Mirage

It was merely another mirage,

And not a thirst-quenching oasis.

But eagerly, still,

They drank their fill,

And the sand ran down their faces.

What a Heel

Arnold and Achilles,

Two men, so strong and mighty.

One’s weakness found within his heel,

One, in his tighty-whitey.

If circumstance and people

Are the winds that fill your sails,

You might consider switching 

To a source that never fails.

Daily Scribble

I sold all my earthly possessions,

Withdrew all my cash from the bank,

Knocked off a pawn shop and liquor store

So I could put gas in my tank.

Bin Muted

Osama bin Laden

bin hidin’, bin plottin’,

bin spotted, bin shooted,

Osama bin muted.

Daily Scribble

I shout in raptured ecstasy,

“Rejoice, my soul, rejoice!”

Oh, sweet and precious coffee pot,

Prepare my drug of choice.

T'n'T

Toddlers and Tiaras–

A spectacular display

Of how to raise a daughter

In the most godawful way.
