Haiku for my Sister-In-Law

I have zero friends

Because other people suck

And I’m funnier

When You Think Of A Tongue Twister, But Have To Justify It With Some Kind Of Narrative ‘Cause You Write A Poetry Blog, Not A Tongue-Twister Channel

I remember being baffled

When I was a little tyke

Because the little axolotls

Looked an awful lot alike

And the axolotl likeness

Made me trip over my tongue;

“A lot of little axolotls look a lot alike”

Is hard to say when you are young.

Jazz

I’ve got a great idea

For a really catchy song.

We’ll play the tune for the first minute

But it’s eleven minutes long

So the rest of it will be me

Playing a random sexy lick

Until you forget that you were listening…

Yeah, that’ll do the trick!

Frodo’s Notes In The Margin

“Bring the ring to Mordor, kid”

Gandalf told me and so I did.

It caused me scars that forever linger,

Mostly that I can’t give Gandalf the finger.

How Little Things Change

In the days when Jesus walked the Earth

Many people had names

More akin to Shaniqua and Carston

Than Luke, Mary, Joseph, or James.

Those people lived lives that were normal and happy

But long since forgotten to time;

No one wrote a hymn for Shaniqua

Because it was too hard to rhyme.

Or Did The Fact They Never Heated Up Mean The Prophecy Came True After All?

Somebody said to the NFL

“You gotta cool your jets”.

Alas, the Jets were never cool

Not unlike marionettes.

Harry Potter And The One Minute Of Missing Footage

Christmas at Hogwarts, 1997:

Harry Potter is in heaven

Opening gifts from his first ever friends

And hoping this day never ends

When off to the side he notices one

Nondescript little package and opens it. Fun!

Inside is a cloak made of magical paper

For invisible movement during a caper.

“How does it work?” Harry asked. Ron, compliant,

Said, “It’s made from the list of all Epstein’s clients.”

Then Harry nodded, his heart feeling zen,

And Professor Quirrel was never seen again.

Who Needs AI When You Have A Wife?

No AC?

Just live under a tree.

It’s cool as can be.

Just wait and see!

My Little Fountain

I have a fountain in my yard.

It doesn’t fountain very hard,

Just drips and drips onto a spot

And fills my hose when the weather’s hot.

Some may say that it’s a tap

But I think that’s a load of crap.

If soda and drinking fountains count

Then mine’s a fountain too by my account.

I’m proud of my little drippy fountain.

For it I’d move many a mountain

For when I’m a sweaty yard-working man

I drink from it just ‘cause I can.

Super secret base.

Red alert! It’s Mom and Dad

Taking pillows back…
