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.

A New Perspective

I’ve started to think of ads

As memes from strangers’ dads

About brands I don’t know

And that makes me feel so

Much less like I’ve been punched in the ‘nads.
