The Obligatory Mom Poem (Love Ya Mom!)

My mom is great, amazing, fine,

Perfect and extraordinary.

I’m grateful to her for all she does

And not naming me “Norman Harry.”
My mom is splendid, glorious, good,

Supremely radiant and such.

She supports my rhyming habits,

Even if it’s a bit too much.
My mom is strong and good-looking

And her children are above average.

She’s a fixture of nature,

Like a coral reef or lava-ridge.
My mom’s terrific, pretty good,

And her favorite color is purple.

She’s cuter than a bumblebee

And sweeter than maple-surple.
There are so many adjectives

That my mother can be.

She changed the world a thousandfold

By giving birth to me.

Nailed It!

If you miss a manicure

You may mot feel remorse.

But then, just you imagine

You were riding on a horse.

You granbed the reins and kicked your heels,

But the horse, it gave a buck

‘Cause it knew your nails were bland.

Yeah, that would kinda suck.

Squeaking By

My financial situation

Is eating this rodent whole.

They told me I should “gopher broke.”

Alas, I’m just a mole.

It Shone in the Far Window

Moon light, moon bright,

Only moon I’ll see tonight…

Then my neighbor proved me wrong,

And I had to sing a different song.

Garb-led Thoughts

I wonder if pants are perverts,

Delighted by their jobs,

Or whether some are picky

And are nether-region snobs.

And how do skirts and dresses

Differ from their legged kinds?

I imagine they are similar,

But with much more open minds.

And what of kilts and leggings?

Of loincloths and codpieces?

What difference is the length and style

Of those modesty-guarding fleeces?

Perhaps I’ll never know the musings

Of my lower body clothing.

I just hope their destiny

Is something they aren’t loathing.

…or something

This poem: you might find

Reading it is kinda tough

Because it touches on

Things like vaguery and stuff.

Impossible Yoga

Breathe in, breathe out.
Put your lips in a pout.

Breathe out, breathe in.
Extend all your skin.

Inhale, exhale.
Stretch each fingernail.

Air above, air beneath.
Bite your lower teeth.

Breath out, breathe in.
Stare up at your chin.

Take in the air.
Flex all of your hair.

Count sideways from ten,
And do it again.

Weaknesses

Superman has kryptonite.
Spiderman has tiny knives.
Batman has gravity
And Cat-woman’s nine lives.

Wolverine has bad-hair-days.
Underdog has Polly.
Godzilla has the human race,
And “The Beav” has Wally.

Chubby folks have ice cream.
Skinny folks have breezes.
Rats have humans, dogs, cats,
Birds, and poison cheeses.

Chapter books have fragile spines
And test-takers have zeroes.
The theme of this poem, apparently,
Knows just five superheroes.

Autobiography

Somebody somewhere
Has a song in their head
As they write a short poem
From the lukewarmth of their bed.

Linguistically Correct

I went to the movies
With a hefty bag
Of detritus, garbage, and junk

Because you told me
To take out the trash.
This was the date up which I thunk.
