An Unbalancing Brain Freeze
I just ate an Ice cube from my OJ
Which made my head relay
It’s desire for its own contortion
Of a concentrated portion
Of my brain
Until the strain
Unfreezes and seizes
Balance again.

Muffin Tin
Muffin Tin
I fill each tin
With a soapy grin
Angled away from me in the sink
Dissolving less desirable pieces
In this soapy drink.
The process releases
Muffin mush to descend down the drain
While I attempt in vain
To scrub the staining adorners
Trapped in those circular corners.
Strawberry Jamless
Strawberry Jamless
Orange Marmalade’s displayed
Alongside Grape Jelly to tell the
Story of which jam’s liked most.
But the strawberryless rack’s like a smack
In the face of my naked toast.
Ordering Doubt
Ordering Doubt
Eating out, I stare at the menu
Then you ask me if I need some more time
And I’m lost in words but manage “yes”.
Guessing which picture accompanies the text,
I’m vexed by constant revision.
Indecision, I order doubt.
Orange Taste
Orange Taste
She ate too many of those Doritos
So her fingers looked like Cheetos
Until she sucked off the orange stick
With a full mouth lick
So as to not waste
The orange taste.
The Couch-Line of Toys
The Couch-Line of Toys
An army of toys deploys it’s frontline
Into uncharted territories to find
The mysteries underneath the couch that lie
Out of the reach of my
Hand’s swipe for figurines and Duplos,
Unwilling to join those
We’ve already put away.
I give up, knowing that another day
I’ll lift the couch and find
The toys, now out of sight inside my mind.
Pearl of Wisdom
Pearl of Wisdom
Not to be a phrase-attacker,
But “The World is your Oyster” seems out of date
Perhaps more people would relate
To “The world is your Oyster Cracker.”
After Church
After Church
I go to church and get filled up with tons of graces
But I’m left with empty spaces.
There’s a hole inside. There’s room for one more thing
That only a post-church donut can bring.
Reese’s Candy Selection: December
Reese’s Candy Selection: December
Aside from pumpkins I can’t see
And eggs still yet to be,
There’s nothing that’s more pleasin’
Than their trees in for the season.
Utensils for Eating Ice Cream
Utensils for Eating Ice Cream
Ice cream should only be served with a small spoon.
So that the end will not arrive too soon.
A large spoon makes the moment all too short
But will suffice if it’s a last resort.
The other exception that I could make
Is eating ice cream with my cake.
I wouldn’t break the cake-fork combination
For the small spoon Ice cream sensation.
Plastic forks though, change the rule of play
Since you don’t know when a prong might break away.
When using plastic, a spoon’s the way to go
To be safe on all utensil rules I know.
But the one ice cream utensil that’s the best
By far, held up above the rest
That trumps the spoon rules I suppose
Would be the one that’s underneath your nose.
