Camelot, <60 Seconds Before This Poem Becomes Tomorrow's Poem

The table’s round.

The knights are young.

The swords are drawn

And the fu is kung.

The mists descend

Like falling water

While the king mourns

That no one has yet made “Welcome Back Kotter.”

As It Turns Out History Is Not My Strongest Subject – Thus The Extra “D”

You’ve heard of the musical “Hamilton”

But have you heard the talk

Of my upcoming X-rated sequel

All about John Handcock?

The Inverted Cockroach Speaks Out

I’m lying on the floor

Rocking back and forth

And sobbing

But no one stops

Or offers sympathy.

Racist A**holes.

Not For You And Me

Grew up in a place

Wouldn’t know

Where pronouns have no place

Or so said so.

Before call something

Might regret later

Know that shouldn’t

Be a hater.

Dietary Councilling

They called me an airhead,

A dumdum, a flake,

A limp blob of pudding

And, worse still, a snake.

I guess that it’s true –

One is as one eats.

I’ll back off on the reptiles,

But never the sweets.

A Big Discovery

Big picture,

Big cheese,

Big idea,

Big sneeze…

When on the word “big”

You get reflective

It seems to go in front of everything

As if it were an adjective.

You Probably Never Noticed This

A poem brief

Is sweet relief.

A poem long

Is but a song.

A poem medium

Has an inconsistent meter which makes it sound dumb.

Safety Tip

‘Twas three weeks since start of fall

And I heard a siren’s call

And, despite cries of protest,

Drove where the siren led.

Now I surely can attest

I was deserving of arrest.

Next time I hear a siren

I’ll pull over instead.

My New Motto

If at first you don’t succeed,

LOL! Sucks to be you!

If at first I don’t succeed,

You’re dreaming. I’m perfect. All this is true.

I’m Not Even Going To Apologize

Sometimes dogs are happy.

Sometimes dogs are sad.

You wanted a clever poem?

Well today, that’s just too bad.
