Can I Be A Director Of Something Now?

Sometimes I look back and wonder

“Why didn’t I spend more time studying

“How to write mission statements?”

Then I assemble a committee to discuss

Whether retrospection is amenable

To well-ordered, politically-correct society:

Results pending.

Butt Why?

If you think your job is bad

I think I’ve got you bested:

Today I read on a rectal thermometer

“Each unit individually tested.”

Hue’d Never Guess…

Apparently, the color “peacoat”

Is sort of grayish-blackular

I would have thought it greenish

Given “pea” is in its vernacular,

Or perhaps a pale yellow

Would fit Peacoat’s pigmentation?

Alas, the color picker people

Lack an eight-year-old’s imagination!

Not What I wanted To Hear My Teenager Saying…

If I had a roll of nickels

For every driver’s-ed I didn’t learn

I could make bus drivers angry

‘Til the dinosaurs return…

Ode To A Color That Sounds Like A Grandma’s Name

Mauve is a version of pink

That prettier than you might think.

It sounds like beigey-blue

But that’s just not true.

It was named for the mallow flower

And possesses an old-fashioned power

To make people yawn and complain.

It’s like a happy cocktail stain.

Everyone Loves Being Notified Of The Ordinary Life Of Acquaintances

There once was a millennial parent

Who thought it completely apparent

That people online

Wanted to see their kids doing fine

But it turns out those people did caren’t.

I Bet Scissors Makes “The Rock” Their Spokesman

Sometimes life is sunny

And everything goes right;

Sometimes you’re the VP of Marketing

And decide to revamp Bud Light.

Compromise (A Child’s Tale)

Every good boy deserves a pony.

Every good girl deserves a fiddle,

But the parents “Eat your broccoli”

And called this crime “Meeting in the middle”.

A Very Heartfelt Easter Poem

Happy bunny day today

To those who hunt for eggs and pray

And also Lent is done so yay!

That’s all I’ve got, so go away.

Avatar, And The Poet Who Just Emerged From His Rock

There once was a billion-dollar movie

About some blue guys who were groovy.

I watched it tonight

And now I’ve seen the light

And I’m up to date with 2005. (Woohoo vee).
