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.”

The Bright Side

It’s 4:00 AM and sunny.
The birds are singing,

Dogs are howling,

Flies are buzzing,

Cats are meowling,
Horns are honking,

Kids are screaming.

Luckily, I’m deaf,

And Happily dreaming.

Keywords

I’m trying to attract more visitors

To this little blog o’ mine,

And, as you’d say to a stranger,

“Everything’s going fine.”
That said, with all the interest

On riots and anarchy,

I thought I’d write a poem

For those in national security.
Bomb, plastic explosives,

Terrorism, June.

Do not fly to Baltimore.

Tomorrow night at noon.
[Unintelligible string of letters].

Shoe bombs and bomb swallowers.

That should give me some new views

(And maybe a few new followers).

When You’ve Got It…

I took a waterskiing lesson,

And I don’t want to gloat,

But they said I had a gift

For being dragged behind a boat.

It’s A Drum Solo, Right?

Mayday! Mayday!

The ships going down!

We suspect foul play,

Or some “boom-chicka-wow-wown.”
Ship going down,

This is island command.

We’re all on our lunch,

So we can’t lend a hand.
Island command,

We’re now sunk in the cape.

I hope we don’t lose

The “boom-chicka” we taped.
Sinking explorer,

We copy again.

We’re sending a team.

They’ll be there in ten.

Fortune-Cooker In Training

I crack the fortune cookie

And read read the wisdom within.

“Today, be careful of breaking things.”

Cookie talent must be wearing thin.
