Like the full moon’s silhouette
In the cloudless morning sky
The baseball whispered through the air
And smacked me in the eye.
It’s not a good analogy
Nor a comfortable event
But it gets the basic point across
Of how the ballgame went.

The breaker of chains:
‘Twas he who guided
America’s reigns,
Who heralded vict’ry
And ended much strife
But couldn’t dodge a bullet
To save his life.

Justice
I think we all agree that it’s
A terrible fate to drown
But I still wish it on those
Who pass me then slow down.

Bumper Stickers:
It have noticed that
People honk for Jesus more
When I text my friends.

If you see a car with the hazard lights on
It’s probably my Grandma Ruth.
She’s not a very good driver
But she always tells the truth.

You Do It Too…
My pinky and ring-finger rise
And my upward palm is flat,
The universal symbol
Of “What the fuck was that?”

If the words of a total stranger
Can cause great offense to you
Then I have just one thing to say
And that is whoop-dee-doo.

I started a band where we’d play
Stuff other folks played first. OK?
Then I did discover
Such a band’s called a Cover,
And thus I named our band “Duvet.”

This year I wrote poems
In large quantities.
Next year I will do the same.
That’s why I don’t mind
That my poem this evening
Is a bit on the spectrum of lame.

He said he had a magic trick
That always would impress.
He told me to pick any card
So I picked his American Express.
