If I had a roll of nickels
For every driver’s-ed I didn’t learn
I could make bus drivers angry

Ode To A Color That Sounds Like A Grandma’s Name
Mauve is a version of pink
That prettier than you might think.
It sounds like beigey-blue
But that’s just not true.
It was named for the mallow flower
And possesses an old-fashioned power
To make people yawn and complain.
It’s like a happy cocktail stain.

Everyone Loves Being Notified Of The Ordinary Life Of Acquaintances
There once was a millennial parent
Who thought it completely apparent
That people online
Wanted to see their kids doing fine
But it turns out those people did caren’t.

Give Me The Change You Want To See
You know how when you want to watch
A YouTube video
And just when it gets to the good part
The talent starts to show
An ad for “Raid: Shadow Legends”
Or some other mobile game
And you just skip ahead because
You think the ad is lame?
Well, that’s basically the state
Of politics today:
Companies sponsor actors
And we look the other way.
So if you want to change the world
Don’t buy Pfizer or Walmart.
Instead, please spend your hard-earned cash
On poetry to start!

I Bet Scissors Makes “The Rock” Their Spokesman
Sometimes life is sunny
And everything goes right;
Sometimes you’re the VP of Marketing
And decide to revamp Bud Light.

Compromise (A Child’s Tale)
Every good boy deserves a pony.
Every good girl deserves a fiddle,
But the parents “Eat your broccoli”
And called this crime “Meeting in the middle”.

Finally Some Recognition!
‘Twas the day after Easter
And the kids were off school
Eating copious sugar
And emitting much drool
When a rabbit emerged
And said “Sorry I’m late!”
Then he hid eggs all over
And hopped over the gate.
The children tried chasing,
But bunnies are fast…
Then it dawned on a child
Who whispered at last
“If the bunny came here
“Today, who was that
“Who brought candy yesterday?”
Thus smiled the Easter Rat.

A Very Heartfelt Easter Poem
Happy bunny day today
To those who hunt for eggs and pray
And also Lent is done so yay!
That’s all I’ve got, so go away.

Avatar, And The Poet Who Just Emerged From His Rock
There once was a billion-dollar movie
About some blue guys who were groovy.
I watched it tonight
And now I’ve seen the light
And I’m up to date with 2005. (Woohoo vee).

A Shaky Poem At Best…
An epileptic guy walked into a pizzeria.
It was a Domino’s, but he wanted Little Seizures.
