Yellow teeth
And orange eyes
Shine like fire
Under the full moon.
I try to smile,
Tell some lies,
But all I can say is
“Hey honey. Back so soon?”
My lover plods forwards
With wolfish eyes fixed
On the little pink pocket
At the base of my neck.
I know what I must do.
My feelings aren’t mixed.
It’s her time of the month,
And out I must get the heck.

“Let’s hear your riddle,”
I told my dear one.
“It’s been around
Since year one.
“It’s got no spine,
No heart, No brain.
It’s loved in France,
But seldom Spain.”
What do you mean
It’s the letter Q?
I thought the answer
Was you!

I walk among
the snowy trees
Enveloped by
a chilling breeze.
I see a moose
among the arbors
And wonder what
secrets it harbors.
I brush my hand
against the branches
And remember a war
fought in the tranches.
The bullets flew,
The blood rained red
‘Til everyone but me
Was dead.
So I look at the moose
Who’ll never fight
A war he don’t
Believe is right.
I envy him,
The big dumb deer,
And I know I’ll live
My life out here,
Never alone
Among the trees.
I’ll always have
The memories.

The mountains stood
Like great cones of earth
Sticking up out of the ground
While little blue birds
Flew in circles above,
Around and around and around.
I walk on the trail
Between these great peaks
Place my feet where the ground is flat.
And the birds are so blue
Like sapphires on a crown,
Precious stones in a round metal hat.
As I sing to the breeze
Like the wind to the trees,
Moving air melodiously,
And I think of the woman
Who told me “Take a Hike.”
Didn’t know that she’ll show dis to me.
I did get a life
And next time I see ‘er
We’ll take a long walk together
Off a short pier.

Our love is like board walk
With a hotel.
It’s great if you have it,
But expensive as hell.
Our love is like park place.
It’s worth it to invest,
But we can’t help but feel
It’s only second best.
Our love happened purely by chance,
And I thought that was all for the best.
Then I heard about your four-house reputation
And your nickname, “Community Chest.”

What is a wedding
But an exchanging of rings
Between two willing people
Who are scared of different things?

Unlike you
And unlike me
I know no whales
Who like to ski.
So don’t be whalish.
Be open minded
And lots of fun
Is what you’ll have finded.

I heard a woman say
Just the other day
“Recognize me as an individual.”
So I’m recognizing her,
But you readers may be sure
See this post is not something
that have seen she will.
Maybe if I knew her name,
What made her separate
from the same
I could recognize her appropriately.
So if you want a shout out,
Just demonstrate your clout out,
Or my poem to you will end
Klersmoppriately.

Time’s new roman
Was a bold chap
Born in Rome
So I guess
He’s Italic.
He tried to fly,
But with no wings to flap
It was hard
To get Arial.
(Or phallic).
So he took up bowling
And his shoes were Size 12
He bowled strikes
And Strikethroughs.
Pins reset-ica.
And he once bowled a gutter,
And oh did he yell-ve.
He shouted “undo!”
And then
“What the Helvetica!”

“Long skinny tree,
Tell what you see
From your vantage point
Up in the sky.”
“Well short human man,
I’ll tell if I can,
But I’m afraid
I don’t have any eyes.”
“So you mean to say
That trees go all day
Without ever seeing
Your beautiful view?”
“Yes indeed, I am blind
Just like all of my kind.
But at least I am tall,
Unlike you.”
