The Rat Slayer’s Lament

Tonight I was a mighty warrior

Slinging balls of fire,

Casting down the many foes

Both minionesque and dire.

I spewed death from every pore

And slayed the vermin foul,

But when I leave the tavern’s basement

I throw in the towel.

Bowling

Bowling balls are very hard

And also very round.

When they strike the bowling line

They make a smacky sound,

And when the balls crash into all

The pretty pear-shaped pins

The guy who threw the ball says “whee”

And everybody grins.

Bowling balls have lots of holes

To slide onto your fingers

And when the game is over with

The happy feeling lingers.

You have to wear some public shoes

But that’s okay, I guess.

Bowling’s basically like sex

But doesn’t make a mess!

I’ve Got Bread, Plenty Of Dough, I Bring Home The Bacon, And Yet…

I have a six pack

Of orange creamsicles.

I have 12 inches

Of beef jerky sticks.

I go all night

When I chew my dill pickles,

And somehow I can’t seem

To pick up the chicks…

If You’re Reading This Enthusiastically, You’re Missing The Point

Happy happy happy.

Joy joy joy.

Yippee yippee yippee.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy.

I can’t wait. I’m excited.

I’m overwhelmed with wow.

If you think exclamation marks are dumb

You do not think so now.

Seriously, When Was The Last Time You Went To The Movies And Enjoyed It?

Someone in Hollywood decided

“What if instead of crappy flicks

“We badly remade everything people love

“And when they complain, say that they’re dicks?”

Everyone outside Hollywood

Disliked this judgement call,

But on the bright side, now people

See that books aren’t that bad after all.

Why I Love The 4th of July, Middle School Boy Edition

If not for British taxes

And the redcoats being weenies

We might not have these fireworks

And Stars-and-Stripes bikinis,

So I for one am grateful

For wigs and wasted tea

‘Cause now there’s baseball, big buffets,

And other big things that start with “B”.

A New Nemesis Emerges…

A silver goose on a crystal lake

Locks eyes with me at dawn

And ‘neath the sunrise orange it spake

And pooped upon my lawn.

Silver goose, an anarchist

Would soon my rifle eat…

Though I aimed wide, I will not miss

When next our twain shall meet.

Autobiographical, And An Apology In Advance If I Miss Tomorrow’s Poem

Once again this poem went

To the wilds, and pitched him a tent.

The wifi was iffy

But present, so spiffy!

On that wifi this poem is sent.

Sonnet For A Washcloth

Textured washcloth in a pastel color,

I love how my skin you exfoliate.

You make my oily skin look so duller;

For your great glory, I extoll ye, mate!

When I am lonely and in a great need

Of very crude and masculine release

I need no manual to for to read

To help you bring me to a restful peace.

You cost so little, less than fifty cents

And you loyally last my whole life long;

Textured pastel washcloth, I ask you whence

Did you become so grand, forever strong?

You are more than just a cheap toiletry;

You, my washcloth, are the best part of me!

Peasant Questions and Engineering Mysteries

Somebody asked “Why don’t they make

“The whole plane out of the stuff

“That they use to make the black box

“That’s all indestructibly tough?”

I told him, “it’s the same reason why

“They don’t make medieval knight’s armor

“With the stuff they use to make chainmail bikinis.”

He’s confused, but hey! He’s just a farmer.
