Being 30

I voted today for the president.

Then with my civic duty complete

I played Mario Party with teenagers

And had waffles with whipped cream to eat.

Magic The Gathering

There once was a guy from Renton

Who got to work on inventin’

Some colorful cards

Full of dragons and bards

And now my bankroll is lamentin’

To All Of The Unsuccessful Influencers

If you ever feel like a failure

Know that someone made a living

From that video of Grandpa

Getting drunk that one Thanksgiving

But your video of falling

Off a bridge ain’t got no views…

So yeah, you fail at failing,

But isn’t that good news?

I Can Add “Princess Coach” To My Resumé Now

One of the benefits of being a poet

Is apparently you qualify

To go to a local high school

And coach (read “attempt to mollify”)

Some local pageant princesses

Who have to learn a speech

Because if you know English

You do not do; You teach!

Heck, Even C3PO Ended Up Shooting People…

Remember when the movies

Had awesome robot pals

Like R2, Gort, the Terminator,

Bender, Ultron, and Hal?

Remember how these robots

All were murderous piles of chrome?

And now I ask: why would you want

A robot in your home?

Running In The Family?

Would it be awful

If I ate a waffle

Instead of nutrition for dinner?

Not so, my lad!

No, a waffle ain’t bad

But you’ll have to work hard to get thinner.

Would it be ok

If I sat for a day

And watched TV and ate cheese?

Sure, sloth is fun

If you go for a run

To make sure you don’t get obese.

Thanks dad. You’re wise!

I guess me and the guys

Will eat waffles and cheese and relax,

Then we’ll go for a run

When the vegging is done

So our bellies don’t spill from our slacks!

Hey son, I see

Your weight starts with a three

And is neither four digits nor two.

Yeah dad, turns out

Running didn’t work out

But at least now I look more like you!

Knights May Be Scarce, But Fairies Are Thriving

You know how the female fantasy

Used to be being held in a tower

Until a brave prince came a calling,

Slayed a dragon, and exercised power?

Well, now the female fantasy

Is to be the brave dragon who can

And wondering why the princes won’t die

To save damsels who don’t need a man.

An Introverted Friend Indeed…

Motivation is a friend

Who sets an inspiring tone

And would be a mighty ally

If they’d just pick up their phone…

Labor Day

Happy Monday everyone!

Take a day off! Have some fun!

This is your chance to relax and be free

By sitting for hours and watching TV!

Chck/Kchck

My pronouns are just

The sound of a pump shotgun

Loading one more shell
