My Inner Child Is Sitting Down, But All The Other Inner Children Are Standing Up And Moving

Sammeeches are yummiyums

And cheekens good in bellies

And I like grapes and appleswoss

And chocolate-caramellies.

I can eat twenty tootsie rollups

And an asparagoos stawck as well.

I’m a master of munching and yummiyums

But not twalking or nowing how to spell.

A Winter Drive Haiku

Twinkling blacktop ice

Gleams like diamonds. I turn right

But my car goes left.

Not A… Not B…

“Nazi” is a word we say

When people think a certain way

That is different from what we

Are told the world’s supposed to be.

“Hey Guys! What If We Hijack The Playoffs And Pretend It’s A Cool Innovation Instead Of A Paywall? I Bet Nobody Will Cancel Their Subscription The Day After.” -Some Peacock Exec, Probably

There once was a streaming station

Who aired a playoff game to the nation.

The broadcast was bad

And no one will be sad

If the ratings show as “Devastation.”

I Actually Don’t Know… I Just Write Too Many Eight Line Poems

We played D&D

For nine hours today

So my brain is quite fried

And I hope it’s okay

That this poem is brief,

Just seven lines long.

“Why not eight?” you ask?

Sometimes Leaning Into The Delusion Is The Best Antidote For Delusion

I think we should make the minimum wage

A million dollars an hour

So we could see the system collapse

And redefine the balance of power.

Word Choice Matters

Tonight my pipes were in trouble

Because they’d broken the law.

The cops spotted their getaway

And shouted “There! Haha”

And then the cops made a booboo

As they called to the pipes in the night:

They shouted “Freeze!” and now

There’s no water to shower tonight.

This Poem Was Written In Real Time…

The waitress took our order

With a smile on her face

And then apparently decided

To desert the human race.

More than half an hour later

We’ve killed a pitcher of beer.

Our senses are still present

Though the help has disappeared.

It’s midnight at the bar,

Then it’s one here at the grill.

Our belly’s good and empty

But our hope is holding still.

We’re waiting on our sandwich

And it’s 2025,

And the chef has just confirmed

That the waitress is alive.

My beard is grey, my hair is gone,

I drool and shift and snore…

Then the waitress comes out smiling

And she says “Five minutes more.”

Lycanthropyness (Other Spellings Acceptable)

I’m basically a werewolf

But instead of being transformy

When the full moon rises

I get very horny.

The other difference

Between a werewolf and my ways

Is that I’m also were-horny

The other 28 days.

When Your 12-Year-Old Tells A Dirty Joke

A missionary and his doggy

Went to town via 69th street.

This poem would be longer

But I don’t know grownup sheet.
