FRIENDSHIP # 7

You are my friend

Though you are cracked

But I mean that kindly

Because the cracked

Are truly blessed

As it is they who let in the light 

PUT DOWN # 25

Put downs work the best

For deflecting unwanted attention

But try to be amusing

As this relieves the tension

“How would you like your eggs in the morning”?

He might say to you

So just reply to him

“Unfertilized will do” 

ROAD RAGE # 2

 

I hate driving

I hate what it does to me

I strive to be better

And behave courteously

 

But the second

The car door slams

I feel myself change

Into a different man

 

I lose my communication skills

Speaking in gestures

Or coded messages on the horn

That don’t relieve the pressure

 

Driving makes me intolerant

Impatient and aggressive

It makes me angry

Selfish and abusive

 

I hate driving

I hate what it does to me

It fills me with rage

For everything I see

FRIENDSHIP DEFINED

 

The definition of a real friend

Is someone who would never let a girlfriend

Drink to such excess that they will try

To have sex with a very ugly guy

WORKPLACE WOES

 

9 out of 10 women

At my company

Accused me of sexual harassment

And are suing me

And I’m being sued for discrimination

By plain Jane my 10th employee

THE NINE MUSES OF THE ARTS – CALLIOPE (MUSE OF EPIC POETRY)

 

The nine muses

Daughters of Zeus

Inspiring of mortals

And nurturers of the arts

The first was,

The divine Calliope,

Beautiful-voiced,

Was the muse of the epic poets

A writing tablet in her hand

Calliope was Homer's muse

Inspiration for the Iliad

Divine influence of the Odyssey

I WISH TO COMPLAIN

 

“I wish to complain” the woman growled

The manager said, “How can I help you”?

“There is a puddle on the bathroom floor

What are you going to do?”

The manager with a smile replied

“I’ll have the maid mop it up for you,

And if it’s any consolation, I have three sons

And there’s always a puddle in our loo”
