Great Cheapskate
Most of my favorite clothes
Were bought at a thrift store

Self esteem
It is difficult for me to have a
Friendship
With a person who has
Low self-esteem
I have a hard time trusting
Someone who does not like
Themself

Small Spiders
God, in Her infinite wisdom
Made spiders very small
I think I speak for everyone...
"Thank you, from us all!"

Three Wise Men
I'm not sure I believe the story
About the three wise men
It sounds great, but I swear
I'm not sure there's ever been three wise men
Together anywhere

Poweful Pen
The pen may be mightier than the sword
But the strongest of all
Is the heroic keyboard

That Boy
He's got this way of saying exactly the best thing
Without even trying
I think that's the only way
His way is
The only way

Notebook
I had a notebook
Yellow paper
Which I usually wouldn't go with
But there was something about this notebook
I put my poems in there
I lost that notebook
That is my personal
Library of Alexandria

Eyes Closed
I'm sorry your fragile ego can't handle the obvious

Unsuicidal
If I tell you that I want to die
Will you listen then?
What if I say that I'm just sad
And could really use a friend
Must I self-depreciate
To get your ****** attention
Pretend that it's myself I hate
To spark your intervention
I am mostly happy
But still, I'm sometimes sad
Apparently not good enough
At dwelling on the bad

Hey
Wouldn't it be great if America disarmed it's citizenry?
What an easy invasion that would be

No Free Parking
Your mother could die
And it is entirely possible
The hospital will charge you for
Parking
And all the procedures they tried and failed while failing to save her.

That's Debatable
You're trying so hard to be disagreeable, it is coming across as paynoattentionable.  
Disagreement is healthy in reasonable doses
But apparently it can become addictive
I think it's because you value debate
And so do I
But debating over whether the ants on the sidewalk are carrying crumbs of bread or cake is futile and a snoozefest
But I gotta say
I like you so much better then the other one
Who immediately blocks at any sign of debate
And I'd much rather invite you to the party, than I would the different other one, who only always agrees.  
So, I suppose this is all *******,
And I really hope you'll stay exactly as you are

Leashless
This Boy done disappeared on me
I know he'll be back soon
Shortly he will need a fix
Of what only I can do
I keep him on no leash, you see
For I know there is no need
All women in the world
None of them can be like me

Created Athiest
The thing is
God made the atheist, too
That's more a riddle, than a poem
Or maybe just an observation
193 · Jun 2018
Yuck (but darn it!)
Whenever I see a dog lick itself
I can't tell if I'm disgusted
Or jealous
Don't act like you've never tried it.

Correction
It's hard for me
As a lover of the written word
To see a grammar mistake
And not point it out
Not because I want to be a know it all
But because I want others to know it, too.

Brain Seige
It's a hold on my brain
But also it's opposite
In that it is expanding what was there
Not a hold, but still....a hold
In that my brain goes there more than anywhere else
It could be that time looses the reins
Or takes them to it's chest
Either or, I'm looking forward.
(Ps...I put that looses there on purpose.  I know it ain't right)

Impact
I dont even want to know what iambic means
It sounds like something medical I might try if **** were impacted in my intestines.

Sperm
***** is the smartest thing
That does not have a brain
They can swim upriver
(And sometimes back, again)
Those little brainless buggers
Have so much to do
And thankfully they did it
To make me and you

Self-fullfilled
You expect him to betray
He's a boy
That's what they do
According to you
You predict
A bunch of ****
And wonder why "everyone" dumps on you
If I treat someone like they're going to turn into a *******
They will surely get sick of it
I will have forced a guy like he
Painted into the corner of my prophecy

You Should Be Dancing
Come on, baby
I gotcha number
I know you got mine, too
So many swishy, squishy things
The two of us could do
Dig our toes into the sand
Get lost all night in Neverland
Get beamed up, and Scotty too
(Though we'll ditch him, it's only us two)
Find some old time sweet beat box
Dance until we wear out our socks
Hit the ol' pinball machine
And at the pool table we try to keep it clean
Laugh and dance until nearly two
First dates gotta end sometime boo.

White noise
Talking just to talk
I can't explain it
Really
Saying the same thing
People say every day
Without doing it in a different way
Most of what I say is white noise

Seems Like a Bad Idea to me
If you are feeling small
Unloved
And less than nothing
All you have to do is attempt suicide
And some *******
Hello Poetry
Will tattoo your name
Right on her body
Just please try not to
Actually die
While attempting suicide
She blocked me because I told her it was a bad idea  ;Obviously, she couldn't come up with an argument to prove me wrong.

Disclaimer
This is my poem
Right here
These three lines

BUT.....(In faint writing that I can't figure out how to use)
The author holds all ownership of this poem. And no responsibilities, of course.  But if anyone recreates or copies any part of this poem, you're gonna be in BIG trouble.  Seriously!  Don't try me, because I will bring the hellfire of the whole copyright laws right down on your sorry head.  I know my poem was only three lines, but I'm adding this twelve paragraph disclaimer so you know I am a serious author...you know, the kind someone will certainly plagiarize unless I add this very, very, very long disclaimer.  I'm not sure if it is actually effective to do this, but it seems official, and makes me feel like a real writer.  By the way, I'm plagiarizing this disclaimer.

Self Stranger
You describe yourself
And I can't help but notice
You have no idea who you are

Sexy?
I'm watching a documentary about a company that makes What they call "*** robots."
The male one is called "Harry Harddrive"
He has a huge *****
And no tongue
Seems like a waste of money to me
(Eleven thousand dollars!)

We depict babies
Shooting people
With arrows
As if it is saintly
And wonder why
There are shootings
In school

Insult by Omission
She complains to you how she's so fat
So you'll tell her that she's so slim
Backwards fishing for compliments
And the line is way too thin
But you better disagree with her
As soon as she drops the bait
If you don't, it will be you
Who tells her she's overweight

Sticky Sweet
Wise ***
Slow to pay a compliment
But when he does
It ranks among the best
Ever
Political thinker
Without any politics
Quick-witted
Quick tempered
Smart
But not smart enough to
Take a breather
Calm down
The boy is sticky sweet
That boy

Stockings, Rudolph, Ugh
Not another Christmas poem
Oh, excuse me...am I still allowed to say Christmas?
Let's begin again
Not another holiday poem
Filled with candy canes and trees
Instead, i want to hear the tradition of families
What makes Christmas (holdays?)  different
We all know what's the same
Please give us your Christmas (holidays)
By any other name

So many, many people work so hard to buy it all
I'm still waiting for the day I see a hearse followed by a Uhaul.

Bucket List
I don't want to be a
Know-it-All
But I think it is
Imperative
That every adult
Should sing
"This Little Light of Mine"
With a child under ten
At least more than once

Please pay no attention to the last share.  It is plagiarized, and I'm trying to get it so the real writer has access.

Hypo-
Convenience and entertainment has turned us all into hypocrites.
We all want to save the world
But the task too big to even try
Plus, plastic bags are so convenient
And Styrofoam keeps coffee hot longest

I always get nervous whenever I hear the words, "I'm gonna make an exception, for you."

In Poetry
In poetry
You can do whatever you want
You can pull a Dr. Seuss
And create a skiddelybont
You can travel to the future
And also back in time
You can imagine you're a unicorn
Or even be divine
In poetry
The world is yours to mold
Warm, sunny nights
Or stuck out in the cold
But it is no bother
The trials you may find
Are over as soon as the next poem
Forms itself within your mind

Dealbreaker
Hey, Mr. Risk Taker
You thought there was no deal breaker
But, like the gambler you are
You pushed it way too far
Even with all those cards I hold
You forced this girl to fold
It wasn't that your poem was too long
....
Yes
Yes
It was really too long
And repetitive
But hey, I am just an amateur
So keep up with the epics
And ignore the skeptics

Profound
The most profound words
Throughout history
To me:
And maybe to you:
"Forgive them, Father
They know not what they do"
