Hauling You

I said your boyfriend’s got

A hell of an ass.

You said he’s an amputee.

I said I meant

The ass on his arm.

Now you aren’t friends with me.

Missing My Step, Son

I’m just walking,

Nothing special going on,

When I realize suddenly

That you’re absent, gone.

My sudden epiphany

Hits me right in the spine,

So I said “watch out for the drop”

To the next guy in line.

Am I A Monster?

I was brave. I came out of the closet

And they said “you’re a monster” to my face.

I entered a world that didn’t love me

Or those of my type, creed, or race.

I expected a celebration

But all I earned was hatred instead

So that’s why you’ll find me this evening

Just hiding under your bed.

Dating an Introvert

When you ask me if I’d like

To come inside and have a drink

I must admit I am unsure of

Just what I’m supposed to think.

For if you wish to offer me

Some decaf, juice, or tea

And chat a while and then retire

That sounds alright to me.

If you’re friendly invitation

Is an amorous innuendo

I’ll be flattered. Nonetheless

I’ll respectfully decline though.

And when, to the inviter,

These truths I clearly state

I get to home home early

And needn’t have a second date.
