Just a Sonneteer

Sunday, September 24th, 2023

A parody of “Just a Gigolo”

I’m just a sonneteer and everything I hear
Little songs are words you’re buying
Paid for every rhyme, sometimes just a dime
Ooh, look at me cry

There may come a time when words no longer rhyme
What will they say about me?
The last couplet you hear
Makes me just a sonneteer
Fourteen lines define me

I’m just a sonneteer and everything I hear
Make sonnettics songs for buying
Paid for every rhyme, sometimes just a dime
Ooh, iambic cry

There may come a time when words no longer rhyme
What will they say about me?
The last couplet you hear
Makes me just a sonneteer
Fourteen lines define me. ‘cause

I ain’t got no free verse
No free verse poetry, no free verse
No free verse poetry
Iambs get so lonely
Lonely iambs, lonely iambs
Won’t some sweet quatrain come and take a chance or three?
‘Cause meter ain’t bad

Taco Simplicity

Thursday, September 7th, 2023
As simple as a taco," people say 
When speaking of dichotomies of life 
The spices of this sentence tend to stay 
In simple flavors filled with ease and strife

The taco, a philosophy you eat 
Just look at the simplicity at hand 
It's folded in the middle, filled with meat
You'll find them fresh at any taco stand

And while the taco has a complex taste 
It's simply filled with all you hope to find 
In simple food too good to share or waste
Unless of course you've simply lost your mind!

A life that's lived like this is here to stay 
"As simple as a taco," so they say.
