Welcome Home

I’m back from my vacation

And my entire body hurts.

My throat is sore, my feet are tired,

And my nose occasionally squirts.

My head is full of dizzies

And my toes are cold as ice

But the pictures on my cell phone

Look really, really nice!

The Little Things

You know when you’re eating the pasta

That’s shaped liked a little wheat shell

And they stick on your tongue while you eat them

And you feel like the whole world is well?

Or how ‘bout when you’re dehydrated

And your pee is all yellow and bright

And the pee-water gets kinda cloudy

And you flush and it all feels alright?

I like that just-popped-a-zit feeling

And that “earwax is washed away” calm.

It’s just me? That may be, but I’m hoping

You find your own commonplace balm.

The Zookeeper Writes An Honest Children’s Book

A is for Antelope, which isn’t a deer.

B is for Babirusa, which isn’t a pig.

C is for Capybara, an animal I hear

Was the largest of rodents ‘til your kid did appear.

D is for Dumbo Octopus, a name that fits you.

E is for Echidna, which I wish your wife said.

F is for Frigatebird, which sounds much akin

To what I wish to say unto you and your kin.

G is for Gerenuk, which is also not a deer.

H is for a place where you might disappear.

I am now leaving to go do my job

And I bid good day to you and your blob.

Plane And Simple

While early birds may get the worm

Another truth may make you squirm:

Early birds often get

Sucked into a jet

And thus, to sleep late, I affirm.

Am I Sexy And Dangerous Now?

Roses are red.

Vegans are pale.

When they read my blog in 10 years

They’ll probably put me in jail.

Shower Thoughts

What if we’re all identical twins

But, when we’re born, the nurse

Gets out an ultra-mega laser

And sets it to “reverse”

And our baby brain goes back in time

To when everyone was biologically unique

And we grow up thinking we’re special

Until the Invisible Ones start to speak?

*Depends* On Your Perspective

In kindergarten, there was a boy

Who said “You’re dumb and old

“And you’re bald and gross and poopy

“And you do whatever you’re told.”

I turned to face the parents

Whose expressions were most hesitant

And I proudly said, “We’re learning

“About how to describe the president!”

The Feminine Paradox

She said “I love ventriloquists.”

Her vagina said “That’s right!”

In my defense, she laughed at that

But I’m still on the couch tonight.

Soulmates

My wife is on the sofa

Running through the golden grass

Trying to catch an Eevee

Which is a real pain in the ass.

She’s been doing this for hours,

A frustrating type of zen

And I feel like she’s living out

My childhood again.

Two Types Of Heaven

I believe in a world without sin,

Where nobody’s mean and we all fit in,

A world without sorrow or famine or fear

But it doesn’t have cake, so I’m fine staying here.
