“Final Notice”

Mu magazine subscription

Six years ago did end,

And thus I am assured

I’ll never miss an issue again.

Dog Prison

When a dog is very, very bad…

Beyond the “cone of shame,”

…They travel to an island

Where everything smells the same.

Squirrels and deer and rabbits

Run freely on the grasses

While dogs are put in kennels

And can’t sniff each others’ asses.

Every night they take a bath

And get their toenails groomed.

Some dogs end up someone’s bitch.

Some dogs end up perfumed.

They serve a 12-month sentence

That feels like seven years.

Some dogs come in, well… intact,

But they come out as steers.

So don’t be a bad doggie

All covered in piercings and tats,

‘Cause what I forgot to mention is

The place is run by cats!

What I Worry About

Furtive glances;

Still no wi-fi.

Previous posts say

“1d, 2d, 3d, 3d, 5d…”

I hope four days ago

My scheduled poem posted.

Then I wonder:

Am I the only one who cares?

Then my little voice answers:

“Yes.”

Thanks little voice.

Giver and Reciever

Bouquet of flowers

Delivered to me.

No name on the card,

And no giver I see.

I’m but an inpatient

At the amnesiac’s ward.

Sending stuff to myself

Is it’s own reward.

I’m An Outdoorsy Type

Sitting in the park

Amidst green and verdant trees

Checking my Facebook.

From The Assistant Captain

I’m very proud if my teammate, Ted

Who always… ALWAYS… Gets out of bed.

You really proud of my teammate, Ben,

Who almosy always gets a few out of ten.

I’m really proud of my teammate Jon,

Who really has improved a ton.

But I’m noy proud of my teammate Rick.

Our MVP… What a dick!

The Jigsaw Puzzle

We found the corners.

We built the edge.

We stuck some ins to some outs,

Then we jumped off a ledge.

Prelude to a Full-Body Cast

There once was a girl that I knew

That I really wanted to do.

She said “I’m with someone.”

Of the guy, I made fun.

I didn’t know that guy was you.

As Seen On Youtube

Have you ever been walking,

Not thinking at all,

When you look up

And in love you fall?

I almost did

At 10:30 today,

Except that stupid pole

Got in the way.
