The Post-Holiday Diet

A very straightforward deduction
It's time for calories reduction
Draw the line
With water not wine
And avoid the pull of leftovers suction.
#TheNewYearsResolutionAMonthEarly

Food For Thought

A turkey
Made from beef jerky
Might very well be murky.

But a candied yam
Made from jam
Would be totally glam.
#ItIsAGoodThingThatIAmNotDoingTheCooking

The Morning Routine Is Anything But

What's next? One seems to constantly ask
The trick in ordering early AM tasks
Easy to do
Or a pleasure for you
Afterwards you wonder should you wear a mask?
#AsOneGrowsOldTheStoryMustBeRetold

A Bit Of Silly Offered Willy-Nilly

Ratman and Bobbin went out for a spin
This was on Bizzaro World where the criminals win
So while they saw a Green Goblin as they motored along
Instead of fighting him they broke into song.
#DoDoDoDoDoDoDoDo

The Relationship Between Performance And Confidence

When the answer suddenly appears
Self-doubt seemingly disappears
But when you are evidently stuck
Perhaps you've used up your quota of good luck.
#EitherWayItIsStillYou

Sometimes You Just Have To Cheat

A great injustice in the world
What words count in the Spelling Bee and which don't
Rally the troops with flags unfurled
Get them to change their policy even though they won't.
#AWordNotInTheDictionaryNonethelessWasAccepted

The Morning Routine Is Clearly Obscene

An eye drop falls on my forehead
Evidently the dropper was misaligned
Taking drops in the morning I truly dread
For one's limitations readily become defined.
#ThisComesAfterSoManyThrillsFromTakingThePills

A Dirge for the Online I Once Knew

Web 2.0
Wikis and Blogs
Where did the promise go
How much does the bile now clog?

Why did early ideals
Mask the subsequent reality?
The way things used to feel
Lacked prognostication with clarity.
#TheInternetSoMuchPromiseButNowRegret

Oh Man or Omen

A rhyme you wrote isn't there
About recreating it should you care
Or should what you do
Be to start anew
Even if not finding it made for a big scare?
#WasItAllADreamOrAnAccidentalDeletion

How Much Of Our Lore Is The Survival Metaphor?

The fox and the hound
Went round after round
Stopping only for bagels and lox
And then after, to change their socks.

Nobody can know
How long they will go
Nor that losing the chase
Is surely no disgrace.

Running and hiding
And on your feet deciding
Which way to go next
Is bound to leave you perplexed.

For the predator and the prey
It's always been this way
But for you and for me
Must it be our history?
#IfChasingOurOwnTailsWouldItMatterWhoPrevails

When WYSIWYG Doesn't Hold At The Grocery Store

The slice of tomato
Said to the slice of cheddar
"When we are together
It makes things better."

The cheddar reflected
And only then replied
"If we have food coloring
Then actually we dyed."
#DoesFoodAppearanceAffectFoodTaste

Reconsidering Our Own World View

When sarcasm
Supplants enthusiasm
It creates a chasm
And in the mind, a spasm.

A simple good deed
Is what we need
To stop all the greed
Yes, indeed.

So put the self
Upon the shelf
Then perhaps in stealth
Share the wealth.
#TheAnswerIsEasyStickingWithItIsNot

When Escapism Becomes A Burden

Would it be an innovation
To have two Wordles a day?
Might it cause a sensation
Or make it other than play?
#HavingFunOrUnderTheGun

Anti Sosh All Sigh Ants

Once poly sigh

Was the big guy

Now it’s prop a gander

Most miss understand her.
