Good Morning Moon

Originally composed in 2012, this epic poem spans the bridge between treatise and children’s poetry.  It reveals to us our own ephemeral lifestyle of insults, mindlessness, depression, old ladies whispering “hush,” and the African tourism industry  Now, published for the first time, this masterpiece of modern literature, no, the definition of the future of art, is made accessible to the general public.  Also, the emperor’s new wardrobe has arrived).

 

Good morning room,

Good morning moon.

Why are you up in the day

You stupid buffoon?

 

Good morning chairs

Good morning bears.

Good morning kittens

And the hairballs they spittin’s.

 

Good morning clocks

And good morning socks.

And green eggs and ham rocks

In a box with a fox.

 

Good morning comb

And good morning brush.

I feel like a nobody…

My heart turns to mush.

(And something about an old lady

Whispering “Hush.”)

 

Good bye stars

And good bye air.

I’m going on vacation to somewhere in Zaire.

 

You get it, right?

We All Know One Of These (Sort Of)

Broccoli, celery, artichokes, grapes,

Candy corn, hamburgers, cheeses and crepes.

Around eating these foods I do carefully traipse,

Because I am a picky eater.

 

Sour cream, margarine, butter, and gee.

These dairy products don’t taste good to me,

And when I see them I feel need to flee

Because I am a picky eater.

 

I only eat pizzas if cut in a square.

I never eat sausage or hosenfeffer.

My nutritionist’s angry, but I really don’t care

Because I am a picky eater.

 

However, there’s something I do like to eat.

You might find it creepy, but I think it’s a treat

To munch on my friends, their hands and their feet,

‘Cause I like to eat picky eaters.

Plato and Play-doh

Plato was a philosopher,

Play-doh is a goop.

Plato had a closet.

Play-doh  has a scoop.

 

Plato wrote and changed the world.

Play-doh isn’t alive.

But I would bet if play-doh wrote

Its writing would change lives.

 

You can contemplate deep writing

Or nom a chewy clot.

The only real difference is

Do you like fun or not?
