Know Your Niche

I read a study recently

Where folks read poetry

Written both by poets

And impostor GPTs.

The funny part is readers

Rated all the AI stuff

Better in every category

Than the real poets’ fluff.

The only metric humans

Could equal AI at

Was the “originality” category.

Can you imagine that?

So, yes, robots are winning

But I’ll peacefully nap

Knowing I still have a stranglehold

On writing strictly crap.

Elegy For A D&D Session

Here lies our session,

Cancelled last minute

Because someone had finals.

That’s terrible, innit?

But why don’t you pick up

And play without one?

They’re sure to catch up

And the rest can have fun!

Well, “the rest” had a hard week

And one’s on vacation

And one’s had to work

‘Cause of some situation

And one’s having car trouble.

And got her hair done

So no game, but I’ve got

A whole pizza for one.

I Don’t Need Proof Through The Night That Our Flag Was Still There

There are two days of the year

Where fireworks and beer

Are acceptable for neighbors to abuse

And yet some neighbors (ours)

Must be from Venus instead of Mars

Because tonight’s the night they picked to light the fuse…

Be Me, A 30-Year-Old Child

Wrapping paper tube

In my mind a light saber

Wife is not impressed

Actual Photo Of Our Christmas Tree…

It’s Friday night

And I’ve learned a bit

About Christmas trees

And how they fit.

The Masculine Urge

Today, when I was peeing

And pondering my existence,

I realized I hadn’t thought about sex in 24 hours.

What I was suddenly seeing

Was not some great resistance

But the fact that Magic: The Gathering has given me superpowers.

All According To Plan…

I forgot to write tonight

So I type as I brush my teeth.

If I don’t finish quickly

There’s no telling what

Saturday Night In Paradise

I played a 30-turn Mario Party.

It made my wife tired and made our cat farty.

I won via stealing three stars from my wife

And that is why I’m satisfied with my life.

Almost Disaster…

I got out of a nice warm bed

Because I forgot to publish a verse.

Now I’m getting right back in bed

Because I’ve satisfied the terms of my curse.

Being 30

I voted today for the president.

Then with my civic duty complete

I played Mario Party with teenagers

And had waffles with whipped cream to eat.
