The Checkup

No matter how you dress it up

I don’t like peeing in a cup.

I find it reprehensible

That they won’t say how full is “full.”

And so I leave the W.C

With three quarters of a cup of pee.

And now, have mercy lord above!

Where’s he going with that glove?

Taking Comfort Where You Can

On a day like today

You’re looking for a sign

That despite the past disasters

Everything will be fine.

Well as I sat, considering

My poem for today

I saw a candy cane, uneaten.

That makes me think I’ll be okay.

Let’s Talk About Mastication

It’s time to talk about

The pleasures of the flesh,

And our senses, touch and taste,

Can again be young and fresh.

I speak about excitement.

I speak of stimulation.

I speak about, of course,

The joy of mastication:

To place a bit of vibrancy

Inside one’s hungry maw

And caress it with the vigor

Of a gyrating human jaw.

I salivate for thinking

Of this thrice-daily delight,

For I masticate at morning

As well as noon and night.

And if I feel the hunger

Of my eternal human needs

I may masticate between meals

By enjoying my nuts and seeds.

And when I feel so lonely

And companionship I want

I go to town and masticate

At my choice of restaraunt.

Such exploits I do recommend,

For they are part of the human condition.

For those who are offended,

Go find mastication’s definition.

Zeus

Thunder in my stomach

And fire in my eyes;

When Zeus sayeth “bite me”

Obedience is not wise.

Craigslist Roommate

It’s cool you cut your own hair,

That you’re into taxidermy,

But maybe do those both outside…

Could you do that for me?
And I know you love your tuba.

It is an amazing instrument,

But playing it at 3:00 AM

Makes me want to raise your rent.
I don’t mind extended family.

In fact, it’s great you are so close,

But eloping with your cousin

In my basement’s kinda gross.
I know I said no pets allowed,

And to that I will hold true,

But unless you leave my presence

I will sic the dogs on you.

What Would You Have Done?

My cat ate my fish,

Then my dog ate my cat,

Then my puma ate my dog

So I bought a pet gnat.

Fandoms

Frodo was a wizard

In a blue police box.

He keeps watch over Gotham

And wears “Game of Thrones” socks.

His nemesis was Gary Oak.

He aimed to misbehave.

If you understand this poem

Give a fellow fan a wave.

Yee hah and woo hoo!

You didn’t want a long poem,

Did you?

The Werewife

‘Twas a full moon

And the night-things were howling.

I was iff on my own

‘Cause my girlfriend was scowling.

She’s usually laid back, 

Accepting, and kind

But once every month

She goes out if her mind.

She nags and she whimpers.

She speaks only commands.

Her heart freezes over

And she speaks with her hands.

I’ve put the time on my calendar;

I am no fool.

When the werewife awakens

It’s time to leave and play pool.
