Sympathetic Villains

I want a government run by puppies.

If you want that as well

Let’s team up and kill six-billion folks

And make the world more swell.

21st Century Love

Learning CPR

To kiss choking folks for free

Still beats dating apps.

The Slow Learner

School is super awesome

‘Cause you get to go to class

And get yelled at by the teacher

‘Cause you’re super full of sass

And you get to ride a yellow bus

And eat mystery meat

In a gym full of 400 kids

And 800 smelly feet.

You get to learn a lot of stuff

Like math and reading books

And people whisper behind your back

And give you funny looks

And they legally can’t kick you out

If you try hard not to pass

And yes, I’m 48-years-old

And never late for class.

Kitty Says…

I brought them a gift.

It flew off and bit their kid.

I’m the goodest boy.

No Fire Breath Required

Soon the dragons will come returning

And watch our nations burn and fall

And say, “My goodness, look at them go!

“Guess they didn’t need us after all.”

Listening Is Hard

“What do you want for your birthday?”

So many have asked this of me,

Yet I still have zero doomsday devices

And seventy-two graphic tees…

Marriage Means Always Discovering New Things

Today I discovered

That farting into the air purifier

Makes the lights go red

And the fans go brrrrrrr.

Today my wife discovered

That she made a terrible mistake

By not saving her farts

Until she was closer to the air purifier.

How The Mighty Have Fallen

Remember when Pixar had a lamp

That hopped up and down on the “I”?

Now it just asks the “I” for its pronouns

Before movies that don’t make me cry.

“Signature Required… Eventually”

FedEx guy in California

Has a job that’s really tough:

He sits inside a warehouse

That contains my purchased stuff.

The tracking number tells him

It needs to ship today

But he’s busy playing Solitaire

So my stuff will have to stay.

Just Do Something!

I have started many a poem

Upon this empty screen

And deleted many an opening line

Never again to be seen,

Censored preemptively many a thought

And pitilessly pruned prose

And yet still end up with something like this,

Illustrating how much writing goes.
