In Retrospect, Childhood Had Its Perks

I have to go to bed soon

And wake up before quarter-to-noon

And then drive my car

And not get a gold star

And I can’t even watch a cartoon!

The Bar Is Low

As she slid the dollar bill

Between my boxers and my abs

I came to the conclusion

Grandma shouldn’t have opened a tab.

The Best Revenge Is A Fifth Grade Band Student

Blow ye trumpet!

Blow yer horn

From sunset ‘til

Tomorrow morn’.

Bugle brightly

As if in labor

For I’m out of town

And I hate my neighbors!

There May Also Be Breeding Involved…

There once was a digital horse

Who ran with electrical force.

It’s in my girlfriend’s phone

And now I’m alone

‘Cause she’s busy racing, of course!

A Boy Becomes A Man (Mouse Saga Pt. 2)

Snap crackle pop

Is the sound you hear

When you pour rice crispies

And have some fun.

Snap crackle pop

May also appear

When the mouse trap makes

Your husbandly duties done.

0.3 Ounces Of Pure Evil (Mouse Saga Pt. 1)

Little mouse

In our house

Upsetting my future spouse

Makes me decide

Mouse genocide

May very well be justified.

The Most Annoying Sound In The Universe

There once was a CO detector

That was meant to be a home protector.

It beeps loudly at night

Though the battery’s alright

So I hit it with an axe and wrecked ‘er!

Confessions of an Art Professor

Sure, his work was childish

And adequate at best…

Did I give too much homework

Or too difficult a test?

Perhaps I judged too harshly…

I didn’t know I’d cause a fuss

When I told my student, Adolf,

That he’d earned a big D+

Predicting the Future

The year was 2055

And Disney was somehow still alive.

Their greatest writer stood and said

“What if Black Panther was white instead?”

And coast to coast the people caved

As bloggers whined and critics raved

And I, at 60 years, just sat

Rewatching Shrek, and that was that.

For When You Like Basketball But You Like Watching White People Play It For Some Reason

March is the month where on TV

Are a bunch of teenage guys

Who compete to hold onto their balls

With other men of unusual size.

The best at making balls go swish

Will win. Others suffer sadness,

And that is why they call this event

By the appropriate name, March Madness.
