Notting Hill

There once was a good-looking chap

Who spilled juice on a movie star’s lap.

They would, then they wouldn’t,

They could but they couldn’t,

And, my goodness, their acting was crap.

The Introvert’s Decision

Go big or go home?

Suffice to say I am not

Fond of going big.

Location Is Everything

Shelly sells seashells at the seashore.

Nobody quite knows what she does this for.

No one buys the shells she sells, so I am pondering

If Shelly’s shells are a shell business for money laundering.

The First Packaging Scam

We complain about shrinkflation

Like half-empty bags of chips

Or getting a 15-ounce container

With just 12 ounces of dips

And yet for all my lifetime

We’ve still bought those honey bears

And you can’t squeeze honey through their neck

But no one really cares…

One under is a birdie.

An even score is par.

One over is a bogey.

What I got is a Zanzibar.

Body, toasty warm

Snuggled up with heavy eyes.

Bladder says, “What if…”

There Will Be Signs…

If I ever say

“Let’s play some Monopoly”

I’ve been body-snatched.
