THE FAMOUS ACORN HEIST OF 2023

THE FAMOUS ACORN HEIST OF ‘23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was a squirrel named Hank,
 Who rode on a Harley, quite swank.
     To the food bank he quickly sped,
     With a heist planned in his head,
For acorns, he thought he could prank.

He zoomed past the trees with a whoop and

Famous Hope

So many people try for the good life
Along protecting that little bit of light
Trying feels just like twisting your own knife
Although you know you cannot help but try

You keep going and hope for a miracle
And all you have left is to just try
Speaking your efforts would be lyrical
Don't doubt yourself or make your life a

Documentary Blues to Sugar High

I wrote a documentary
that would have won a BAFTA
But nobody would fund it
It was not what they were afta

I pitched the plot to Netflix
cuz they have a lot of money
They sent me packing, laughing
“Don’t call us, we’ll call you, Sonny”

I lastly pitched to Paramount
hoping they’d save the day
They took one look at me
shook their head

Common

From beneath a veil,
A shroud itself hidden,
Anonymity It's masquerade.
Tired secrets languish,
Benighted by nature,
Emerald, to pale green and white, from jade.
A sough in the head,
Of their tepid maker,
Whispers nothing, wholly unaware.
Crafty camouflage,
For the crafter of secrets,
Who never knew they were there.
The irony aroma,
Stagnant blood without pressure,
Metallic, unmoved, unaffected.
Averse to sense,
Illusory marionette's,
Clear strings, turbid skeins undetected.

and penchant for theatrics
Brigitte took Paris by storm

The Ship Came Like A Flying Horse or Homage to the Famous Poet Franketienne

The ship came like a flying horse, at an inexact time
Our brother-sailor, from the Pantheon of Poets, was on board
Jean Pierre Basilic Dantor Frankétienne D’argent
Who wrote, in haste, the last act
Happened to be miraculously on the port
He got on and left without speaking, without money
Without his masterpieces, without a little house
That’s life, we leave at

Famous Author

I cannot tell what the dickens his name is.’
(The Merry Wives of Windsor, Act 3, Scene 2)

by Shakespeare

I have a real tale to tell
of two cities.
I need an author
of some note.
I heard of one whose
first name is Charles.
My name is Oliver and by
some twist of fate, I can’t
remember Charles’s last name!

The day my students finally got Carpe Diem

With my students I discussed the other day,
the famous line "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."
Then after the prayer, with which our school day closes,
I heard the headmaster ask, "Anyone know what happened to my roses?"
And giggling to myself, I thought, "No effing way!"

Famous Anthropologist with Prosopagnosia

Jane Goodall has prosopagnosia
Also called face blindness

She is unable to recognize faces
she acts like she recognizes everyone
In case she met you before

Interesting affliction for a world-famous anthropologist
Who studied chimpanzees and reported back
That they express facial expressions of emotions
Sadness, anger, frustration.

Is it only human faces she does not recognize?

Non famous poet

A man await happiness in the future,
A ruby dream leads to happiness.
Say to your boss my regards, sister.
I am not fake I am a poet non famous.

The poem comes out of the ruby mind,
Not measured by fame, think again it.
With thanks given to me by people kind,
O, my God, increase my honors prohibit.

When words burn

But the world is ablaze with fire
And we’re sure to expire on the fame night
Most famous night of all
