Ode To Retiring At 65

I got through a day that was difficult

Like climbing the face of a hill

By sacrificing the strength if my body

And exercising my will.

Long are the days that I labor

But worthy are arduous climbs,

Or so I thought ‘til I realized

I have to do this 11,000 more times…

Yeah, Like My Coworkers Read My Blog… 😂

There once was a poet at work

(I’m at lunch, so naught do I shirk).

I ate quickly so

I cranked out a po

Em. How’s that for a quirk?

Buck Shot, But Not Well

Sometimes when it’s peaceful

In the evening by the stream

I like to lie beside the bank

And oh-so-gently dream

That as the humans hunt the deer

The deer hunt us the same,

But humans never notice this

‘Cause deer have lousy aim.

And I, For One, Think It’s Great*

There once was a fascist ideal

That stirred up political zeal.

It showed only news

Which supported its views

Then mandated we see its appeal.

*They have my family… help!

Violets are blue,

Chocolate’s half price now

And I wonder… are you?

There once were some sheep from LA

And a tiger got in their way.

In most cases, the cat

Would go “chomp” and that’s that

But alas, that did not work today.

Disney and the Unintended Consequences of Fantasy

When I was a younger child

I couldn’t help but feel

That, in my life, dalmatians

Would be a significantly bigger deal.

The Sons Of Reuben Were All Prophets?

I think that Jesus didn’t have children

Because if he had children then

He’d make them sandwiches, but they’d complain

“Daaad… pastrami and rise again?”

—————————————————————

On the other hand, Moses was famous

For his sandwiches. That’s what I hear.

In fact, back in Egypt I heard he was voted

The Nigev desert’s manna the year.

This Poem Has An Unsatisfying Finish, Just Like GoFundMe

Today we gather to commemorate

A platform that we grew to hate,

Whose motto is “Give us a buck

“And we’ll distribute it to whoever the”

Boom! Soft In Seconds

She was a 10.

I was a male.

I thought it was love,

Then she said “I like kale.”
