Terry Pratchett’s Discworld with Rincewind the “Wizzard”

My best friend’s expression when eating a gizzard

The thought that a nemesis looks much like a lizard

My own incalculable stupidity


The Muppets embroiled in outright gaiety

Celebrities status as well-night deity

Nonsensical syllables, pointless as they may be

Clinical depression


Schoeder, Linus, and good ole Chuck Brown

Those silly Shriners when the circus’s in town

The thought that one day my name is renowned

Because it seems rather unlikely


Not all results in total hilarity

Creating an impression of faint disparity

Yet they share this striking similarity

They all make me smile


Ack! So much poetry lately, and I fear there's more to come, out of necessity even more than desire. This one was composed for a creative writing class, briefly describing a few oddities that I enjoy. Unfortunately, that's about all the backstory there is, but come find me sometime, bring up one of those subjects, and let us releases those barrels of laughter together!

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did.
