He thinks that no-one will complain,
As he exits from the far left lane.
Kill me.
Kill me now.
She is like a pig in clover,
As she slides her three lanes over.
Kill me.
Kill me now.
He thinks he may have seen a cop.
So, let’s have all on Central stop.
Kill me.
Kill me now.
Some of the smartest people alive,
But none of them know how to drive.
Kill me.
Kill me now.
I’m a child of the Sixties,
I can sing any Beatles song.
Peace and love,
Sex and Drugs,
I’ll party all night long.
I’m a child of Catholic schools,
I know a lot of prayers.
Glory Be,
Our Father,
He watches over us everywhere.
I’m (mostly) a child of Texas,
I got here when I was two.
Whataburger,
Ranching,
A State with its own worldview.
I’m one of the last Baby Boomers,
I was taught right from wrong.
Princess phones,
Playing outside,
In college, I even saw a bong.
I’m a child of many,
My folks, the highest percentile.
Selective amnesia,
An occasional drink,
And my shrink on speed-dial.
Rocky is a klepto,
He stole a poor rat’s life.
Now we all have lepto,
Which is causing us much strife.
I stay inside
All Spring, you see.
I am allergic
As can be.
I need some tissues.
Grasses make me sneezy.
I need allergy meds.
Blossoms make me wheezy.
Stuck inside, avoiding pollen.
I stay as isolated as can be,
My hairy pets roll all around,
And bring my yard inside to me.
(One last poem for NaPoWriMo)
Last day of the month.
I’ve drawn a blank.
My mind is numb.
An empty tank.
My dogs are quiet.
Now of all times.
My annoyance with them
Always makes good rhymes.
I’m sure something will come,
There’s an idea somewhere.
I just hope it arrives,
I may need prayer.
(See you next year.)
This has been a really long April.
I alomst have the poems to prove it.
I missed a day or two this year.
I have to do a spare and move it.
Laid off.
Thrown away.
I don’t feel
Very good today.
Time to find
Another job.
A long-term gig,
A bank to rob.
Nineteen years,
Down the drain.
I need something
To ease the pain.
So much time,
On the treadle,
So where is my
Participation medal?
I suppress another yawn.
Where has all the time gone?
There is too much to say.
Not enough time left to play.
I am just trying to hang on.
I need time to slow down.
Let the crises leave town.
I need time to think.
I’m starting to sink.
Must be a nervous breakdown.
I missed a day.
What can I say?
Sadly, I have lost my way.
Now, I will go into May.
Zzzzzzz.
Stop licking me!
Zzzzzzz.
Stop barking!
Zzzzzzz.
Really. Stop licking me!
Zzzzzzz.
Please get off my head.
Zzzzzzz.
Naps with a puppy are not very restful.
