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.

Energizer Bunnies

You ever seen one of those

Human-sized dolls

For guys who want lovin’

But don’t have the balls?

I really hope they’re electric.

That’s what I’ve concluded,

‘Cause what other double-D’s

Are “batteries not included?”

Crooks and Homophones

We were robbing a grocer.

I said “buy me some time.”

He went to the spices,

Then the express checkout line.

We landed in prison.

Our plans came unfurled.

Now all we’ve got left

Is all the thyme in the world.

Sweet Tea

I met a girl the other day.

She was such a teas.

I was lost in the swing of her rose hips

And the bend of her chai knees.
She was sweet as a strawberry zinger.

Her hair was as black as Earl Grey.

She raised one lump or two in my heart

And she steeped in my thoughts all day.
And tonight I will drink in her presence

And maybe protect her from thieves.

If all goes well, we’ll have English Breakfast.

I read it in the leaves.

Traffic Jam

I put some rubber on my toast

Along with smog and frustration,

Mixed with a soupsant

Of despair and irritation.

It wasn’t a great breakfast,

But I didn’t want to shirk,

So I had toast with traffic jam

On my way to work.

Pre-Presidential Career Advice

Math has strength in numbers,

Computer science has Intel.

Musicians can pull the strings,

And drama can as well.

But the nerdy occupation

That wins while hardly trying

Are the mattress beta-testers,

‘Cause, oh man, they’re good at lying.

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.”

One Big Misunderstanding

The big red button

Says “do not press,”

Which is why it’s wrinkly.

That Wasn’t Chicken

I wanted fried rice
At a very low price
Because I was poor and young.
What other excuse
Would I have for the use
Of a menu from “Meow Tse Tung.”

Made in China?

I took a trip to the great wall
On my quest to see it all.
I enjoyed myself a bit more than a little.
Stupid you might call it,
But I’m afraid I left my wallet
Somewhere between the ending and the middle.

To make up for such bad luck
I had to make a buck
To get back to my home, off in Regina.
That’s how the story goes:
To solve my money woes
I was forced to be a maid in China.
