Innocence Dies First, Closely Followed By Spontaneity

Being an adult

Means you schedule things like sex

And video games

I Write While Sleepy On The Couch Before I Go To My Bed To Not Fall Asleep For Half An Hour

It’s bedtime again.

Tomorrow I go to work.

Life is Groundhog Day.

Wishing You A Fungus-Free New Year

I’m starting out the new year

By achieving my daily goals

Like writing my daily poetry

And avoiding benzimidazoles.

And yes, my new goals do include

Some oddly specific stuff

But that’s the sacrifice we make

Because rhyming is tough.

The Daily Mistake

Every day I write some rhymes

But in these most uncertain times

I find some days I have forgot:

I meant to write, but I did not.

Yesterday was an instance such

Where my discipline did lose its touch.

But now I’m back! Fear not my friend!

These cringeworthy verses have yet to end!

Modern Detox

If you’re in need of a business idea

I have a suggestion for you:

An apartment complex for people who want

To live like 1992.

The rent will be $500 a month

And the internet’s 10 sites or so,

Your neighbors are friendly, their kids play outside,

And Roseanne’s your favorite show.

A black Friday toaster is 25 cents

And so is a Big Mac with fries

And you can get Cracker Jack from Cracker Barrel

And it comes with an actual prize!

Phones have a wire, movies are physical

And they need to be rewound.

Nostalgia is hot. Spending money is not.

Does not this idea seem sound?

No One Ever Got Hurt Falling From Rock Bottom

You can’t assault the willing

Or rob the destitute.

You cannot kill the corpses

Or silence the already mute.

You can’t raze the fallen

Nor an existing travesty botch

So if you feel targeted

Maybe take it down a notch.

Saves Us Several Weeks Of Suffering In January, I Guess

The Rams faced off with the Seahawks

Who forgot how to lace up their Reeboks.

The hawks made four kicks

Betwtixt their four picks

And now they’re not Super Bowl 60 locks.

Gift Cards

Happy Birthday dude!

Here’s cash you can only spend

Somewhere you don’t go.

You’re Used To It By Now

5:00 AM alarm

Set for wake up tomorrow

Thus, it’s haiku night!

Read That Last Word With Four Syllables To Make Me Seem Smarter

When you are a poetic bard

Having a social life is hard

Because you may be out at night

But need to do a daily write.

Hypothetical as this may sound

This is where I, this night, am found.

When you read other brief poems by me

Know that I’m healthy socially.
