“Happy Eve”

Happy Eve

Happy Triskaidekaphobia Eve

To all who practice and believe.

Beware now that sidewalk crack

For you may break your mother’s back.

You’ve probably already broken her heart,

With your non replies or answers smart.

So she has now visited upon you

This Friday day over which to stew.

The Ides of March did Caesar in,

His conspirators waited until the middle to begin.

But this Friday and this thirteen

Stabs without antagonist seen.

There is always one and up to three

To torment you, to not let you be.

So, gird your loins and be on your guard,

Lest you be hoisted by your own petard.

Monday morning writing joke: “Strut Your Stuff”

There once was a young writer in France,

Who for the New Year wanted to dance.

To get out of his rut,

Outside he did strut,

But forgot he was wearing no pants.

Dear 2023

Dear 2023,

What type of year will you be?

Wild and free

Or consternating me?

O’ 2023,

Could I have a word?

Is it absurd

For me not to have heard

What type of year you will be?

I don’t want to own you.

Not even bone you

But if I phone you,

Would you be the right date for me?

“Hello”

Hello, Customer Service

“Customer Service.”

“I need to return a savior.”

“Store credit or cash?”

“O’ (un)holy Krampus Night”

O’ (un)holy Krampus Night.

There is a being named Krampus

Who this night comes for some of us.

Some of us will go

To where, we don’t know

But that will leave more gifts for the rest of us.

Good eats

Sunflower seeds are healthy, /

Help me scatter birds.
