How was your day? In rhyming couplets.

A good plastic surgeon and some cyborg parts

Could graft me two broken hearts.

Then I could join the Bionic Old Farts.

Which never succeeded, despite several starts.

Lunch today is turkey salad

No one’s choice for a folksy-type ballad

Turkey in the straw, but not turkey in the salad

Rhymed quatrains–should be couplets–are here invalid!

Does that mean I can’t say I like chicken salad?

Yes, but that messes up the rhyming scheme.

Ignore the last line, twas just a dream

I’ve made it through the afternoon slump

Then came the latest Tweet from Trump.

He’s all about the Mexican wall

To which I would like to nail his ball.

But now it’s evening and night approaches

Time to hunker down, in the Dumpster, with the roaches.

And have a shot of Harvey’s Bristol Creme

Maybe he’ll die, maybe dream.

My peg-leg is really starting to itch
