Back To The Future XVII

Today is my birthday.

I’m seven days old.

From now on when they tell me

“Park the DeLorean”

I’ll do what I’m told.

Honestly This Is The Best Joke I Can Come Up With Tonight… So In That Sense The Poem Is Honest

I lied to you this evening

When I said that I was fine.

Truth is I feel rusty

Like I used WD-39.

Pilots vs. Hairdressers

Air show! Air show!

Lots of planes,

Tons of balls,

Questionable brains.

Hair show! Hair show!

Fewer planes,

Fewer balls,

The brain thing’s the same.

What Else Did I Get This PhD For?

What would you do

For a million dollars?

Some would sell their souls

Or become sales-callers.

Some would kill, some would cheat,

Some would steal, some would rage,

But I’ll just work 80 years

Earning minimum wage.

The Poem That Convinced 300 Million Americans Not To Eat Giraffes On A Regular Basis

I live, I laugh,

I breathe, I smile.

I’m a giraffe

And my name is Kyle.

You wouldn’t kill me

For my meat.

So thanks for that.

You’re real neat.

Important Decisions

I put as much thought

Into this rhyming verse

As Count Dracula put into

Choosing the model of his hearse.
