Tuesday Night

Tuesday night at 10:05

She texted “are you up?”

Tuesday night at 10:16

I cleverly sent back “yup.”

Wednesday morning, 4:08

She wrote me back “me too.”

I heard she found a new “BF,”

And I honestly pity the foo’.

Good Advice From Video Games

Do you feel worthless,

Hateful and depressed?

Does even going to sleep

Make you feel stressed?

Do you ever think of ending

Your life, which turned out shoddy?

If you do, let someone know

So they can loot your body.

Playtime’s Over

Tiny white flakes

Fall past my window

Onto the sidewalk,

Each one unique,

Their lives so short.

Those kids got what they deserved

For early morning bed-jumping

With the window open.

Small Talk 1.0

If you want to agree with a stranger

Say “What a beautiful day.”

If you want to argue with a stranger

Say “I think both parties are okay.”

If you don’t feel like talking

Say “What’s that?” And run away.

(If you’re a woman in a bar

You can also say “I’m gay.”)

And if all else fails,

Dead’s a good thing to play.

Why Don’t Plants Move?

I used to know

Why plants didn’t move.

About it I used to sing,

But now I’m confused

Because chlorophyll

And chloroform aren’t the same thing.

Not The Adventurous Sort

If I could be any animal

For just a single day

I would be a human

‘Cause right now my life’s ok.

One Of Those Times

Brute strength can’t do everything.

Stamina has limits.

Despite how hard you try

Not every couplet rhymes.

You can lose your focus.

You can lose your mind.

Life might not gives you lemons,

And maybe not even limes.

Sometimes you write two stanzas

Before you realize

That you have no conclusion.

But you don’t want to erase.

Sometimes you write “you”

When referring to yourself.

Next time you write this poem

Instead use “what’s your face.”

NFL Commentary

How do you like those Animals?

They’ve got grit and size and speed.

Getting the ball from the QB’s hands

To the receiver’s what they need.

They’ve got guys who make a difference,

They’re just as strong as they seem,

And I think they’ll be successful

If they score more than the other team.

Donald Trump, Millennial

Don’t blame me for staying inside.

It isn’t an attempt to hide.

I’m not opposed to wind or sleet,

Nor do I have tired feet.

I’m not a hermit. I have friends

And ways of meeting all the ends.

I’m neither strange nor bizarre

If I’d rather not go to a bar.

I have my needs (I am a guy).

A wife would be great, but I’ve got Wi-Fi.

I don’t stay in ’cause I’m afraid

Of getting shot or not getting laid.

I stay inside because out there

People laugh about my hair.

Two Weeks To Go…

I expect Yoda’ve heard by know

About an awakening in the force.

I hope it doesn’t take after sand,

Getting everywhere, rough and coarse.

This film will be our only hope

No matter how you Luke at it

To see if a stormtrooper main character

Can manage to make a hit.

I’ll be Red 7 standing by,

Not getting forty winks

To see if JJ Abrams

Gets nicknamed JJ Binks.

And so, though there’s two weeks to go

This poet’s had mesa some funs.

Now this poem’s Finn-ished

And I’ll Leia’ff the puns.
