Expiration Date

10 – 12 hours each day at my job,

Just trying to stay inspired.

Hopefully, I’ll publish several more poems,

Before I am finally expired…

Just Sounds Wrong

Sammy and I are not quite the same,

I am a human, she es el gato.

The thing however, we both love,

Is a tasty tuna taco!

With Sprinkles!

Mired in depression and corporate life,

All they want from me is to take, take, take.

My day did get a little brighter though,

Someone brought me a fresh cupcake!

Which Was?

He wrote those silly poems,

And made a few folks laugh.

The last thing that he ever wrote

Made a fitting epitaph.

Grow Up?

When I grow up, what should I be?

Fireman, doctor, scientist?

In all that time I never thought

That poet would be on my list.

No Boom?

The Newberry Library is under renovation,

Why?  Updates, some possible erosion.

Thing I can’t quite understand though is,

How one renovates without an explosion!

Zut Alors! Chat Tatillion!

Pour vous, mon cher, ma petite!

Un eclair, like you, so sweet.

Hmm, it is not fit to eat?

You’d rather have a kitty treat!

So It Goes

Lying upon my flophouse bed,

Thinking about the words she said,

That life would better if I was dead.

So I put a bullet through my head.

Buffaloed

My sister sent my kitten two catnip toys.

And Sammy came charging like a tamarao.

Her eyes were wide, her whiskers twitching,

Meaning “I need those, give them to me now!”

New Year Surprise

Holidays spread joy and love,

Though my depression is in overdrive.

Here we are just five days in,

And I am still alive.
