Fourteen years ago today
I published my first rhyme
And here I am, much balder,
Still writing after all this time.
When I was young and spritely
I’d write some fourteen lines
But now, older and wiser,
I think that eight is fine.

When You Write Yourself An Anniversary Poem
Nine years ago, a bright young lad
With a twinkle in his eyes
Began a grand adventure
(Which, in hindsight, wasn’t wise),
His goal to publish poetry,
Of dubious merit at best
And to do so unfailingly
Without a day of rest.
More or less that happened,
And here we stand today,
With me patting myself on the back
And you mumbling “okaaaaay?”
Thank you for continuing
To read the swill I write.
Let jollity malinger…
And with that I say good night!

The 1,400th Travesty
Many, many years ago…
Five, to be exact,
The world became quite marginally
More worser. That’s a fact!
‘Cause many, many five years prior
To the day you read this crap
Was the day I quit my arson hobby
And downloaded the WordPress app.
Many days of wonder,
Days of beauty, truth, and vision
Never came to pass
Thanks to my poem-a-day decision,
So celebrate what could have been
Where it not for me,
And happy 1,400th post
Dear Daily Travesty!

Happy 3.6630137th Anniversary! (Give or Take)
Yesterday I got a badge
From my blog on WordPress here
That said “you’ve made 1,337 posts.”
Of that I’m glad to hear.
I wonder about the programmer
Who came up with that badge though.
Why 1,337 is so important…
Will we ever really know?
Sure, there is 1,000.
There is 2,000 too.
1,500, 999, or even 2,002.
But 1,337
Was the number this guy chose.
Well, thanks for sticking with me
And sharing moments just like those!
