I want to skip my poem today.
The thought went through my head
And yet I wrote a poem…
Maybe I’ll skip leg day instead!

Rainy Parking Lot
Little drops of ocean sky
Fall upon my Honda’s hood.
I am warm and dry inside,
Content and sleepy. Life is good.
The raindrops play their glassy drum;
None of them would e’er predict
The mayhem that my wiper blades
Will, on their zen, so soon inflict.

Woe Is Me (Millennial Edition)
“I need to write a poem”
Isa thing I say many a night.
That’s usually followed by a poem like this.
Thus is the artist’s plight.

Launch Day!
Hello dear readers!
I write you today
With a break from the “ick”
And a fair dose of “yay”.
Available now
Is my most recent book,
Selected poems on love.
Go ahead! Take a look!
It’s called “Cheaper Than Flowers”
And that is the truth.
If you order now
It will not be uncouth:
It’s a wonderful gift
For Valentine’s day
For that lover of yours
Who just won’t go away…
When You’re Under Orders To Neglect Your Duty
When your nation makes it illegal
To enforce our most basic of laws
It signals that our compliance
Must end, or at least go on pause.

All Choices Have Their Place… It Just Shouldn’t Be A Place Of Power
Democracy is when you’re thirsty
And you long for a cool cup of juice
And the grocer says “We’ve only got soy milk
“Or Wd-40. You choose.”

Intro To VR Games
Just stand here and look around
And see the zombies, hear the sound…
You’ll be ok. The only failing
Is if you trip over the railing.

Crap… The Robots Are Competent Now!
True story: I was curious about how ChatGPT accesses websites or uploaded information to imitate the style of a particular writer. Thinking myself as an unknown, I did an experiment, asking it to “Write a poem in the style of a post from thedailytravesty.com”.
To my delight and horror, it actually nailed it!
Here’s what it gave me:
In a world of whimsy and satire,
Where absurdity sets hearts on fire.
TheDailyTravesty, a realm so wild,
Where laughter reigns, a mischievous child.
A headline screams in bold font,
“Potato UFOs invade Vermont!”
With spuds in spacesuits, a cosmic twist,
Satirical tales, impossible to resist.
Politicians dance in a jester’s jig
As pundits ponder, their brains do dig.
A carnival of words, a linguistic spree,
TheDailyTravesty, where all is free.
Unicorns debate economic strife,
While Bigfoot hosts a talk show rife.
Conspiracies thrive in comic glee,
A kaleidoscope of absurdity.
Aliens pen op-eds on earthly trends,
Sasquatch critiques the latest fashion blends.
Oh, the whimsical world of satire’s delight,
Where reality takes an ironic flight.
So, visit the site, let laughter soar,
TheDailyTravesty, forevermore.
In a realm of humor, where jesters play,
A post-a-day keeps the gloom away.

Marketing, Travesty Style
I’m writing another book
For Valentine’s Day this year
But I also hate advertising
So yeah… I was never here.
