How do you appease a shark?
How do you make him want to leave you alone?
How do you satisfy his sweet tooth
Without giving him blood?
We brainstormed the problem
Made delicacies out of crackers and cheese
Gave him more food than any of us ever eat for lunch
He thanked us the way any shark would
By eating us up quickly, not allowing us to suffer long

Getting older and falling from grace
Never left the town of her birthplace
Year after year working on the same data base
She suffers from a serious bout of commonplace
Life just seems like a constant race
So much so she’s looking for a hiding place
To take a break from the insane rat race
‘Cause she’s nowhere ready for her final resting place
For some fun and to pick up the pace
She brainstormed ideas to give chase
Since she always had an interest in aerospace
She booked herself a trip to outer space
Outer space sounds just right to find her inner space

Absolutely sapped out
I will unfurl
my flag today.
It was a raw wound
of nuanced statements in dark
when the moon fell in lake.
Talking to butterflies
as I take on the genre
of brainstormed hibiscuses.
It rained again in my
courtyard, wetting the
marbles and my eyes.
Take away the roof from
over my head. I have
come to meet the frozen tears.
The enormous guilt now
haunts the vacant eyes, why I didnot
accept the voluptuous breast of death.

On a dark and stormy night
A ship hit a rock
Out of dread and fright
Passengers cried “what the fock?”
Bodies went flying
To and fro
Some were dying
As you probably know
But there was a boat
Over the side
Standing afloat
30 made it inside
The boat was made for seven
Cpt. Tossabout had to choose
Who would go to heaven
You know, who would loose
He had to think quick
He had to think fast
He had to pick
Who would be first, who would be last
He brainstormed a bit
And he thought
“this is it”
“I have a shot”
All eyes fell upon him
As he cleared his throat
He wondered who could swim
As he looked around the boat
“Simon Says is the game we’ll play”
“And the winners will stay”
To this everyone agreed
Cpt. Tossabout said “I’ll lead”
“Simon says jump over board”
Amazingly each body soared
They all went to Davey Jones’ locker
Cpt. Tossabout was a smart motherfocker.
