Description Alone I sit

Cafeteria faux pas

Unholy transgressor

A warning to initiates

People pass by

Noses up high

Upperclassmen stare me down

An Inquisition

Nobody expects it

Quietly

My bowl I take away

Half eaten cheerios

Gone to waste

I slink away

A rejected worm

Morality tale:

Never

Eat

Alone

Cafeteria politics. Very well written and I like the line breaks.

When I stare into my bowl,
I eat alone, knowing that I'm never
truly alone.

Maybe not excellent on my part.

More water for Polly.
Her thirst will never end.

I guess he should get off her first.
Then maybe some water.
Water sounds good
All I have is beer
Perhaps this explains
The sudden presence of verse

how many more beers
til we have an epic
Did Tennyson write drunk?
I wonder...

Tennyson might have
written poetry while drunk,
though on wine, not beer.
When I rarely drink my beer,
I drink it like it's water.

Wine would be much better
Perhaps a nice chianti
And some fava beans
lip licking good
beer should be savored
trout piss should be poured in the toilet
uisce batha is the only water for me

You're smart enough
To get the reference

from snorting nostrils.
I am wearing a white shirt.
Easily stained by beer blasts.

Sad for you
The white shirt to be ruined
Must aim away from the computer
I read through one eye
Head held sideways
Walls can be washed easily enough
And laundry costs money

The walls could be sprayed
night after night while laughing,
they'd all be same,
security deposit
returned, much laughter exhaled.

Laughter burns calories
More laughing equal better waistline
Security deposit be damned
Exhalations of glee
Lead me to a healthier me
Worth every penny
Badly spent

That is why I love
the stoic women the most.
I love them curvy.
They don't laugh often.
I'm too busy drooling
to tell stupid jokes.

Stoic women must all be Irish
Curvy, indeed,
A face to curdle milk
But they give their men
The best
Beer
It's the only way
To create more such women

Too bad for me
I'm the dreaded saesenach
Give me the Beatles
Over U2 anytime

Dip me in cold beer
and toss me to the stoics.
On the painted porch
I'll caress them, make babies,
add fuel to the human fire.

Do you know why
Oedipus was blind?
His mother was ugly.
Two eyes, two children
The girls didn't count in Greece
Oedipus was an Irishman
Erin go broke

Oedipus was from
Alabama, lived in a
double wide trailer,
went blind from the antifreeze
his sister slipped him when she
found out about the mother.

I'm from the west coast
The only reason people go blind
Is from the flashers on the beach
The irony:
I have family from Alabama
I should probably check my DNA
For indelible flaws
Oh, wait!
I'm gay.
Genetic flaw indeed
Or did I choose?
Nobody knows
I'll ask Alexander the Great
He had experience in these matters
Always get your information
From the Ancients
Great authors steal
All the Romans excelled in literature
Off the backs of the Greeks

The Romans enjoyed
Greek and spoke it so often.
The Greeks had their own
Roman holidays but they
would never admit to it.
Gay, straight, bi, we all
bleed coffee and wonder why.

Roman Holiday
Excellent film
Peck and Hepburn are ancients now
I'll listen to them
For the wisdom of the cinema
An art form now lost
To the likes of Russell Brand
Coffee - I've run out
I need my supplier to
Give a discount to
His best junkie
First warning-
My beer is running out
This is your last call
To impress me
Before the pillow

I can't impress an English major.

You would have to be Shakespeare.
You would have to paint like Van Gogh.

You'd have to speak of Mayan chocolate,
sprinkled with red chili peppers,
and have a passion of Quetzlacoatl.

Impressible no
Impressionable yes

Shakespeare was a bard
Who barked in Lizzie's backyard
The perfect pet
Le petit tourette
South Park's muse
was of a different hue
Than dear old Will's
Globe Theatre playbill

He rhymes too often
Reminds me of Gerry Goffen
There I've gone and done it
Made fun of someone who kicked the bucket
Bedtime for Bonzo
And so
Allons-y Alonso!
