I Write While Sleepy On The Couch Before I Go To My Bed To Not Fall Asleep For Half An Hour

It’s bedtime again.

Tomorrow I go to work.

Life is Groundhog Day.

I Humbly Present…

Whoever decided “Present”

Should mean both “gift” and “now”

As well as “here” like “I am here”

And “here” like “take this cow”

Should be presented with a present

If they’re present in the present

‘Cause their presence in the past

Makes the present present as unpleasant.

Task Failed Successfully

They said I couldn’t write a poem

Without using the letter “E”.

They were right, and yet somehow

I’m happy as can be.

On occasion you may find

Satisfaction without complying.

Also, I don’t know how to cut out

My first stanza… not lying!

An Honorificabilitudinitatibus Love

I called her pulchritudinous.

She called me eellogofusciouhipoppokunurious.

Both of those are compliments

In case I made you curious.

English Empire? Hold My Beer…

We asked Canada to become a state

But they responded with only hate.

What was poor America to do

But extend the offer to Venezuela too?

Move Over, Tae Kwon

In the distant German mountains

The cloistered monks abide,

Perfectly fermenting

The hidden power that’s inside.

They slice a cabbage handily

With their German ninja blade,

Discovering through discipline

How real strength is made.

They drink not wine but vinegar

As they battle high and low,

The secret monk practitioners

Of the great art: Sauer Do.

I’ll Just Drop This Here…

So I got a job driving a forklift

At a barometer factory.

I’m not very good at it yet

So if a massive storm hits, that was me.

Wishing You A Fungus-Free New Year

I’m starting out the new year

By achieving my daily goals

Like writing my daily poetry

And avoiding benzimidazoles.

And yes, my new goals do include

Some oddly specific stuff

But that’s the sacrifice we make

Because rhyming is tough.

Errata for Yesterday’s Haiku

I have been informed

By the demons, and I quote,

“We’re busy elsewhere.”

D&D, 1980s Edition

Demon worshippers

Moulding children to their will

Using dice and math.
