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…

Weirdness Is Genetic

This one takes sone explanation.

‘Twas late and I lacked imagination

So I asked “what to write? The words just won’t come!

My parents said “Karma or Fritos.”

Now you know where I get it from.

Petty Karma

I’ve never murdered anyone,
Nor been charged with any crime.
That’s not to say I’m innocent:
I jaywalk all the time.

I can’t help but wonder
If Karma will punish me.
Maybe I’ll be the victim of a victimless crime?
I guess we’ll just wait and see.

Bad Moon Rising

‘Twas a right cheery morning

Halfway through June

As I stretched and awakened

I did get mooned.

 

Before this I had thought that

The moon was round.

And those thoughts weren’t old hat:

It weighed ten pounds.

 

That there mooning was stressful.

What did I do?

I wrangled a gator, yes.

Then it I threw.

 

Gator sailed through the window

Bit off mooner’s arm. Uh,

What can this man say?

I fulfill mooner’s Karma.

 

Wouldn’t it be nice if real life worked this way?
