘Cause the cruise burgers were… fine.

There was a tram that led up to

Majestic mountains silver.

They also sold alpaca clothes

That cost so much they… fine?

We watched a film about the rush

For gold in Yukon lands.

The supply of actual gold to find

Far outweighed demand

And so a lot of horses died

(And sure, some humans too).

My wife got sick… I found a stick…

Did I mention the choo-choo?

This Was The Song That Like Literally Defined My Childhood, You Know?

My car

Your dad

His car

My bad

It’s just

A flesh wound

New paint?

I’m doomed!

I’m coming to terms with what I just did

‘Cause I’m just a punk music 2000’s kid!

Hey dude

We’re good

I’m white

But I say “hood”

I can’t

Sing well

That’s why

I yell

All the songs I sing sound like Green Day did

‘Cause that’s the dream of every punk 2000’s kid!

(Nana na na… nana na, na, nana nana na) x9

…2000’s kid!

The Future Is Now

There once was an AI named Jill

Who had a most marvelous skill:

She could click every bus

So as not to seem sus

Before going back in time for the kill.

This Is Just Facts

There once was a pokemon game

Where you chose your rival’s name.

It was probably “Ass”

Or akin to that class

But the new pre-named rivals are lame.

Or, You Know, A Crippling Depression Once A Century Or So…

I don’t believe in giving the government

Unlimited power to spend

Because what if they give

Drum sets to all who live?

See how badly all this could end?
