So Unfair!
I want to be a werewolf,
So I’ll never need a sweater,
But ladies dig those vampires,
Because they seem to dress much better.

Autumnal Apprehension
Leaves change color and fall silently down,
Very much like my hair.
In Spring, however trees regain their leaves,
But sadly, my head remains bare.

Thanks Mom! (I Listened a Little)
Waking at midnight in my recliner,
Wrung-out, hung-out, empty, uninspired.
I remember something my Mother told me,
“You don’t want to go to bed tired.”

Was It Something I Said?
Waxing eloquently about laundry,
Replacing doorknobs, the grown-up’s plight.
Showing no interest in my soliloquy,
Sammy exited, stage right.

When I Was Younger
Bitter winds as the rain pounds down,
A dark and gloomy day.
What say we grab the football, guys,
And go outside to play?

Just Not Satisfying
Younger me dreamed of meals,
Made from ice cream, candy and cake.
But I’ve discovered as a grownup,
That just chips does not a dinner make.

Shorthand?
Dreamed of dining on smoked pork chops,
Couldn’t wait to have them on my fork.
Stopping at the butcher shop to pick some up,
The only word I could utter was “Smork!”

That’ll Do
Life is naught but existential angst,
Is there purpose, how could there be?
Sammy leaps on my belly, boops my nose,
Saying, “You’re here to take care of me.”
