Whoa, I Done Freaked Myself Out!

Whoa, I Done Freaked Myself Out!

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

Ever write something and later ask why?

"

You know something's too bizarre if it's even too bizarre for me,

 

I don't know where my head was at when I penned this; fishing derby

 

For humor, indeed; yesterday it seemed perfectly logical,

 

This morning it's like 'what the heall?'

 

Well, I know where my head was at, and it's not pretty

 

The stanza's speak for themselves, the verse is free,

 

But that's neither here nor there,

 

The face remains that this morning all I could do was stare

 

At the bizarre freak-a-thon I guess you could say I created!

 

Yes, what little judgment I have left has faded

 

To nothing; but I suppose I ought to let you decide for yourself

 

So here it is, don't say I didn't try to tell (to say this rhymes is a stretch!)---you:

 

 

******

 

 

Angling For the Humor-Whopper!

 

******

 

 

Here I am, out on the sparkling blue water,

 

Mooching for laughs in The Humor-Whopper Derby

 

Whichever angler hooks the biggest laugh,

 

And last year it was a 35 pound winner, wins

 

The grand prize of all-you-can-eat 'Flounder-King Dried Fish Heads

 

On a Stick'; mmmm, baby, those are some tasty fish craniums!

 

I shake my head, and reel in my lure of, "Three inebriated dudes

 

Walk into a bar, and ask the nun serving drinks, 'Say nun, what's

 

A nice-looking nun like you doing in a place like this?

 

To which the nun answers, 'Force of habit, I guess!'"

 

And change lures; for I haven't even got a grin with

 

This one.  I fish for another hour and come to

 

The sad realization that my lures all blow chunks,

 

And I have roughly no chance, so I'm off to the "Slanted Sea Shanty

 

Bar and Bait Joke Shop' to drown my unfunny sorrows!
