Misfire

My Missy girl thinks she’s a boy;
she lifts her leg on plants to pee,
a fact that would my wife annoy
except for dog anatomy.

She sights it in and takes her aim:
persistence, not a thing she lacks.
Results, though, ever are the same;
her line of fire: straight out the back.

There's possibly a lesson here,
Though one I will not

Blind Date Misfire

oops, misfire!
     hello, goodbye
          spark fails 
               to start a flame

Still Misfire

Once I was considered a real flat tire
Now I'm full of air and my tire's on fire
Rolling down life's highway
Laughing, making hay
But at 82, I occasionally still misfire

Cupid's Misfire

Though often called by lovers
for my wicked deadly aim
when I sight with an arrow
and I chant the whispered name.

Sometimes, the shot gets tangled.
I don’t like to ricochet
off candidates unlikely
of responsiveness in play.

I’m sorry though... for Mary.
Me feeling hung-over dues...
‘twas cause of the misfire flight,
mispronouncing in the muse.

I targeted her chosen,
and fired a moment too late...
Poor
