Innocence Dies First, Closely Followed By Spontaneity

Being an adult

Means you schedule things like sex

And video games

Crossover Opportunity?

Have you ever had a character

In your favorite game or show

That you either would like to be

Or wish would forever go?

Well now you can fulfill your dream

Thanks to Fortnite! It’s a game

Where every IP of all time

Gets shot in the face the same.

Sign on and join a universe

Of people 13+

Who unironically use terms

Like “Sigma”, “Bussin”, and “Sus”.

There you can play any game

While dressed as anyone

And after your kid tells you how to play

You might even have fun!

Only one can win each round

Out of a hundred players

But if you’re bad, don’t be so sad!

Play again and avoid your slayers.

Claim victory or somehow blow it

Until you see someone

Dressed as a certain terrible poet

Chasing you with a gun.

Glad I Minored In Minion Studies

I want to be a comic sidekick

Who is dorky but also inspiring.

I’ve no fears, I jerk tears, and bring laughter

But nobody seems to be hiring.

At least I can bring home some bacon

And dress in ridiculous ways

Right here at Volcanic Hideaways Inc.

Until evil brings about better days.

I Write While Sleepy On The Couch Before I Go To My Bed To Not Fall Asleep For Half An Hour

It’s bedtime again.

Tomorrow I go to work.

Life is Groundhog Day.

I Humbly Present…

Whoever decided “Present”

Should mean both “gift” and “now”

As well as “here” like “I am here”

And “here” like “take this cow”

Should be presented with a present

If they’re present in the present

‘Cause their presence in the past

Makes the present present as unpleasant.

Task Failed Successfully

They said I couldn’t write a poem

Without using the letter “E”.

They were right, and yet somehow

I’m happy as can be.

On occasion you may find

Satisfaction without complying.

Also, I don’t know how to cut out

My first stanza… not lying!

An Honorificabilitudinitatibus Love

I called her pulchritudinous.

She called me eellogofusciouhipoppokunurious.

Both of those are compliments

In case I made you curious.

English Empire? Hold My Beer…

We asked Canada to become a state

But they responded with only hate.

What was poor America to do

But extend the offer to Venezuela too?

Move Over, Tae Kwon

In the distant German mountains

The cloistered monks abide,

Perfectly fermenting

The hidden power that’s inside.

They slice a cabbage handily

With their German ninja blade,

Discovering through discipline

How real strength is made.

They drink not wine but vinegar

As they battle high and low,

The secret monk practitioners

Of the great art: Sauer Do.

I’ll Just Drop This Here…

So I got a job driving a forklift

At a barometer factory.

I’m not very good at it yet

So if a massive storm hits, that was me.
