I Just Want Some Subtlety!

It’s 3.14159!

What a day! Oh, isn’t it fine!

I’m all for Pi, but in this case

I’d like my Pi less “in your face.”

Good Riddance

Let the record show

I really didn’t know

That an iceberg could do damage

Like that iceberg did.

Don’t think I didn’t care

That a floating bit was there,

Begging for some rammage

With nine-tenths of its body hid.

Let the record indicate

That good-old-me, the captain’s mate,

Gave warning to the skipper,

But he did merely scoff.

Then the captain broke the ship

And so he went out for a dip.

He was a lousy tipper,

So in the end, we’re better off.

A Weekend Outing

We run through the park

Away from the light.

It’s awfully dark

To be flying a kite,

But vampires have to

Find creative means

To be a good parent

To their vampire teens.

It Shone in the Far Window

Moon light, moon bright,

Only moon I’ll see tonight…

Then my neighbor proved me wrong,

And I had to sing a different song.

Cards Against Humanity

I’m asked to finish up a phrase

In this black-boxed party craze,

But I find it’s rather hard to do.

For these cards here in my hand:

In other games, they would be banned

And I don’t know what half of them are. Do you?

Were I A Tiger

Were I a tiger in a cage

I think I would be filled with rage,

And when the humans gave me food

I’d return it, halfway chewed.

The human doctors would have a hunch

Why I refused to eat my lunch,

And they would come inside my pen,

And I’d enjoy the meat of men.

Were I a tiger, I’d be happy, yet

I’m not a tiger; I’m a vet.

Daylight Savings

Weekends go too fast.

This one has one hour less.

Karma, I suppose.

Natural Selection

The eagle sat at the tiptop

Of a cedar tree, casually preening.

The raptor had no conception

Of how the awkward arbor was leaning.

The tree had spent many hours

Under the whip of the weather.

It gave in that day, but the eagle did stay,

Saying silently “just one more feather.”

That eagle dropped seventeen stories

Without even the thought to take wing,

So focused on ridding his feathers

Of that one ugly, hard-to-reach thing.

Thus died the last beautiful eagle

And the fashionable avian gene.

That’s why eagles today are so ugly,

And really don’t like to be seen.

Garb-led Thoughts

I wonder if pants are perverts,

Delighted by their jobs,

Or whether some are picky

And are nether-region snobs.

And how do skirts and dresses

Differ from their legged kinds?

I imagine they are similar,

But with much more open minds.

And what of kilts and leggings?

Of loincloths and codpieces?

What difference is the length and style

Of those modesty-guarding fleeces?

Perhaps I’ll never know the musings

Of my lower body clothing.

I just hope their destiny

Is something they aren’t loathing.

My Special Someone

I love the warm feeling

When I am inside you.

I knew it the moment

That I first tried you.

You comfort my body

And clear out my head,

But now I must leave you.

I’m sorry, my bed.
