There once was a wizard of fire
Who was wont to displays of great ire
That involved fireballs
Amidst narrow walls
And this made his companions retire

Thanks, Darling!
My wife’s boobs are great.
She won’t tell me what to write;
I default to this

Evergreen
Evergreen tree beside the river
Where I swim when the Summer sun is high
Casting shadows o’er the picnic table
Filled with blessings just for her and I.
Evergreen tree upon the hilltop
While the red and golden leaves around you fall
Knowing snow will soon be heavy on your needles
Knowing heedless you’ll still be standing tall.
Evergreen tree in wildflowers
When sun returns to us in Spring
Dancing like a wisened older neighbor
To the song that little river starts to sing.
Evergreen tree sawed down for lumber
Not an end befitting of your glory
Until you become a bit of wall or table
A foundation of someone else’s story.
Will you watch that someone else throughout the seasons
And protect them from both the heat and chill
Like you watched the start of her and my united heart
Back when you were the guardian of that hill?

Spooky Discovers Fractions
I jumped out from behind a door
To startle a friend. They screamed
And said I scared them half to death.
My evil eye then gleamed
And I leapt out another time
To scare the other half away
But turns out they’re just 3/4 dead
And otherwise okay…

Bongos (And The Rest Is History)
“So I have this really crappy drum
That sounds like birds flying into a wall
And I’ve tried selling it to musicians
But no one is buying at all.”
“Have you tried sticking two drums together
And giving them a really dumb name?”
“Why, no. Do you think that will help
If they still sound incredibly lame?”

UK, Past and Future
Back in 1776
The British government
Oppressed its people oh so much
That they off seceding they went.
Now 250 years later
The British somehow find
New things to ban or punish,
Now including the human mind.
In another century or so
When Mars has human dwellers
We’ll see the Union Jack flying
And many space-suitless dwellers
Because the British government
Will long since have outlawed breathing
But the beating hearts and smiles
Will leave the Martian rulers seething.
Then millions of miles away in space
The British will finally see
That the time has come to pull the plug
And finally outlaw tea.

Dear Car Insurance:
When you have to advertise
Something that everybody buys
Perhaps it would be wise
To consider how the company lies?

To Repel or To Attract?
We go camping and spray our bodies
With chemicals to keep mosquitoes away,
But maybe instead of repelling them, we
Should hang photos of sexy mosquitoes, ok?
