Word Choice Matters

Tonight my pipes were in trouble

Because they’d broken the law.

The cops spotted their getaway

And shouted “There! Haha”

And then the cops made a booboo

As they called to the pipes in the night:

They shouted “Freeze!” and now

There’s no water to shower tonight.

This Poem Was Written In Real Time…

The waitress took our order

With a smile on her face

And then apparently decided

To desert the human race.

More than half an hour later

We’ve killed a pitcher of beer.

Our senses are still present

Though the help has disappeared.

It’s midnight at the bar,

Then it’s one here at the grill.

Our belly’s good and empty

But our hope is holding still.

We’re waiting on our sandwich

And it’s 2025,

And the chef has just confirmed

That the waitress is alive.

My beard is grey, my hair is gone,

I drool and shift and snore…

Then the waitress comes out smiling

And she says “Five minutes more.”

Lycanthropyness (Other Spellings Acceptable)

I’m basically a werewolf

But instead of being transformy

When the full moon rises

I get very horny.

The other difference

Between a werewolf and my ways

Is that I’m also were-horny

The other 28 days.

When Your 12-Year-Old Tells A Dirty Joke

A missionary and his doggy

Went to town via 69th street.

This poem would be longer

But I don’t know grownup sheet.

The Lightbulb Gets An Idea

How many does it take to change me

The humans like to ask

To amuse themselves at my expense

While in my light they bask.

They love me not for what I am

But only what I do

And so I ask: Need I be changed

Or should the change be you?

Seahawks Fans Right Now

There once was a team called the Bears

Who thrust my clan into despairs.

They sucked at a sport,

But so do my cohort

So at the end of the day, who cares?

Ski Weekends

We’ve got our boots and fresh white snow.

We’re in the car and off we go!

We’re gonna ski until the sun

Is dark, we’re cold, and then we’re done.

We’re going to slide across the ice

First left, then right, a swish, a slice,

Until we say “I’ve got this, ace!”

That’s when we’ll fall right on our face.

We’re wet and weak, our feet are sore.

We cannot ski a minute more.

We’re in the car, a happy mess

And that’s how we define success.

“Daily” Travesty… That Was A Joke

I am in a cabin

Eating French fries with my wife.

Poetry is great and all

But then again so is my life.

White People Be Rappin’ Like

If I had a hippo

You wouldn’t gimme no lip, yo.

But I’ve got an elephant

And you’re just like “omg, can’t.”

So I just bought a rat,

So have fun with that

As I pull out my gator

And say “see ya later.”

If I Transcribed My Entire Thought Process While Writing Jokes Instead Of Just The Finished Product

There once was a suburban dad

Who was a most serious lad.

He never told jokes

To his kids or his folks

And because of that they all were sad.

Now that you feel sufficiently guilty…

What did the dog say to the octopus?

I like bones.

Get it? ‘Cause he’s a dog?

Laugh, or I’ll read you the limerick again…
