She Would Destroy It

Posted on August 13, 2022 by Mystertim

Standard

Something has stirred Sammy’s primal force,

She’s cool, but deadly like James Bond in Prague.

What can I do to soothe this most savage of beasts,

Maybe go to the park and get her a Chicago Dog?

Out of Fried Chicken

Posted on August 7, 2022 by Mystertim

Standard

Not quite as young as I was once,

Some Sunday traditions with Sammy remain,

Instead of sleeping all morning to recover from the night,

It’s cold pizza for breakfast and watching the rain.

Having Sammy Helps

Posted on July 30, 2022 by Mystertim

Standard

If I look a little weathered,

Or perhaps a wee bit scruffy.

Just had a total knee replacement,

And don’t feel as cute as Buffy.

Petty Gripe

Standard

It’s hot, it’s humid,

The weather just sucks.

No one likes it,

Not even the ducks.

Glad It Wasn’t a Quarter

Posted on July 16, 2022 by Mystertim

Standard

For favors asked, I promised my son,

That I would give him a shiny new nickel.

After all these years if he cashes in,

I’ll be in a financial pickle!

Small Town Saturday

Posted on July 9, 2022 by Mystertim

Standard

Small town living is not too bad,

Where it’s mostly safe after dark.

There’s a cool breeze and plenty of shade,

While I enjoy a hotdog in the park.

Could Go Either Way

Posted on July 3, 2022 by Mystertim

Standard

Sammy has her routines,

Is rather set in her ways.

Wonder how she will feel,

With me home for three days?

After-Nap

Posted on June 25, 2022 by Mystertim

Standard

Sammy is my little friend,

With a fuzzy-wuzzy kitten head.

But she’s been getting kind of lazy,

And hasn’t made her side of the bed.

Them Dino Blues – Herbivore Verse

Posted on June 18, 2022 by Mystertim

Standard

Saw a Brontosaurus,

Is that still a thing?

Now it’s Apatosaurus?

Man, that don’t sing!

(chorus)

I’m being stomped by a dinosaur,

Ground into mulch by an herbivore.

You can slip my body right under the door,

Cause I’ve been squished by a dinosaur.

Them Dino Blues

Posted on June 18, 2022 by Mystertim

Standard

I want to get eaten by a dinosaur,

I want to get eaten by a dinosaur.

Won’t have to pay my rent no more,

If I get eaten by a dinosaur.

(verse)

Ran into a T-Rex,

Big as a House!

Standing next to him,

I look like a mouse.

(chorus)

I might get eaten by a dinosaur,

I might get eaten by a dinosaur.

Won’t have to go to work no more,

If I get eaten by a dinosaur.

(verse)

Perhaps I can outsmart them,

I’ll give it a whirl.

Oh no, its a raptor,

What a clever girl!

(chorus)

Something has stirred Sammy’s primal force,

She’s cool, but deadly like James Bond in Prague.

What can I do to soothe this most savage of beasts,

Maybe go to the park and get her a Chicago Dog?

Guess I don’t have to adult no more,

Since I’ve been eaten by a dinosaur.
