THE POEMS
(Vote for the one you think is the best
Remember: YOU MAY NOT VOTE FOR A POEM YOU WROTE.)
~*~*~*~
1.
An ode to People (in general), the color pink, the Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift, vegetarians (in general), Doctor's Handwriting, smelly old people, prescription insurance companies, racists, and impatience
Oh humans who are a threat to the human race,
Rejoice and sing as there is a new case!
Pink is back in style as far as the Jonas Brothers are concerned,
So Taylor Swift can contemplate all her boyfriends she earned.
While smelly old people frolic in the grass,
Vegetarians stop to yell at dogs for being carnivores but alas:
Thus begins the long journey of forgiveness.
Forgiveness of having Doctor's handwriting in all seriousness.
As this ode trots to a close,
Prescription insurance companies start to propose.
Meanwhile the impatient racists are waiting in the sun
For punk to enthusiastically tell me I won.

2.
-Oompa Loompas stroll in-
Oom-pa loom-pa doom-pa-dee-do.
I've got genuine feelings for you.
Oom-pa loom-pa doom-pa-dee-dee.
Stay away from that scheming aussie.
What would you give for a chance with Honey?
She's the embodiment of sexy.
Forgive me if this comes off as creepy.
I really want that custom plushie.
no not Pyro's ponytail
Oom-pa loom-pa doom-pa-di-da
I'd meet with her no matter how far.
You can live a lustful life too,
Like the oom-pa loom-pa doom-pa-dee-do!

3.
Napiform
The true scope of beauty measured in stride.
An awkward woman whom has a very quirky upside.
While many dote in utter allure.
Despite herself she is quite sure.
Her one true passion her heart doth glide.
~*~*~*~
4.
Dared by the ecstasy of your presence
Regarded most dear in my heart
Asinine posts are your call
Killing stupidity in a most insulting manner
Omnipotent in all that is good and right
Never in need of a reason
Intellect beyond comprehension
Do you feel the same way, I wonder
~*~*~*~
5.
A Sweet Little Turnip
Turnip, Turnip, full of sweet fluff and glee
Cutest drawings pine for innocent hugs
Whose power can make a burly man squee
And purifies the hearts of blackened thugs
ERMERGERD, you are simply gosh darn cute,
Studio Ghibli’s premier braving dame
aboard Totoro’s Catbus friend en route
or aloft on Haku’s cerulean mane
Just wait until you meet her in TC
A huge difference that will make you twitch
Cards and collectibles obsessed, she be
Even sweet roots have such a taste most kitsch
This deceitful flower fools the sundry
As this little one is one crazy ass bitch.

camera always muted
watching big red lips

The Hair I Left Behind Me
It will never again
see its glory days perched
high upon a
beauteous scalp,
ever so long and swaying
without trestle, nail or screw.
No longer is it connected
effortlessly to a man
and a brain and a tub of guts.
My heart aches for its
effervescent, vivacious
bounce
that once defined Pyro699.
Life will go on, surely,
but the sloughed hair that
he carried with pride now lies
meaningless, awaiting a new
purpose
~*~*~*~
8.
The Colonel
I once had a loving tear drinker,
an NDN friend and a thinker.
He's gone, out of sight,
departed with spite, for Sweeney was too cruel, that stinker.
~*~*~*~
9.
'The Ballad of Cyo'
I see him online with the rest and
he's always so mean
I'm confused and dumb, when he speaks
Words: designed to demean.
Cyo, Cyo, Cyo... why isn't Estonia southwest of Mexico?
I can't do the science stuff;
you think all I do is whine.
I'm disgusted because
you are anything but benign.
Cyo, Cyo, Cyo you would look so good in Mexico
You hurt my feelings, but
I love guys that act like asses
Forgiveness sucks.
Land and sea, separated by masses
Cyo, Cyo, Cyo Why isn't Estonia southwest of Mexico?
Why do you have to be such a dick?
This is so lonely.
The things you say make me sick.
Glad you're far away, only...
Cyo, Cyo, Cyo, You would look so good in Mexico
Cyo, Cyo, Cyo, Why isn't Estonia southwest of Mexico?
Cyo, Cyo, Cyo, You would look so good in Mexico
~*~*~*~
10.
I was walking down the street
Want to go see the priest
Too many churches, which to choose?
Fuck this, I'll just go take a snooze
Adam then shows up out of the blue
"Really Adam is it true?"
Slowly I asked, "are you a jew?"
In literally 2.5 seconds he said we were through
The hell, I said, What about my tattoo?
"Ass", he said, get a clue.
