My Marriage

She says “What?”

I say “Your butt.”

Then we both smile

And snuggle a while.

Writing With The End In Mind

There was a rude doctor

Who played a card game.

His deck featured ducks

And was pretty lame,

Almost as bad as

The Cowboys’ quarterback.

Yes, I can confirm

Dick doc’s duck deck’s like Dak.

The Season of Sugar Pills

I don’t like Halloween

But I like clinical trials.

Debating whether I got a placebo

Fills my life with smiles.

So in a manner of speaking

Spooky season is still real neat

Because thanks to modern medicine

You still ask “trick or treat?”

It’s A Pun… And A Haiku… And A Geography Joke… What Have I Become?

Whenever I meet

Patriotic Libyans

It’s a big green flag.

Great Ideas Are Never Appreciated In Their Time

If you’re on the corporate ladder

And you want to climb a rung

I suggest not being the guy

Who suggested the spelling of “Tongue”

Who Need Theology When You Have Temporal Paradoxes?

Nobody with a time machine killed Hitler

And nobody stopped the Spanish Inquisition

And single-player games require the internet

Which puts us in an interesting position:

Do we accept that no one will ever make

A machine that can travel back in time

Or do we think time travelers are stopping even worse stuff

And accept that maybe everything’s fine?

My Daily Contribution To Nonviolent Language

I think rehabilitated homeless people

Should be called “Ikean Americans”

Because they used to live in boxes

But now they’re all put together

Just sayin’

Games, Then And Now

Games Now

So each of you has a unique lord

That determines if you place your board

At the forest’s edge or river’s ford

Before you fight the endless hoard.

On your turn, you have three actions

To influence the seven factions

Through use of normal or dire impactions…

Oops! Here’s the glossary of contractions.

So, then, after the action phase

You choose which players fold or raise

And the loser of the wager pays

To choose which opponent the goblin slays.

Repeat like this for three more rounds

Until the hoard no longer abounds

At which point we imitate the sounds

Of the wyverns fleeing from the grounds.

The winner is the player who’s

Captured the most opponent’s clues

Without revealing their unique ruse

And after paying union dues.

Games Then

So you roll a pair of dice

And you move that many squares

And you pay each other money

Until no one really cares.

2054: After Gen Alpha Parents Decided That Names With Letters Are Racist…

A # walked into a bar

Where an ! and a & are.

They met up with $

And the bartender hollered

“We don’t tolerate that $&#! here.”
