On porcelain throne.

A woman asking for advice

Is like a cat exposing its belly:

You can do what you think is nice

But it’s going to end up really yelly.

Guys, I learned something!

When you have plans for fun things

Cancelling feels bad.

Making The Most Of Modern Trends

Meet a girl who buys you chocolate,

Gets you flowers, buys dessert.

Just be aware that girls like that

May have once been your friend, Bert.

We Were Always At Least 51% Confident That We Were The Best…

The itsy-bitsy Seahawks

Flew up the water spout.

The one-yard line

Injected us with doubt.

Out came the sun

In San Francisco bay

And the itsy-bitsy Seahawks

Are champions today!

This poem is dedicated to Kenneth Walker III, the first running back in decades to win super bowl MVP.

Good things come when you run the ball.

Happy Valentine’s Day! (Buy My Book)

Aromatic plants

Cuddle with their families

Before reaping day.

Tiny baby rose

Has her petals scattered on

Your bedroom carpet.

When will peace return

And the wanton slaughter end?

Why not do your part?
