Long Couch potato Poems

WONDERS OF IX A (2019)
Millennium is a box of wonders which crave
To get knowledge, values, principle and love.
In my satchel I have eight wonders that drive
Me crazy, frenzied, rabid. But lo how I love
All of...

I am going to write a funny poem
Why?  Because I feel like it
Why do you go the extra mile?
Great waistline my friend
C'mon
I love watching "Impractical Jokers"
Why?  They are so outrageous and daring
Something I...

Distressed by Rob Barratt

My furniture is all distressed
It's unusually unstable
The oak bookcase is quite depressed
As is the coffee table

The worktop has a thin veneer
It seethes beneath the surface
The taps know how low they can… sink
And...

I AM A COUCH POTATO
By Roy Merritt

And I watch the TV shows the shows I...

Working as a NY cop on three alternating shifts,
his wife at home with five little kids,
ranging in ages from 1 to 12,
his police boat up and down on the swells,

One week he'd have normal 8-4pm...

Yo, wake up, Van!
Brother, you’ve been asleep for a good long while
Things sure have changed a lot;
reality took a dark turn,
being so boorishly bad is fashionably back in style
Like a rip in time,

There are days I don’t want to feel,
There are days I want to destroy all I’ve healed.
There are days that I sail,
Through the skies without fail
On a manic high,
I feel amazing without having to try.

Talking heads 
will give you their attached credentials
with solemn aplomb

And it’s plenty hyphen proof long

They’ll make unlearned eyes gasp
at their hyped expertise

Get simpler minds to hyperventilate,
as their lower rack thoughts 
common sense overheat

Everyday, mundane pondering

Remembering Mom
Written: by Miracle Man

Long gone the days
when Dominoes and Monopoly were king.
Before High tech ushered in the words “Couch Potato”.
When lawn mowers were pushed, not ridden,
and a lawn was a buck fifty, not times...

He’s just your average lazy bum — 
a sweet, lovable loser
Who loves to stick his index finger

and tell you he’s number one
When in fact, technically,
his favorite sports team is
It’s success by association,...

Talented in closing every door
and drawer left open by my spouse.
Those beastly eyes from childhood;
doors and drawers under the bed, too.

Talented in tripping and spilling,
splashing and controlling (only
the remote control - what wife doesn’t
like to...

I visited his grave, but the grave was gone!
What? I know spirits travel but this just seems wrong.
There's a big hole where the grave used to be.
I think someone is playing a big prank on...

Cold rain outside

Soul food spread

It was a day full of joy,
A contingent of people witnessed,
When the vows were openly said,
Crowned with the infamous phrase,
“Till death do us part”
Yes, it’s only death that does part.

Death of love,
When love left us,
We...
