They’re gone until Thanksgiving!

It’s the first day of

It’s the hap, happiest season:

Eleven months without carols.

That is my reason.

How Many Of Us?

Christmas day

Is almost past.

The next Christmas song

Could be the last.

Santa’s unpacked

His magic sleigh,

Yet the in-laws

Still won’t go away…

A Constipated Mind

‘Twas the night before Christmas

And things were amiss.

A poet was blocked up

And so he wrote this.

But you’ve all got presents

And family and junk,

So I hope you’ll forgive me

This holiday funk.

And if you lack junk,

Family, and gifts,

Let’s hope that next year

Your luck favorably shifts.

Chocolate and Jewelry: Done

‘Twas two days before Christmas

And off at the mall

Were all of the husbands

Who dropped the gift ball.

The Plastic Skeleton’s Other 11 Months

I am a man without skin.

There’s nothing to keep my guts in.

And yet somehow I lived on,

Quite at home on somebody’s lawn.

Then one day the world went black.

They put me in the basement and didn’t look back.

Now my place on the grass has a penguin instead.

There’s some deer on the roof and a weirdly-shaped sled.

But I know when the snow is gone,

When leaves fall on the golden lawn

I’ll be back to rule the night.

Until then, I’ll be alright.

Winter is Coming

Oh you’d better watch out.

You probably will die.

You slept with your sister,

Not gonna lie.

Game of Thrones is coming to town.

You’ve finished the season

And now you must wait.

Don’t lose your head…

Oops, too late.

Game of Thrones is coming to town.

The characters are creepy.

The show keeps you awake.

They’ll kill off eveyone you like,

So like Joffrey for all our sakes.

I Write From Experience

If you feel lonely,

Forgotten and blue,

Put a cat in your profile pic

And everyone loves you.

Men’s Studies

I want to understand people.

I want them to make sense,

But I don’t like psychology.

I took women’s studies classes.

I took men’s studies too,

But those ones they called “history.”

Mercy and Reason

I can understand the fear

Of Muslims, guns, and thugs.

I see we people punish

Those who sell illegal drugs.

Despite my understanding,

I can’t support the death penalty

Unless you spoil “The Force Awakens,”

In which case it’s fine with me.

Queen of Monsters

When walking up my driveway

A wolf accosted me.

It snarled, crouched and bared its teeth.

No rescue could I see.

Then all of a sudden

Completely out of nowhere

The wolf was killed and eaten

By a rampant grizzly bear.

The bear, though it had eaten

Was apparently hungry still,

But again I was rescued

When a dragon had its fill.

Now bears have mighty stomachs,

But a dragon can eat more.

I looked for my salvation

And indeed I heard a roar.

The dragon tried to fly away

But something greater still

Seized the dragon in its teeth

And proceeded with the kill.

Now alone with this new beast,

Godlike and full of hate

I thought “she’s home early,”

And said “Wow, have you lost weight?”
