Supervillains In The Time Of Social Media

So no one pressed the button

And no one cut the wire

And the number of both tocks and ticks

Is growing ever higher

And I’ve haggled and I’ve cackled

And liked, shared, and commented

But my existential ticking threat

Has in no psyche cemented.

I’m once again tequesting

That you face a villainous choice:

Press the button or cut the wire.

Go on and raise your voice!

That’s all for now my puny foes

And future grimly-oppressed.

Now I’m off to my one-bedroom lair

To scheme and be despressed

This Is One Instance Where A Live Stream Would Be Helpful

Can I write a poem

In exactly ten hours?

I could were I not so aloof.

See, it would be brilliant

But I’m insufficiently resilient

To answer your query: “Where’s the proof?”

Circumstances Change… Viewpoints May Not

I’m out of the sticks now

And wifi is back.

Dear vegans: I’m sorry

For my former attack.

From henceforth I promise

To not mock you any more

Than I mock anyone else

Who says “Tofu? J’adore!”

“It happened.”

“Whoa!”

“What a thing!”

“I know.”

Not So Affluent…

For those of you who did read the poem

That I posted on this blog yesterday,

This sonnet should not cause surprise to them,

For my identity’s taken away.

Now bank accounts and credit cards belong

To Prince Harjinder from Nigeria.

To Lifelock I am singing this sad song.

It was a scam.  I’d no ideria.

Now my mortgage is foreclosed. Makes me sore

That people would do such a nasty thing.

But a Canadian pharmacist yore

Assures me I can get lots of free “bling.”

Disclaimer: I am not really this dumb,

But it makes for funny poems, ho hum!
