Adventures in Undead Education

Little Dracula was a fool.

Little Dracula didn’t go to school.

His one weakness he could not surmount:

Little Dracula could not count.

K-5 Education

If you could just close your mouths

And let your feet be still

Your mind would find a sense of peace

And overflow with skill.

If you could keep your eyes on me

And your hands to yourself

You’d find your time so much more free

And your talent upper shelf.

If you could focus for a blink

And persevere a while

You’d all be smarter than you think

And make a teacher smile.

And yet as you deny these things

I’m please to end a day

When you can do a two-plus-two

And know that biting’s not ok.

I’m 95% Confident

If your job includes

Subatomic particles

You may be a nerd.

Endings Are Overrated. Candles, Not So Much.

Lights are flickering.

Dire rain and wind give me

An excuse to post…

We’ve Come A Long Way Since 867-5309

The upside of the “6-7” trend

Is that it may show the unheralded end

Of kids saying “420-69”

Which makes me feel better than fine.

No Change Is Good Change?

Thanks to a heroic protest

With an anti-monarchical request

I’m happy to say

That as of today

No kings have, our freedom, transgressed.

Comfort or Fitness: How Will You Help Me?

If you ask my pronouns

I’ll answer with a smile.

If you tell me yours

I’ll sprint at least a mile.

Sunday evening ends.

Glitch in time. It’s Saturday.

Yay, quantum physics!

We’re Living In A Fairy Tale

Once, there were some evil kings

Who did a lot of evil things.

As times go, it was not pleasant.

Unfortunately, that time’s the present.

Experiment Successful

Seven people liked my Checkers poem.

Five liked my poem about Chess.

Does this prove something about my readers?

Read the title, then hazard a guess.
