Summer’s Vacation

It’s a windy Autumn day
In the middle of July.
The wind blows piles of amber leaves
And I have to wonder why.

Perhaps the weather’s wardrobe
Is being washed today
And it has to wear replacement seasons
While its Summer is away.

Perhaps it’s due to climate change
And too little CO2.
If we all drive and pollute more
It’ll be warm like it’s supposed to.

And perhaps it’s just the way it is
And we should enjoy the cool.
Take some time for hiking
That might’ve been for the pool.

It’s a windy Autumn day,
But not per se a bummer.
It all depends upon how much
You love or hate the Summer.

A Letter from My Cough

It’s not that I don’t want you
To ever go to sleep.
I’m just afraid that you’ll forget
About this post-nasal seep,

And so every now and then
I give your throat a tickle
And hope that while you’re coughing
You think about my mucus trickle.

When, like me, you’re just a symptom
It’s hard to find romance,
But when you crawled into your bed
I thought I’d take a chance.

Well, now you probably hate me
And I don’t blame you a bit.
Sorry it wasn’t good for you,
But I take what I can get.

Dog and Friends!

A dog should be your best friend.
A dog could be your pal.
Alas, it seems that most dogs
Are primitive and banal.

Then I looked at people
And all of my human friends
And I saw that they, like dogs
Have behavior that needs the mends.

Both parties are prone to eat to much,
And they both crave attention.
Both are oddly furry
And deserve a day’s detention.

So I suppose that friends and dogs
At times can be quite trite,
But I’d not give up on either,
For I love both with all my might.

Everything’s Better with “e”

I don’t like to caugh,
But I like coffee.
I don’t know what “toff” is
But I sure do like toffee.

I’m not thrilled by chewing,
But I like Han and Chewie,
And if you understand the above
I might just like you-ee.

Godzilla Retires

I bought a pet Godzilla
From my buddy down the street.
He’s a fire-breathing dinosaur,
Which I think is pretty neat.
He’s also quite the actor,
And he’s very, very sweet.
But he’s retired now,
And I call him Jumbo Pete.

I Once Had a Cow…

Udders and spots and bells and poo:
These are the things that remind me of you.
And whenever I miss your voice or your smile
I drink some milk and remember a while.

Thunder and Lightening: The Myth of Thor

The God of thunder
Sat in the dark
Drinking souls from an ancient cup.
Then his wife walked in
With a daylight bulb.
She was just lightening the whole place up.

So Mr. Thunder shut his door.
He was rubbed the wrong way.
He was rubbed downright Thor.

To My Favorite Technology

Pillowcase, pillowcase
You’ve served me for years.
You’ve covered my pillow
And captured my tears.

Pillowcase, pillowcase
You’ve tousled my hair
And prevented my pillow
From much wear and tear.

Pillowcase, pillowcase
On you I have laid.
My only question now
Is how were you made?

Medicine

I smoked an aspirin once
While I was riding on a train.
I saw iridescent rainbows
And a world devoid of pain.

Then I smoked Viagra,
And man was that a joy!
I grew just like Pinocchio.
I felt like a real boy.

Parenthood

The most important thing you do

As I parent I expect

Is naming your child in a good way,

So they will live a life that’s correct.

 

If your last name is “Handbasket,” don’t name your kid “Helena.”

If your last name is “Cummins,” don’t name your kid “Dick.”

If your last name is “Cox,” don’t name your kid “Maya.”

If your last name is “Shaw,” don’t name your kid “Rick.”

 

If you do these things, your child will be fine

As long as when your pregnant you don’t drink too much wine.
