Language: Olde vs. New

A missionary came to me

And my friend Javier

Asking “Do you accept Jesus

“As your Lord and Savior?”

Another missionary

Fulfilled his role

By asking “Do you want an extended warranty

“For your soul?”

Share This Poem With That Special Person

A hero, a villain, and an idiot

Were writing a poem together.

The hero said “I think we should

“Write of love to my girlfriend, Heather.”

The villain said, “I think instead

“We write about someone who died.”

Then they turned to you and said together:

“Why don’t you decide?”

Pasta My Prime

Tonight my inspiration is limited.

The scope of it is teeny,

So suffice it to say

I found out today

A wimpy Italian is a lingweeny.

Transparency Matters

A ghost arrived in the afterlife

Having committed suicide.

The other ghosts surrounded him. “Oh dear!

“Why did you end your life like that?“

The new ghost said “Communication!

“The truth is I just wanted to be clear.”

Next You’ll Tell Me Hot Sauce Bottles Breathe Fire…

Sometimes I wish

That I were a fish,

But then I think

“What if I sink?”

Just then my daughter

Said “Fish can breathe water.”

I said “You wish!

“Fish can just holds fish.”

Awaken, My Love, To A Secret Gift

As every day the sun has risen

Since the day all men were born

To signal coming of a new day

By the sunlight through the corn,

By the very first song of the birds

Hidden in a distant tree

So do I hope my eyes will settle

On you lying next to me,

And as the sun casts shadows over

All that lives beneath the light

I hope my mind is full of mem’ries

Of what happened through the night.

As heaven transforms from black to gold

And clouds shift from orange to cream

And your eyes flicker and welcome me

I know I’ve achieved my dream.

As you see my smile widen more

Than it would by normal grace

You see into my mind and demand

“What did you draw on my face?”

When The Man Upstairs Is Protecting You Against The Dangers Of Premarital Sex

I like to imagine that somewhere in Heaven

God is fighting a war

To defend me from many females who’d do any

Thing to show me how they adore

All that I am. Yes, God is that great

That he beats women off with a stick

So I can be alone, never answer my phone…

Yes, faith in the Lord does the trick.

Thanks College!

Upon one hazy evening

Beneath the colored leaves

A poet kneels softly

And in the silence grieves.

Upon seeing this visage

A bright young student stands,

Walks towards the poet’s place

And with a screech demands

“Did you really write a poem

“That describes the leaves as ‘colored?’

“I find that language offensive

“And conclude you are a dullard!”

The poet still kneels softly

Beneath the not-green leaves,

And now you understand human stupidity

Which is why the poet grieves.

Hirsute, But Not Her Suitable

There once was a man from St. Mary

Who’d be merry to marry Merry Mary.

Merry Mary, however,

Did forthrightly endeavor

Never ever to wed one so hairy.

IT Internships <3

Every day I help people with technical trouble,

Decked out in my polo and three-day neck stubble.

I cycle the power to show them I care

And write “Problem exists between keyboard and chair.”
