The Taste Of Home

For every sandwich ever made,

For every stand with lemonade,

For every pizza baked at home

In Tuscaloosa or in Rome,

For all the cream we ever whipped,

All the coffee ever sipped,

I dedicate this meal for you:

Gummy worm salad and “mystery” stew.

This Is Why Nobody Bought My Bond Script

Yesterday is faded;

Tomorrow will never come.

Both of these also apply

When I describe your mum.

I’m Like Mario, But Not As Famous Or Italian Or As Irrationally Compelled To Hit My Head On Boxes

Today my shower broke

And it sprayed everywhere.

The hose that moved the water

Had ripped a mighty tear

So I went to Home Depot

And bought a fixy thing

With a non-torn doohickey

And an intact rubber ring.

I screwed it on the spiggot

Where the water starts to pour

But with the new doohickey

The flow’s not limited anymore

And it makes an awesome shower,

Like emptying ten semi trucks

Full of water. One more reason

Why life in California sucks!

A True Hunter’s End

I was a monster hunter

In a past life, but alas

I was reincarnated

As a big-mouth billy bass

And instead of hunting demons,

Slaying dragons and the like

I sing “Take me to the river”

To a naked guy named “Spike.”

It wasn’t quite the future

I imagined when I fell.

I did not find Valhalla

But a special sort of Hell.

But in between my bursts of song

And bobbing of my head

I dream of where I’ll be reborn

When next I’m stricken dead…

Thursday Night Football

There once were some Illinois Bears

Who played the ex-redskins by O’hare.

They punted and punted

And punted and punted

And who the heck actually cares?

Art School Pays Off

Today I drew a cat.

Everyone said “Nice pig.”

They recognized it was an animal

Which, progress-wise, I think is big!

It Pairs Well With Ghoulash

There once were some zombies from Crete

Who hungered for sentient meat.

They sat and moaned “braaains”

‘Til a skeleton came

With some brains and said “Bone appetite.”

Boy Howdy… I Mean, Um, They Howdy?

There once was a child from Gestalt

Who thought mean words equaled assault.

Someone said “You are male.”

Now that sayer’s in jail

And I ponder who’s really at fault.

Green Power Meets Greek Power

A giant electric windmill met Sisyphus

And asked, “Do you like music, man?”

Sisyphus said, “Anything but rock and roll.”

The turbine said, “I’m a big metal fan.”

Never Ask Family For Poetic Inspiration After 9:00 P.M.

There once was box knife named “Cat Scratch”

And Brian May’s guitar named “Big Red”

And my mom said “Write about rhubarb”

And now I’m going to bed.
