Time And Suffering

Today we got to experience twice

The hour of 1:00 AM.

As hours go, it was very nice

And my sleep was remarkably REM.

Tomorrow I get to experience once

The hour of butt-crack-of-dawn

So I sign off this poem with the word “dunce”

And a working man’s 8:00 PM yawn.

“Hey girl”, I texted.

“What’s up?” She replied.

Then I flashed back to the first three minutes of Pixar’s masterpiece, “Up”

And inevitably cried.

What New Devilry Is This?

Somewhere down in baby hell

Are Lucifer and Baphomet,

Asmodeus, Apollyon,

Satan, and Adramalech

All laughing at demonic stuff

But here’s the evil rub:

There’s a new kid in the devil school.

His name’s Beelzebub.

His family comes from South Missouri

And his dad’s name was Cletus

And he’d been groomed for devilhood

Since he was a fetus.

The devils might have picked on him

‘Til he was a broken husk

But then a savior came along:

A baby devil named by Elon Musk.

Tomorrow I’ll Have Brain Cells To Use… Maybe

Today I drove a long, long way.

Tomorrow I got to the dentist.

That’s why this poem is short,

As if written by the poet’s apprentice.

Because “You’re Beautiful Just The Way You Are, And The Right Man Will Love You Forever” Is A Bigoted, Misogynist Message

Pixie dust and fairy farts,

Princess hair and fey Walmarts:

Some came from a movie I loved as a kid.

The others are movies that Disney just did.

Relationship Advice

If you want to impress a woman

Ask “Will you be my girlfrien?”

She’ll say no, because you forgot the “d”.

Then you grin at her

And say “You’ll get the ‘d’ later”

Then you can say “thank you” to me.

Versatility 101

“There’s no such thing as magic”

Is what the stranger said,

So I dropped the pulsing rainbow orb

And hit him with a pan instead.

Halloween Eve And Christmas Eve Are Not The Same

Tomorrow we’ll dress up

And take candy from strangers

Then listen to music

About Santa and mangers

But tonight we’ll eat ice cream

And go to Ikea

And buy toilet paper

For Tuesday’s diarrhea.

Sometimes Inspiration Doesn’t Help

There once was a writer’s-blocked poet

Who needed to write but didn’t want to blow it.

He Googled “poetry prompt generator”

And five minutes later

Took a photo of the prompt, and here he will show it:

Really, internet? Really?

Pixar Lamp Has A New Rival

By chance a man died at a hardware store.

He dropped hundreds of lamps all over the floor.

Detectives had no idea how he ended up dead

But then a light bulb popped over their head!
