Green Power Meets Greek Power

A giant electric windmill met Sisyphus

And asked, “Do you like music, man?”

Sisyphus said, “Anything but rock and roll.”

The turbine said, “I’m a big metal fan.”

Never Ask Family For Poetic Inspiration After 9:00 P.M.

There once was box knife named “Cat Scratch”

And Brian May’s guitar named “Big Red”

And my mom said “Write about rhubarb”

And now I’m going to bed.

An Armed Society

I think traffic would be a lot better

If every drove tanks.

Sure, we’d get everywhere slower

But you bet we’d say “‘scuse me” and “thanks”.

Based On Actual Song Lyrics

Doowop, doowop.

Doowop bebop shadooby.

Wicky-wicky, chicka-chicka,

Doowoppa scooby dooby.

Boobop, baddop,

Badoppawop pizazz!

If you think this poem’s stupid

Then you REALLY must hate jazz.

When I Meet One, We Will Be Soulmates

All the little animals

Of land and sea and air

Sought to find a one true love,

Their one and only pair.

The birds and bees, the cats and dogs,

The frogs and toads were one;

The hare and tortoise, horse and fly

Paired up and all was done.

Alas, when pairing finished

The axolotl was alone

Because instead of socializing

It wrote poems on its phone.

SERIOUSLY?

‘Twas 31 days before Halloween

And all through the shops

Christmas music was playing…

Should I call the cops?

Love Y’all, Good Night

I wrote 92 haikus on Tuesday

That apparently nobody read.

If you’re unsatisfied with this poem

Go read some of that crap instead.

A Depends-able Workers

My boss said I’m incompetent

Because I visit the bathroom a lot.

Then I developed incontinence

And now visit that room I do not.

True Love, 2022

Upon the sofa down we sat,

Eating ice cream, happy, fat,

Eyes on the TV, wearing no pants:

This is my ideal of romance!

When You Need The Product To Use The Product

Today I bought a laser sword

That can cut through anything.

The only problem is that it’s in

The plastic Costco packaging…
