If At First You Don’t Succeed…

And Jesus told the apostles

“One of you will betray me”.

And the apostles looked at each other

And said in unison, “We disagree.”

And so Jesus kept on living

And everyone kept sinning freely

And God queued up yet another flood

While mumbling to himself, “Really…?”

My Sanctuary City Poem

Una vez hubo un copo de nieve cerca de ti.
Podrían ser homosexuales o judíos.
Envíales esta publicación
Como un asado sutil
Porque eso es lo que te pedí que hicieras.

The Whistleblower’s Poem

There once was a worker from Spain

Who manufactured a plane.

He said “This door’s for Boeing.

“Please don’t ask why it’s glowing.”

They said “Sure”, and then cut the cocaine.

No Respect (But So Far No Consequences…)

Far away, in the Land of Grent,

There was a forbidden shrine

Where the chosen champions meant

To make their mark and dine

Among the Gods, and so they spent

Their days praying to the divine.

My cat, however, just up and went

And peed in the holy wine.

Everything Has A Purpose

He was born a maggot

And he grew into a fly

Until my cat got hold of him

And then he had to die.

We celebrate his passing

With a vigorous fist bump

For he reminded us our fat cat

Can manage still to jump.

When You’re 29 And Your Brain Ain’t Like It Used To Be

Some like it hot.

Some like it cold.

Some start their poem with the same cliche two days in a row

Because hey, I’m tired and old.

How I Feel About Yoga

Some like it hot.

Some like it cold.

I just don’t like it

And I will not be sold.

You See Four Old Ladies Hogging The Tennis Court, But I See…

Four towers in the corners

Of eight-hundred and eighty square feet

Separated by a net

And a ray of Summer’s heat.

One let fly a bullet

And their counterpart stepped back,

Eyed the bouncing projectile,

Then gave a hearty thwack.

And so the ball of fire

Soared between the warriors four

Until finally to out of bounds

Their common goal did soar.

“A point for us!” The victors cried

As fell the reaper’s sickle

Upon the party who had lost

The game of ball and pickle…

Sunbathing? Sure…

I thought about the venus flytrap

And how cool are carnivorous plants.

Then I thought about the opposite

And how we might enhance

An animal that ate no meat

And was immobile and sat in the sun.

Turns out there’s an animal like that:

The “Californian”.

I Actually Wrote A French Poem Too, But If You’re Reading This You Probably Don’t Like That Kinda Thing

If I were born in France

I’d have had a harder childhood.

I’m a pretty nerdy dude

Which means it wouldn’t be too good

To be in school and hunted

Like hounds hunt a fox

Except I’m French, to I’d surrender

To all the athletic Jacques.
