Chemistry

The “boom” at the end of the year

Was the doom of my teaching career.

Distractions

Distractions are a reality.

Of life, they’re an integral part.

You must always be careful

To finish what you

Make Of It What You Will

The dragon did think

It’d be cool to have ink

And so decided, “what the heck?”

The jungle cat, too,

Got a tattoo

Of a human on it’s neck.

The Obligatory Mom Poem (Love Ya Mom!)

My mom is great, amazing, fine,

Perfect and extraordinary.

I’m grateful to her for all she does

And not naming me “Norman Harry.”
My mom is splendid, glorious, good,

Supremely radiant and such.

She supports my rhyming habits,

Even if it’s a bit too much.
My mom is strong and good-looking

And her children are above average.

She’s a fixture of nature,

Like a coral reef or lava-ridge.
My mom’s terrific, pretty good,

And her favorite color is purple.

She’s cuter than a bumblebee

And sweeter than maple-surple.
There are so many adjectives

That my mother can be.

She changed the world a thousandfold

By giving birth to me.

The Rogue Turns 21

Murderous harlots,

Criminal trollops,

And other such vagrants

Gathereth here.

They bring you candles

And tall paper hats

To cherish your living

Another whole year.
They blow on noisemakers

And sing stupid songs,

Cut open your cake

With a cold-steel blade.

A few sacrifice

A goat in your honor.

Throughout it all

Your face remains staid.
As your friends dance

In your post-birthday haze

You lighten their purses

And head out the door.

You retire wealthy,

And don’t even mind

That your D&D group

Doesn’t like you no more.

Supply and Demand

No one ever paid to see

My possum, who played “dead.”

Now I have a dead possum

Who plays “alive” instead.

License Renewal Time

I legally changed my name

To hhdgicdtkifddhutee,

Just to screw with the guys

Working at the DMV.

Play To Your Strengths

I asked for honest feedback

On my good qualities.

I guess I should be prouder

Of my “unobtrusive sneeze.”

Revenge

Bird in the window,

Looking at me.

Windowsill avian,

What do you see?
Human inside,

Being looked at-

I just came to say,

“Say goodbye to your cat.”
