The Beer Ends Here

To his shame and dismay,
he drank beer all that day;
never did get to the funeral –
held up, he said, at a urinal.

Window Sign

In a window this sign:
Fresh buns and tarts daily,
and, by-the-way, keep in mind
this is a bakery.

Be of Few Words

With her nose in a thesaurus daily
she accumulated a vocabulary
bachelors found extraordinary.
The result was unsurprisingly typical:
Not one date and not one proposal.
(Ladies, be of few words and cautious,
no man wants to bed with a thesaurus.)

Everday

Tomorrow will be today
And today will be yesterday
After all today was once tomorrow
So here’s a little cheer to borrow

Today is today
Yesterday was yesterday
Let tomorrow be on the morrow
Then you’ll have a little less sorrow

Zeitgeist

Before the marriage knot we tied
she swore to her virginity;
between our vows and intimacy
she either lost it or she lied.

Play on Words

Man in French is ” homme”;
drop the “h” and add a “p”
“homme” becomes “pomme”, 
an apple. And if I’m not mistaken
isn’t that how the first “homme” got
got to know “la pomme fatale”?

I am a little weird

I am a little weird, I will admit,
odd as well, but bizarre? Not a bit.
It’s my appearance, you will agree:
my head is on reversed, strangely.
Consequently I see things from the back,
a privileged view most people lack. 
But I don’t mind, so, please, no pity
for what others call my “deformity.”
It’s really a blessing in disguise,
for it’s

Brain Food

My well-meaning doctor said
my brain is close to dead.
Lay off meats and fats, he said, 
eat fish, all you want, instead.

Fish is high in omega-3,
great for rebooting mind deficiency.
But, doctor, said I skeptically,
how has that helped any fish one jot,

they still get hooked do they not? –
Not too smart, if you ask me.

Trust in Me

Says the snake 
In the Garden of Eden 

Says the doctor 
In the Emergency Room 

Says the President 
In the boobtube of fake news 

Says the Priests up 
In their pulpits 

Says the parent 
In a position of trust 

However, there is only 
One person 
In whom we can truly trust.

Purpose

I know where my heart lives, I've seen the unseen,
Boldly I've witnessed the love in between,
The madness, the chaos, the pain in their eyes,
The tears they have shed in the darkness of night,
The never ending faith to push forward in love,
The hope that holds on and never gives up,
The song that sings louder for the

Incontinence

Her husband’s pace
is like a snail’s, poor fellow.
From bed to bowl 
it’s a daily trail of yellow.
With chronic incontinence
she expects its continuance.

Desert Dreams

Calm and soundless  
         escapes of 
           beautiful sceneries   
                        

Word Play

The brazen way some women dress,
I swear they’re in need of a redress.
With swarths of fresh skin exposed
decency demands they wear more clothes.
Advocates for women’s rights (men mostly)
claim a redress would be far too costly.
And at a time when a woman’s wage
is below that of a man’s, on average,
less clothes makes good economic sense.

An Open Book

Her pregnancy was like an open book
quite readable with just a cursory look.
She wore a gown that trailed in white
and grinned a guiltless smile as bright.
And why not, white was only a tradition,
her virginity a sold out first edition. 

Going the Limit

Scientists are expending time and energy
to invent a flushless water toilet.
But why stop there? Why not go the limit
by eliminating the need to go at all?
Or would the paper industry
take “tissue” with that possibility?
