Preamble to a Night on the Couch

I’m not lying. I’m just saying

That you appear as if you’re weighing

More than your real weight suggests…

Ok, you do look fat in that dress.

Dark And Stormy Night

Samhain night, a downpour wild

Can’t douse the heart of Autumn’s child

Who dresses as their greatest fear

And walks the streets in merry cheer

Demanding sweets from passers by

Who look upon the youth and sigh

Recalling when they stood so small,

Another life, another Fall.

Sincerely, Guys

Event people nationwide

I humbly implore you:

If you have a craft fair

You should have a gun show too

So mom can get a crocheted scarf

And dad a .22

A 30-Something’s Review of Fortnite

In my day, our violent games

Were about shooting guys and taking names.

Now you skydive, camp, and swim

And randomly change from her to him,

Running from a big pink cloud

And avoiding things that are scary or loud.

When I was young, you daren’t mess up

But now I guess we get to dress up?

Endings Are Overrated. Candles, Not So Much.

Lights are flickering.

Dire rain and wind give me

An excuse to post…

Six Years Old And Already Screaming About Stuff That Doesn’t Matter

Today I taught a first-grade class

And of the 18 kids

Six were joys, six were invisible,

And six blew off their lids.

So one of three will be successful

And one in three will be cute

And one in three do nothing, but loudly

Which is just who the Feds will recruit.

We’ve Come A Long Way Since 867-5309

The upside of the “6-7” trend

Is that it may show the unheralded end

Of kids saying “420-69”

Which makes me feel better than fine.

We’re Living In A Fairy Tale

Once, there were some evil kings

Who did a lot of evil things.

As times go, it was not pleasant.

Unfortunately, that time’s the present.

Equity

Instead of arguing white vs. black,

Men vs. women, straights vs. gays,

Let’s just accept that we’re all kinda dumb

And move on with our kinda dumb days.
