Wait… Did The French Just Surrender To Tourists?

So the Louvre closed its doors today

Which is how Mona Lisa would say

“Je ne t’aime pas

“Alors au revoir.”

(And yes, those do rhyme by the way)

Challenge Accepted

And so I lounged on a borrowed couch

Devoid of inspiration

And instead of making the difficult choice

To use my imagination

I went onto my phone to search

The internet for an answer

And I recalled why random prompts

Are worse, perhaps, than cancer.

But undeterred, despite misgivings

I shall now attempt

To write what poetrypromptgenerator.com

Gave me without contempt:

There once was a sanctimonious hand-wringer

Whose neurotic pedantry gave a metaphorical finger

To those who deign to carouse

With those of osseous brows.

Some compare me to him as a visual dead ringer.

Pride Month Makes Saving Money Easier

So today I went out to eat

And a rainbow was on my receipt.

Inspired, I resolved

To not get involved

Buying anything ‘til I feel July’s heat.

Meaning? Maybe. Rhymes? Absolutely!

There once was a dame with no name

Who spent days playing a lame game.

Her tame claim to fame came

When her aim to blame the same game

Overcame her shame of being no-name.

The Hero’s Journey

There was a reluctant young hero

Whose number of close friends was zero.

An old mentor said “Hey,

“Want to come save the day?”

Kid agreed, and the whole world did cheer-o.

Good… You’re Finally Awake!

There once was a dragonborn chap

Who fell into an Imperial trap.

But in an odd twist

He was not on the list

And then down a dragon did flap…

Abs for the Sedentary

There once was a gym teacher, Hank

Who I for one think we should thank.

He said, “Movement is bad

“And it makes me sad”

And so he invented the plank.

He’s Exploring Alternate Channels…

There once was a man in DC

Who wrote bill A11-03.

Before it was codified

Its contents were modified

And now it’s illegal to pee.

Modern Audiences

I consider myself pretty smart

And I have an insight into art:

More people would read

Poetry if indeed

More poets would use the word “fart”

Everyone Has Something To Share

If your life is a dumpster fire

Don’t think about aiming higher

But find a cold alley

And watch how you rally

The hobos, who your heat admire.
