Poems - And Yes, They Rhyme - Poetry Collection - Volume Two

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Welcome back to round two of madness and mischief. Yes, it's another poetry collection. Straight from the mental basement where I keep all the thoughts that probably shouldn't see daylight. Volume One was playful chaos. This one... well... let's just say the world's gotten weirder, and I've been taking notes. Are these poems fun? Sometimes. Political? Increasingly. Do I mock people? Without hesitation. Are there uncomfortable topics? Hell yes. Do I cross lines? Absolutely. Disclaimer: these are my thoughts, not a manifesto. You don't have to agree. And if you want to debate me about them - I admire your optimism, but I don't fucking care. I think everyone can live however they please, believe whatever the fuck they want, and I couldn't care less if they identify as a rubber band. The line, for me, is when your beliefs turn into you being a racist, misogynist, homophobe, anti-vaxxer, or any kind of bigot who thinks some people are worth less just for believing in the 'wrong God' or simply existing. And don't try to pull a vegan and convince others to follow your beliefs, opinions, or lifestyle. Anyway. Have fun, or not, whatever. Poems. Banana. HA!

Weaponized Incompetence

He sighs, the tragic, aiding knight,

He is no help - although he tried.

A shrug, a grunt, a fleeting moan,

Then you do it all alone.


He doesn’t know where sponges hide,

Or how a trash bag must be tied.

He’s baffled by that thing - oh, soap!

Then stares at socks like quantum hope.


The vacuum next, a beast of yore,

Its switch a puzzle, mythic lore.

He taps it twice, declares it dead,

Then mourns its loss and goes to bed.


He gives his all to change the sheets,

Then gives up - All defeats!

The duster follows, no perseverance.

What's he good at? Disappearance!


He cannot cook, but burns with flair;

He followed steps - "Babe, I swear!"

He loads the washer upside down,

Then acts like he deserves a crown.


He ruins laundry, floods the floor,

Brings wrong items from the store.

The towels pink, the plates still greasy

Chores are "hard, and not so easy."


He cries, "I tried!" - his noble part,

His martyrdom? A work of art.

His helplessness? Weaponized!

Each clueless blink? Memorized!


Each time you ask, he does it worse,

The smirk rehearsed, his tone perverse.

"Oh Baby, really, I'm no help!"

He acts hurt, lets out a yelp.


And as you clean his tragic art,

He whispers, "See? You’re just so smart."

The curtain falls, the trick’s complete -

A genius act of planned defeat.
