Donald Trump never had any doubt
He could hear Melania shout:
"Oh for goodness' sake
How long does it take
For a couch potato to sprout?"
In a previous life
I was a woman’s bicycle seat
Envied by all couch potato men
My life has gone downhill since then
Now my old friends call me Depends
Mike Mokes was a devoted couch potato.
It started only months out of the cradle.
He had found his groove
And refused to move.
'Til his house was hit by a tornado.
My teenage years were filled with dreams
Being a sports star, missed the boat it seems
A couch potato I am
Eating bread and jam
Cheering from the sidelines but bursting at the seams
Cat hanging off couch.
I, sitting here and do slouch.
Stomach, a fat pouch.

Rhymed Senryu
Try something really funny
Racing with your honey!
Try something really silly
Backwords over land that's hilly!
Try something really crazy
Go into field that's mazy!
Beats being a couch potato
Might grow at least one tomato!
Form:
When you arrive in San Francisco,
You can't just be a couch potato!
Hills rise and fall with a crescendo.
You might want to sit.
But that's just the pits.
Rise up, climb those hills with bravado!

Dear Lordy, what have you done
this loony spouse given me…
he rants and TV- clicks all night
much like a freakish banshee!
Obsessed with horror movies
remote control is life's drug:
This model needs rebooting,
It's time for urgent de-bug.

Written for Kevin Shaw's Surreal and Daft
COUCH POTATO
Can there be more solid man
On the couch he’s planted here
Under blankets and old books
Calling orders for more beer
Has he grown a set of roots
Planting him eternally
Or is it possible
That he ‘s related to a tree?
As I glance at him again
Taking drinks and giving smiles
Oh, I’d rather have him home--
TV’s cheaper than gas miles
Was a really grouchy grump
Who would sit upon his rump
Like a couch-potato chump
Like a Groper poised to jump
Anything that he could hump
With a tiny little stump
He would huff and puff and pump
Till he found the City Dump
And became another lump
To be flushed straight down the sump
With a thumpety-thumpety thump
(One may NEVER dump a Trump
With a bumpety-bumpety bump)!
I'm logical about my passion
And passionate about my logic
I am shy and friendly
I am an extroverted introvert
I'm an intellectual who loves media glitz
I am a homebody who craves date nights outings
I'm an isolated observer of human nature
I'm an industrious couch potato
I'm a bohemian who requires a structured lifestyle
I'm a despairing romantic
Optimism and pessimism continue to crowd me
I am human...
Therapeutic
Therapeutic, is soothing.
Maybe some hot tea.
Something meaningful to everyone.
Hobbies and talents.
Your favorite pastime.
For me, it’s writing poetry.
Sounds from a piano in the background.
Time away from work.
What is your therapeutic recipe?
It could be anything pleasing.
Spending time with someone.
Kicking back being a couch potato.
Whatever it may be.
A therapeutic moment heavenly.
I don't like Sunday night
It doesn't like me
It's the end of the weekend
which doesn't fill me with glee
Tomorrow morning begins
the workweek's dull grind
that some just can't wait for
but which I really mind
My last hours of freedom
couch potato-ing the tube ~
What the 'H' am I doing
I'm such a dumb rube
C'mon, let's go out
We'll paint the town red
After all, the next weekend
is just five days ahead
a soda fanatic
a tv hound
an armchair fiend
a couch potato....fried....not baked
i am fooling myself here
i miss you and that's just why
too bad you are no longer here to hear it
it is six years exactly today
the inhaler still sits by the picture you took twenty-four hours before
when i said goodnight to you, i never thought i would really be saying goodbye
a sucker for tearjerkers
a new connoisseur of tragic plays
a soap opera rookie....blue....not green
I just saw this cute couch potato
An old kitty with no up and go
He just sits and grows 'round
with large belly profound
While enjoying his best TV show
Laying low with his back legs astride
Tail beneath to protect his backside
Oh, how comfy is he
This old cat retiree
Who now basks in the good life with pride!
