Why Won’t He Wife Me?

Everybody tells me that he’s poison

And is blood is made of boiling gasoline.

He’s never loved anybody more than himself

And he’s a barrel-chested killing machine.

He eats a baby bunny for his breakfast.

He’s got Bambi’s mommy mounted on the wall.

He’s a runner and a gunner and a scoundrel

And like OMG, I hope he’s six feet tall!

Now THAT Is Motivation

Tonight I was sleepy and happy

And snuggled up, warm in my bed.

I could’ve been dreaming of Springtime

But I’m writing this poem instead.

Now normally I would just give up

And write four lines that sorta rhyme

But tonight I’m the very best version of me

So I’ll waste twice as much of your time.

Talent Shows

Bands will play their marches

And choirs sing their hymns

And jazzers swing their two-five-ones

And rockers take their stims

And orchestras will pizzicato

While dancers strike a pose

But what you just did on that stage

Managed to be none of those…

Duo, Pourquoi Es-Tu En Colère?

There once was a multilingual green owl

Whose temper had grown fully foul.

He said “Practice your French!”

As he pulled out a wrench

Then watched me spell “vingt” with a scowl.

Optimism, First Grade Prepper Edition

I know that world war 3 is coming

And it’ll be really bad

But when you remember what comes next

It takes away the sad

‘Cause world war 4 is going to be fought

With sticks and stones they say

Which means puppies will be soldiers

And puppies make us yay!

My Essay on the Causes of World War II

I like how people decided

That art was subjective

And you can like anything you want

But then you draw a bicycle

And you get a C in art class

From a guy whose degree

Taught them a red line on a blank canvas

Was worth millions of dollars.

Maybe I should be a politician instead?

Sweet Child O’ Mine

If given a choice

Between water and wine

Instead ask for orange juice

And you’ll get on fine.

If given a choice

Between fire and ice

Just say “I’ll have lightning

“‘Cause that would be nice.”

If given a choice

Between evil and good

Do what you want

If you want what you should

For picking a choice

Between one or another

Is much too convenient

For me and your mother.

Every Musical Ever (You’re Welcome!)

There once was a first-billed actress

Who’s uncertain leading man will bring bliss.

They’ll sing and they’ll dance

And they’ll sing and they’ll dance

And they’ll sing and they’ll dance

And they’ll… you get the point…

And it ends with a curtain and kiss.

This Is One Instance Where A Live Stream Would Be Helpful

Can I write a poem

In exactly ten hours?

I could were I not so aloof.

See, it would be brilliant

But I’m insufficiently resilient

To answer your query: “Where’s the proof?”

But it
