Forget “Hope”, “Faith”, “Joy”… Give Me a Good Name!

We’re all human, the same flesh and blood,

And our brains all work the dame way,

But some people think that a child named Dink

Is perfectly fine and okay

While others are Henry for 12 generations

And some are named Diogenese

And yet never in history has someone had

A child named “Delicious Melty Cheese.”

And So The Cycle Continues

Not enough poems are written

About the legendary Scott:

We would remedy this, except

Of what he did, we knowest not.

I WOULD RATHER GIVE SATAN’S PET PORCUPINE A BLOWJOB THAN HAVE FRONTIER INTERNET ONE MORE SECOND

Right now it’s been 21 minutes

Since I started loading my homework

And the first question still hasn’t loaded.

I imagine sometime in the future

When the sun is a distant memory

And perhaps the whole universe has imploded

I’ll finally look at my laptop

And see “Question 1 of 16”

Blinking at me from the shadows of collapsing stars…

Well, it’s been seven more minutes

Since I started writing this poem

So thank goodness my Wifi says I have three bars!

Edit: It’s Viasat, actually. (This is the Upgrade from Frontier. Leave none alive)

Thus, Jeff Was Born

I like to imagine that somebody said

“I’m naming my child Cheff

“‘Cause that’s the sound a choo choo makes

“When played in super high def.”

Then their friend said, “Yeah, Cheff sounds cool

“But what if the first syllable

“Sounded like a French librarian

“Trying to shush people into a lull?”

One Upside To WW III

In a positive twist on current events,

It seems the number of incidents

Of accidental gunshots dropped

When everybody suddenly stopped

Tolerating anything Russian,

Which apparently included pushing

A swift end to games of Russian Roulette.

So hey! Take what good news you get!

What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?

Some kids will say “Astronaut”.

Some kids will say “Surgeon.”

Some kids will say “Engineer”

Which means they misspelled “Virgin.”

Some kids will say “A Hero

“Dressed in armor and a cowl.”

But props to the kid who said

“I’d be your girlfriend’s towel.”

Why Modern Poets Are Thin

A poem without rhyming’s

Like a cheeseburger without cheese,

A BLT with no tomato,

A bowl of carrots without peas.

A poem without rhyming

Lacks flavor and synergy

But alas I’m on a diet

And must cut whatever calories I can…

(And I Don’t Think It’s Fair)

Tonight we lose an hour

Which I don’t think is fair.

It’s like somebody skipped the end of a poem

Tech Support

Sometimes a customer writes me to say

“I wish that your product would do things this way.”

I like to tell them “Hey, let’s clear the air:

“The problem’s between your keyboard and chair.”

Hey, it’s been like 90 days since I was this lame, so you’re welcome 😋

I worked 13 hours today

So a two line poem is a-ok.
