Notes About The Poem

Crumpled Thoughts

What's for lunch 
Turkey burger with Onion rings?
Should I order Pizza instead?
Decisions, decisions...

Should I make 
a New Year's resolution
even though I always fail
at keeping them?

Mr. Pest Control,
you sprayed here and there
yet I still see cockroaches! Why?
How effective are those sprays? 

Which one is better 
to bait a mouse
peanut butter, or a cube 
of cheddar cheese?

Oh, If only I had a cat! 
Yeah, evasive mouse,
I'm dying to kill you,
painfully!
      
Should I place the cheese
atop a glue trap?
Ah, speaking of cheese, 
when was the last time
I went to Chuck E. Cheese? 

Hmm, what is it like... 
to witness an execution? 
Wait...what!? Why did my mind 
go there? Never mind.
