    I've never watched that holiday classic
    The one with one third air travel
    And two thirds land travel
    Or whatever it's about

    And I've never seen the Chipmunk sequel
    The one with the awful, punny name
    The one they call a "squeakquel"
    And fills me with such shame

    But I did watch "Hoodwinked Too"
    It was OK
    Not as good as the first movie
    But it's alright

    A profoundly pretentious poet picks up his pen...
    and with little further to riddle,
    fiddles,
    twiddles it about the middle,
    then lids its nib once again.

    Lo - he thinks he's found inspiration!

    No... he's just rhyming pen-masturbation.


    ETA I'm naming this one Writer's Cramp.

    ETA Thank you.

    Roses are red,
    Violets aren't green.
    I'm comparing things that aren't that important
    for reasons unseen.

    Thoughts on Food Because I'm Hungry

    There are many things you do not know
    And some things that you do.
    Do you know what tastes like chocolate?
    Chocolate stew.
    There are many things you aren't aware of
    But some things that you are.
    Do you want to know what tastes like stars?
    I'm guessing star tartare.
    Koalas eat a gum trees leaf
    And a squirrel may eat an acorn,
    But some have observed humans eat
    Scrambled eggs and bacorn.

    I took you Squirrel in my arms
    we danced by cactus
    remember, when you called them desert palms?
    How in that moment I reached for a nut
    the look in your eyes
    when it stuck in your gullet

    baby, baby, baby, [chorus]

    My absolute favourite "Roses are red" poem has to be:

    Roses are red,
    That part is true,
    But violets are violet,
    Not fucking blue.

    My favorite is a more macabre variant.

    Roses are red,
    Violets are black.
    You'd look better with a knife in your back.

    Roses are black
    Pies are blue
    Prepare to get the rec
    Because that is true

    I love you in red,
    I love you in blue,
    But most of all...,
    I love you in blue! :p

    I'm not even trying,
    just throwing down words,
    like miss Muffet would toss away curds,
    If cheesy poetry is what you seek,
    beware, my friend, this is more gouda, than brie,
    For what else could you expect?
    But the cheese from me.
    Mais le fromage de moi.

    In wintertime I like to go
    And tread on other people's snow.
    I like to see them come outside
    And swear to tan my little hide.
    It fills me with unholy glee
    To see them shake their fists at me.

    But if someone should dare trespass
    Upon my snow-- the filthy ass!--
    To his chagrin, he's sure to find
    I've had my yard securely mined.
    To kingdom come he'll swiftly go---
    One should not mar the lovely snow.

    (I've always been very amused by the over wrought and pretentious delivery of the art school crowd so with that in mind)

    Oh Abyss!
    Ohhh.... Abyss!
    Oh why must you create such divide!
    Oh abyss.
    Abyss.

    ABYSS!

    (very quiet now)

    abyss.

    poetry
    can throw
    words random
    better catch them
    like a table tennis
    ball anthem
    or it is a game
    anything and
    anyone can claim!

    I sat.
    By positioning my posterior onto the chair,
    By allowing my great man-weight to fall through my fundament to the surface of the stool,
    Through the mere act of suspending my gluteus maximus above the seat and letting gravity, by the grace of God, Newton, and Einstein, thump my nether pucker down,
    I did sit, and I did sit with a purpose.
    I sat to prepare myself for the mighty task of writing an extreme poem,
    A poem that will reorient the bones of Dante along the meridians,
    A poemity-poem-poem that will puzzle Winnie the Pooh,
    A poem that will sodomize Bob Dylan with a tunnel boring machine.
    But first, I must do all the procrastinating.

    if words
    came from birds
    it would sound
    like a tweet disturb
    it's absurd!

    This is meant to be sung to the tune of "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas, right?

    This is a poem,
    There is no reason,
    There is no rhyme,
    This is a poem.

    Salad
    You're leafy green,
    My teeth you often get stuck between,
    I curse your existence but love your fiber,
    My doctor recommended you, but I wish you didn't taste like a fiver,
    So, I'll add some nuts n' seeds, maybe some cheese too,
    and dream of a time when I never knew you.
    Lettuce pray for better days.

    Sleep
    I'm sleep deprived,
    I'm running on fumes,
    With the keyboard, I dig to exhume
    Those tortured words that rattle round in my brain, and
    With my own eye, I do see the hilarity of writing bad rhymes,
    Clearly, sanity has left me for a time.
