True Stories from a Man’s Kitchen

Today I made some cheesecake

That I got from a mix.

I mixed a lime and whipping cream

With several cream cheese sticks,

But when I picked the mixer

To taste the final yum

I realized I forgot to add the mix

And yes, I’m really that dumb!

My Girl Called This “So Sweet” … Should I Be Worried?

I love you
With all my heart,
Like hobos love
A shopping cart,
Like children laugh
When people fart,
When we are near
Or far apart.

Remember When I Was A Bachelor And Wrote Funny, Cynical Stuff? Yeah… About That…

I took a nap and pet a cat

And read a book and brushed a horse

And now I write a poem about that

That’s precisely eight lines long, of course.

Some days you will stress and struggle;

Some days you’ll complain and whine.

Today I smiled and chose to snuggle

A ginger angel, mine all mine.

Eight Lines In Two Minutes… I’m Inspired 🥰

Tonight I was abducted

By a girl with rosy hair

And forced into abiding love

Of depth both fine and rare.

She’s brushing her teeth now

And I’m trying to write this fast.

(This wasn’t my first “my girl’s here” poem

And it surely won’t be my last).

Progress

When I write poems in the evening

They’re terrible, so today I said

“I’m going to write my poem first thing”

And now I’m bad in the morning instead!

My Job Application

Today I applied

For a job at Haikuists

And my resume

Was almost complete

But alas this applicant

Didn’t think ahead.

They asked for Haikus

About Love and Spring and Cats

But they had no space

For me to submit

These poems, and so I post

Them for your sake here:

Spring In Protland

Spring is in the air…

So is pollen, and it rains

While the sun still shines

Cats

Fickle feline friend…

Six pounds of pure killing force…

What a cutey pie!

Love

You will meet someone

And your soul will fill with fire

Be sure to hydrate

At Least I Made An Effort This Time?

Every other day it seems

I write a poem good,

And every other day

I say I probably should.

Today I settled in between,

Insofar as it’s eight lines long

And includes some funny words

Like spelunker and dipthong.

She Even Reads My Bad Poems ❤️

Once in a while you meet someone nice,

And once a year someone ideal,

But once in a lifetime you might meet a person

Who’s someone entirely real;

Who burps like a hippo and sleeps like a kitten

With hair that demands that you pet it;

They’ll go out of their way to buy baby corn

Though it took them two Safeways to get it.

Sometimes that person is one of a kind,

Someone faithful and honest and true,

And your only job is forgetting to doubt

That their perfect partner is you.

Haiku, Because Obviously

At my girlfriend’s house…

Use your imagination

Or don’t… that’s your call

Guess Who’s Done With Nerd School?

IDK about IP,

If DSL allows VoiP,

Or if I’ll get PTSD

From studying about IT.

IDC I got a B…

I still got a BS Degree

Now I can sit and watch TV

And feel no burning when I pee.

IDGAF about

Telnet, USB, or a SaaS cloud.

All that is behind me now,

Like CD Rom and WoW.
