Realistic Goals

Tomorrow’s the day I’ll do everything

And be the best version of me.

I’ll accomplish my dreams and be happy

And authentically awesome to see.

I’ll shoot for the moon and I’ll hit it!

I’ll inspire the brave and the true!

But today I’ve reserved to be average

And embody “I’m fine, how are you”.

On Nursing And Duty

Roses are red

My fiancée is achey

So I have an excuse

If this poem seems flakey.

See? This Is Why All We See Are Stupid Moths!

The monarch butterfly revealed

It’s gold and ebony splendor,

The ruler with antennas fair

And wings both strong and tender.

Alas, his reign was shortened

When he came upon a boy

Who thought his wings were pretty

And he’d make a worthy toy.

The boy absconded with the bug

Who ruled the butterflies

And in a box of colorful corpses

Does now his body lie.

So I decry the practice

Of collecting bugs and lobby

That only spiders be collected

By those who hold this hobby.

The D&D Flowchart

If at first you don’t succeed

You may find wit is what you need;

If your wit should fail, then try

To punch your foe into the sky;

If the sky is far or your muscles weak

With silver tongue you next must speak;

And should you speak as does this poet

Conjure a fireball and throw it.

Bill Jigger Gets Rejected From MIT

Bill Nye became a science guy

Because he rhymed his name

But my parents still won’t tell me why

I cannot do the same…

Somewhere, In Their Parents’ Basement, Is An Overworked Game Designer Making Voting Machines

In every Pokemon game

The story is the same.

In Zelda, the main canon

Is the bad guy’s always Ganon.

So if you say that Russia

Is rigging elections, I’ll shush ya

‘Cause if anybody can

I’d guess the culprit is Japan.

It’s Never Easy In Seattle

The Seahawks today were a flyin’

When they beat a Michigan Lion:

With three turnovers, ‘twas prominent

How they were utterly dominant

And so barely squeaked out a win.

A Limerick About Mobile Games

There once was a Candy Crush knockoff

There twice was a Candy Crush knockoff

There thrice was a knockoff

Four times was a knockoff

Five times was a Candy Crush knockoff

Classic Literature

Of all the editors who ever were

One doesn’t get enough credit:

Somebody read “69,046.767 miles under the sea” And asked “have you heard of a league?”

(The other editors never read it)

Enough Is Enough

Why do we keep electing the people

Who think that it’s totally cool

To make a new law that requires a sign

That says “Wet Floor” and goes in the pool?
