Striking both tent posts and me,

Tilda the tent was now in rag form.

AT DOMINOES I STINK BUT, AT CHESS I WIN WITH DRINK

Little numbers I'm not good to choose,

So at dominoes I was destined to loose,

So I played at chess,

The moves I did guess,

I did better; I think it were the good booze.

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS CONFUSED

Soon we will jump one whole hour ahead,

I'll lose sleep for one week and feel very brain dead,

And do I pickup our baby or visit grandpa instead?

THE WINEMAKER BRAGS AND PUCKERS

My homemade wine was doing fine, until the little flies came calling,

The little flies contaminated my wine, and then I couldn't stop bawling,

Their vinegar wine gave me a pucker-face,

My friends want a glass of my bragged up wine, and I just keep on stalling.

MY GARBAGE CAN IS NOT WELL

THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT, LIMERICK

My dog ate my pizza up.

IF YOU CAN'T KEEP A GOLDFISH ALIVE

Mommy says I can't have a puppy, unless I can keep a goldfish alive,

So far that's not going well, no matter how hard I strive,

Most fish die by week two,

Some make it three, just a few,

I fear I may never have a puppy; I just turned 35.

Mommy says I can't start dating, unless I can keep a goldfish alive...

GOLDFISH HEAVEN

Heaven is full of goldfish, thanks to me,

Every time I buy one, they live two weeks, maybe three,

The body goes into the toilet bowl,

One flush separates corpse from soul, 

This is as close as my goldfish get to a burial at sea.

I NAILED TWO BOARDS TOGETHER

I nailed two boards together, but methinks those boards I should have screwed,

I did not have screws or a screwdriver, so I hammered and nailed, so crude,

My boards are loosening, so sad,

Soon my shack will blow away, and to the weather gods, I'll be nude.

It's confusing and it makes me soar,

And, through what I don't want right out the door,

I've been told I need a flowchart,

To keep me organized,

But, with games, TV, internet and more,

I'm stone frozen, like gorganized,

I call and they say "can I help you?" 

I'm thinking, "that's the first lie," 

Then, they expound on why they can't help,

Then, they hangup with sometimes a goodbye.

Do it fast because time is tight,

Gotta catch the bus at dawn's first light.

I SWAM 3 METERS

So people have perm borrowed things, when they could.

And, I feared once in the trees,

My kite would be mangled by breeze,

And, pieces spread over somebody's lawn.

Who implanted my brain,
And stitched together this monster with twine.

Eating four leg soup,
