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.

The Lightbulb Gets An Idea

How many does it take to change me

The humans like to ask

To amuse themselves at my expense

While in my light they bask.

They love me not for what I am

But only what I do

And so I ask: Need I be changed

Or should the change be you?

Seahawks Fans Right Now

There once was a team called the Bears

Who thrust my clan into despairs.

They sucked at a sport,

But so do my cohort

So at the end of the day, who cares?

Ski Weekends

We’ve got our boots and fresh white snow.

We’re in the car and off we go!

We’re gonna ski until the sun

Is dark, we’re cold, and then we’re done.

We’re going to slide across the ice

First left, then right, a swish, a slice,

Until we say “I’ve got this, ace!”

That’s when we’ll fall right on our face.

We’re wet and weak, our feet are sore.

We cannot ski a minute more.

We’re in the car, a happy mess

And that’s how we define success.

“Daily” Travesty… That Was A Joke

I am in a cabin

Eating French fries with my wife.

Poetry is great and all

But then again so is my life.

White People Be Rappin’ Like

If I had a hippo

You wouldn’t gimme no lip, yo.

But I’ve got an elephant

And you’re just like “omg, can’t.”

So I just bought a rat,

So have fun with that

As I pull out my gator

And say “see ya later.”

If I Transcribed My Entire Thought Process While Writing Jokes Instead Of Just The Finished Product

There once was a suburban dad

Who was a most serious lad.

He never told jokes

To his kids or his folks

And because of that they all were sad.

Now that you feel sufficiently guilty…

What did the dog say to the octopus?

I like bones.

Get it? ‘Cause he’s a dog?

Laugh, or I’ll read you the limerick again…

Marketing, Travesty Style

I’m writing another book

For Valentine’s Day this year

But I also hate advertising

So yeah… I was never here.

High Resolutions

New year, new you?

You do that too?

So that makes two

Of us. Who knew!

New year, new me

Is how I see

My future will be

Until January 3.

Then new year’s old

Or so I’m told

So I’ll put on hold

My plans so bold.

Is This My Moana Lisa?

In halcyon hours, my maiden and me

Become one with each other until

Through effort and grace we lie face to face

As nature concludeth its will.

Then I am afflicted with such a condition

Where my brain is in tune with my bowels

And for hours after I know only laughter

And I can speak only in vowels.

Or to put it another way…

Iayohouyaieae

Eoeoeieaoeui

Oueoaaeeieaeoae

Aaueoueii.

EIaaieiuaoiio

Weeyaiiiueiyowe

AohouaeIooyaue

AIaeaoyiowe.
