Because Sugar Comes In Many Colors

Today I learned something amazing…

The answer to a riddle:

Apparently there’s more than one

Flavor of Skittles!

Moral Ambiguity In The Marvel Culinary Universe

Honorable dessert, cake of courage,

Your frosting is noble, your filling is strong.

Honorable dessert, please answer me this:

Is wanting to eat you so wrong?

In The Distance, China Just Laughs

There once was an admiral poll

That asked “how to meet our recruiting goal”

Options one was “Raise pay”

Option two was “Be gay”

And the navy said “‘Kay queens, let’s roll”

I’d Take JarJar Binks At This Point

Obi-Wan Kenobi is our only hope

But will he run for president?

Another year of “nope”.

PG-All Ages

Sometimes the things you grew up with

Can make you feel good

Like riding bikes and Pokemon

And being misunderstood

But when you grow, perspectives change

And you see a world in pain

And it can’t be changed by touching base

Or building the best paper plane.

You see a world with real struggles

And problems with no answer

And you decide to try something

Like curing AIDS or cancer.

But as perspectives change, I think

Some problems would be solved

If more people bought a new five-speed

Or cared how monsters were evolved.

Growing up is nice and all

But never you forget

The world needs childish grownups too

For poetry and… stuff.

Another Night Of D&D

There once was a skeezy Paladin,

A sly assassin, a cheesy bard,

A moon priestess, an archer,

And they rolled the dice real hard.

They stopped a civil war of trolls

And saved a duke from bombs of magic

And they lived happily ever after

(Which is the opposite of tragic).

Island’ed On Another Pun

One time I went to Hawaii

And I let out a heavy sighii

‘Cause it’s very hot in paradise

And aloha temperature would be nice.

After A While, You Take What Puns You Can Get

There once was a plant from Japan

That had varicose veins and went snap. An

Evening I glanced it

And it unzipped my pants. It

Turns out it was a veinous fly trap.

A Blessing In Disguise?

If I had a nickel

For every time I’ve wanted a nickel

I’d have enough to buy

At least one delicious pickle.

If I had a dollar

For every time I’ve wanted a dollar

I’d be so buried in delicious pickles

No one would hear me holler.

Let’s Go Avs!

My girl said “[Name]

“You can watch the game.”

Now I’m watching men skate

And good poems can wait.
