Haiku Madness Part Deux

Once again I fail
At going to bed on time
Good thing I’m retired

“Good thing I’m retired,”
said nobody during Trump’s
unstable culture.

Unstable culture
Fermenting in a Kerr jar -
Killer kombucha.

Killer Kombucha
That was my wrestling name in
My former career

My former career
Working as a pinsetter
Was up my alley

“Was up my alley”
As the kids are saying these
Degenerate days.

Degenerate days
and quite prim and proper nights
is no life for me

Is no Life for me?
Nor Trouble, Sorry, or Risk?
Who has all the games?

Who has all the games?
Who is holding all the cards?
It’s not me, good sir.

It’s not me, good sir
I did not invite that one
Dude into the chat

Dude, into the chat
Is not where I want to go.
Just answer email!

Just answer email!
I’m afraid of telephones
Typing is safer

Typing is safer
than jumping out of airplanes,
or so they tell me

“Or so”?! They tell me
That precision is needed
For this type of work.

For this type of work
I’ll need forceps, a C-clamp
And, of course, some lube

And of course some lube,
But, back in the day, we used
Spit and persuasion

Spit and persuasion
Two porn categories I
Actively avoid

Believe it or not, I know the song of which you speak!
(The Berrymans have ‘officially’ retired, btw, but if you DM me I can provide a link so you can see/hear their last performance for a Folk Music Society fundraiser last November)

in play –

Actively avoid
Rattlesnakes, Gila monsters,
And poison ivy.

-“BB”-

“…and Poison Ivy
is a supervillainess,”
I explained to Bob.

I explained to Bob
That is just the way things are
Which made him quite sad
