My Community College Application Essay

“He who thinks great thoughts

“Often makes great errors”.

That’s a quote from Martin Heidegger.

I don’t think great thoughts

And I also make great errors…

That’s a quote from me. Also, Flydeigger.

More Is Better

“Would you like to sit at the table”

My mother asked, her voice sour.

“I’m good” I replied, my voice filled with pride

As I stared down at her from my tower.

The Other Opening Was For “End Of Days Rituals Inc.

I got a job at the olive oil factory

And my coworker is a nun.

Now they can write “Extra Virgin” again

‘Cause for a while they just had one.

My Foreign Policy Platform

I think instead of buying tanks

We should hire children

To run around with pool noodles

And speak in Italian to people

Who are unhappy

Because America deserves happiness

And we have to spend $33 trillion on something.

Tucker’s One Regret

When I was in Kindergarten

We all sang a song

That was very fun

But not very long

That went “Hannah Hannah Bo Banna

“Banana fana fo fana

Me my mo mannah

Hannah.”

We sang it over and over

Until whenever the time came

That everyone but me had been called

But they never did my name…

No Pain, No Gawain

I am getting sleepy

And I open wide to yawn,

Then I march into my bedroom

And put plate armor on.

My chainmail hugs me tightly

And I fall into a heap…

This is what I have to do

To get a good knight’s sleep.

When Dad Talks To Your Friends

Tubing is rad

And, like, what’s up my homies?

I like Minecraft and pickles

And my sister’s a bronie.

I got shizzle for days

And my swag is so tight…

Wait, what do you mean

I’m not saying it right?

I Hope I Never Have To Read This Poem Out Loud

For every book ever written

And every food ever bitten

There’s that one guy who is not admittin’

He doesn’t know how to pronounce the word “chitin”.

Aztec Millennials

Two cannibals awoke on Sunday

And went for brunch at a cafe.

One said “I’ve got a hunch

“That the real brunch

“Is the friends we’ll meet along the way.”

Why Even Numbers Are Boring

One is the loneliest number

And two can be as bad as one

Three is a crowd

Four is twice as bad as one

Five has no particular qualities

Six is three times as bad as one…
