Hue’d Never Guess…

Apparently, the color “peacoat”

Is sort of grayish-blackular

I would have thought it greenish

Given “pea” is in its vernacular,

Or perhaps a pale yellow

Would fit Peacoat’s pigmentation?

Alas, the color picker people

Lack an eight-year-old’s imagination!

Not What I wanted To Hear My Teenager Saying…

If I had a roll of nickels

For every driver’s-ed I didn’t learn

I could make bus drivers angry

‘Til the dinosaurs return…

Ode To A Color That Sounds Like A Grandma’s Name

Mauve is a version of pink

That prettier than you might think.

It sounds like beigey-blue

But that’s just not true.

It was named for the mallow flower

And possesses an old-fashioned power

To make people yawn and complain.

It’s like a happy cocktail stain.

Everyone Loves Being Notified Of The Ordinary Life Of Acquaintances

There once was a millennial parent

Who thought it completely apparent

That people online

Wanted to see their kids doing fine

But it turns out those people did caren’t.

Give Me The Change You Want To See

You know how when you want to watch

A YouTube video

And just when it gets to the good part

The talent starts to show

An ad for “Raid: Shadow Legends”

Or some other mobile game

And you just skip ahead because

You think the ad is lame?

Well, that’s basically the state

Of politics today:

Companies sponsor actors

And we look the other way.

So if you want to change the world

Don’t buy Pfizer or Walmart.

Instead, please spend your hard-earned cash

On poetry to start!

I Bet Scissors Makes “The Rock” Their Spokesman

Sometimes life is sunny

And everything goes right;

Sometimes you’re the VP of Marketing

And decide to revamp Bud Light.

Compromise (A Child’s Tale)

Every good boy deserves a pony.

Every good girl deserves a fiddle,

But the parents “Eat your broccoli”

And called this crime “Meeting in the middle”.

Finally Some Recognition!

‘Twas the day after Easter

And the kids were off school

Eating copious sugar

And emitting much drool

When a rabbit emerged

And said “Sorry I’m late!”

Then he hid eggs all over

And hopped over the gate.

The children tried chasing,

But bunnies are fast…

Then it dawned on a child

Who whispered at last

“If the bunny came here

“Today, who was that

“Who brought candy yesterday?”

Thus smiled the Easter Rat.

A Very Heartfelt Easter Poem

Happy bunny day today

To those who hunt for eggs and pray

And also Lent is done so yay!

That’s all I’ve got, so go away.

Avatar, And The Poet Who Just Emerged From His Rock

There once was a billion-dollar movie

About some blue guys who were groovy.

I watched it tonight

And now I’ve seen the light

And I’m up to date with 2005. (Woohoo vee).
