Time for a Poem

Today is the first day of spring!
Flowers and bunnies it brings!

Say goodbye to the snow for its nobody’s beau.
Especially not mine, I boycotted it long ago.

Say hello to robins and green, green grass
A good kind of weather that doesn’t knock you on your ass.

Tulips and daisies and daffodils galore
It’s certainly enough to make the soul soar.

However, be sure to frolic and dance and enjoy the warm sunshine.
Because it may only be here for a very short time.

When you live in the Midwest, weather changes so fast
Soon it will be 100 degrees, and spring-like weather will be a thing of the past!

A special thanks to this awesome Web site. I'm seriously addicted, and you'll probably see me write many more ridiculous poems because of it.

F to the I to the B-E-R.

After receiving favorable reviews of my Valentine’s Day poem, I thought I’d post another little bit of wordy goodness. This time, the subject is fiber. That’s right, f-i-b-e-r. This one goes out to Tishy…For full effect, please read in a rap-like style.

Fiber, fiber, it’s the stuff in your food--
the stuff that’s left over before you’ve pooed.

There’s soluble and insoluble. Those are the two types.
Get them both often, and it’ll clean out your pipes.

Eat your beans, your broccoli and your oatmeal now!
Otherwise, it’ll feel like you’re passing a cow.

And, when it comes to fiber, don’t throw caution to the wind.
Add it to your diet slowly, or it’ll feel like you’ve sinned.

Small, but steady is the name of the game.
Do it now, and your health won’t ev-er be lame.

Peace out, homies!

She's my inspiration...

Here's Tish's poem. Prepare to be entertained.

Roses are red
Violets are blue

Valentine’s Day is silly
Even when there’s a boo

I’ve never had fun ones. The pressure was killin.
But friend outings on the other hand are the best kinda chillin

I’ve never liked pink and chocolate’s just aight
So days like today are undesirably trite

The pressure is too whack, the disappointment a mess
So I am glad to have friends, who explode with finesse

On this Valentine’s Day, I give you this duty
Keep good friends around, but still strive for The Booty!

In both celebration and defiance of Valentine's Day

Yesterday, Tish wrote an awesome poem about Valentine's Day. Although I hope to post it or at least link to it later (with her permission of course), it inspired me to write my own own.

It reads:

Today is said to be the big day of love,
brought down to the mortals from cupid above.

As the card companies profit and flower sales boom,
I’m at work working, and about to get the heck out the room.

Because Valentine’s Day is unpleasant when you’re working with ladies.
They get all competitive and hotter than Hades!

Heaven forbid your man forgets to get roses
or chocolates and goodies covered with all kinds of bows-es.

Society says real love is shown through a fat credit-card swipe.
But I’m going against the grain. I won’t be that female type.

I’m celebrating privately, at home with my man.
Be it with friends or family or loved ones, I suggest you do what you can

to make this day what’s it supposed to be instead of all the drama.
A day filled with love -- not just more stuff -- is good for your karma!
