- Light verse is my medium
For the war on tedium.
Draw up a comfy chair,
Give a look right here.
What've you got to lose
Other than the blues?
Think of this as an app
To make you a cheerier chapp.

Jokers Wild
--High IQ--
Are always conscious
They're smarter than you.
.
So in sexual gameplay
They profess success
By chucking poker
For strip chess.
Fate
What will be will be--you love to repeat.
If those are more than words, good sir,
Do you close your eyes while crossing the street? Read full post »
Note to the Traveler
Tokyo or Nanking,
Never pass a restroom
Sans contributing.
You'll be relieved
To finally see
Charity starts
At the W.C.
Memorial Day 2012
Let's honor the bankers who without question
Brought down the US economy
--That is, for you, and you and me--
While maneuvering the 99
Into bailing out the clever swine.
They wallow in their honeyed enjoyment
Though the workforce tumbled into unemployment.

Apple Pie With a Cherry on Top
--Wall Street Journal
What could be more American--
Pick & choose, choose & pick?
Want a snazzy automobile?
Order a BMW quick.
Change of scene would do you good?

Hummingbird Humming
A hymn to her
Pours out of his beak
Whenever he's moved
Of love to speak.
Unless of course
He's repelled by quim,
In which case
A hymn to him.
Hostess With the Mostess
Better than the stew
Taking in future and past
In a sendoff lean and fast
Proving thoughtful prep–
“Bye-bye, take care, watch your step.” Read full post »
Epitaph for Mark Zuckerberg
My fate was Facebook,
One of life's quirks,
Devised by a genius
To be used by jerks.
Saint Caffeine
that frequent coffee drinkers have a lower
risk of dying from a variety of diseases
compared with people who drink little or no coffee.
-- New York Times
Perhaps you won't be resurrected
And fear that this is how you're fated
But onetime villain coffee gives hope

Ballad of the Online Son
Exactly why are ye glued
To the devil's own contraption
Far worse than coming home stewed?"
"O, Mother, dear Mother, forgive me
For getting your nerves all ajangle,
But I've mountains of emails to work through
Lest my friendships they wither and mangle."
"But Danny, my poor… Read full post »
Facebook Defriended
Designed by
geniuses
To make cyber bucks,
Employed
incessantly
By hapless
schmucks.
Life-deaffirming,
Such is Facebook;
Shrinks might term it
An online Casebook. Read full post »
Post IT Note to Guys
Coition's a muddle
A piddle of a puddle
Equivalent to a fuddle
If you fail to cuddle.
Rats With Smarts
Sugar makes people dumber, US scientists find
--news item
Before you sweeten that coffee cup
And come upon news that stirs you up,
Consider this about a scientist:
He won't make the list without a twist.
He knows from his researches that
To gain attention, you find the earth's… Read full post »
Pleasure Principal
Many and many an orgasm--
The sensual woman hasm.
Sucking In Billions

"Are you mom enough?" asks Time,
With a woman holding her tot
Closely and lovingly
As she feeds him at her tit.
Look for the cover on Facebook
And you're bound to holler "Hark!"
For the boy who's broadly beaming
Is none other than Baby Mark. Read full post »

Revolutionized diapers
And eased the way for
A generation of wipers.

Obama, Alas
His favorite dish is waffles
On his plate and on the shelf.
His eye is on the voters
But I know he thinks of himself.
Going By the Book
Wally Calor watched his health,
Following all the rules,
Stressing beta carotene,
Foods as good as jewels.
Net effect was energy bonus,
Making a healthy fellow,
Even if the B-C sources
Turned him orange-yellow.
Also on a daily basis,
Eight glasses of… Read full post »
Piece o' Take
Why’s it known as takeout
When we needn’t go out at all?
That’s what we eat at home
So take-in’s a better call.
Brits call their eat-ins takeaway,
Suggestive as can be–
Take-that-away is something
On which we Yanks agree. Read full post »
Counter Attack Against Al Qaeda
CIA thwarts new, more sophisticated underwear bombs--NPR
headline
What makes the bomb sophisticated
Is the ingenious trigger mechanism
That makes the male underwearer
A source of security pessismism.
The tiny amount of explosive stuff
Is set off by a stone erection--
So the CIA has nixed sexy stews… Read full post »
Little Romance in Cats
Since children's author Ezra Jack Keats
Was called Jack Katz on the Brooklyn streets,
Could it be John Keats, who wrote in flats,
Also began his life as Jack Katz?
Tripping
Your verse responder is Euro-bound
Impatient to hear a different sound:English, with the music missing,
(Distinct from Ireland's verbal kissing),
And French, which every Gallic groover
Attacks with ardent nasal maneuver.
April in Paris? No, in London,
In hopes that weather allows some fun done,
And
