  1. 21. The Old Guy's Checkup

    Every time I go to the doctor, I am reminded what a bad boy I really am...and how much I enjoy it!

    You eat too much salt, the doctor said,
    And your blood pressure's way over here in the red
    You're way too fat, gotta cut back the food
    Can't eat a thing that's tasty or good

  3. 22. The Golf Tragic

    In Australian slang, a "tragic" is someone whose interest in a particular sport or activity is so strong that other people find it strange or silly. I should also explain that to say something is "cactus" means it's not functioning or it's ruined.

    My husband plays golf, or at least he does try.
    After many a round he will wonder just why.
    It's not just a sport, it's a full-blown obsession
    That can be euphoric or lead to depression.

  5. 23. If Four Is A Party, This Is A Parade

    This poem is a humorous poem, but I really wanted to capture more than laughs. Mankind is a strange creature. Not even the animals we keep caged or avoid are as destructive as the human race can be.

    No other species has the disease, the evil, the love, the hate, the knowledge, the devastation, the resources, the mind, the thoughts, the capability. No other animal would throw their life away like so many humans have. Yet, no other animal has never accomplished so much? Or have they?

    I have one too many personalities.
    I don't know which one is really me,
    So if I'm nice at first and then I'm mean,
    You just met Sally and then met Steve.

  6. 24. A Dieter's Despair

    Oh my soul, be thou quiet
    This is not 'another diet'
    Just a program of exchange
    Though some things do seem strange

  7. 25. Forgetful

    Oh, the joys of being 77 years old! Sometimes my mind wanders from everyday practicalities and thinks loftier thoughts. I have learned that having a sense of humor when experiencing the trials of old age is a life saver. Yes, all of these situations mentioned in the poem did happen to me. I hope that you all will get a chuckle from this poem about being forgetful.

    I'm so glad that I'm not forgetful
    and seeing the frustration it brings
    like others who are losing their heads
    and thinking of loftier things.

  8. 26. Zoloft

    It is a funny way to lighten a sad subject.

    Hello, you happy little pill
    A smile, a laugh, a cold dark chill
    When tragedy struck you were given to me
    To ease the pain, to enhance the glee

  9. 27. Brain Food

    Poem about the misunderstanding of a mother's comments about fish being brain food. When I was a child I spent many nights falling to sleep with the covers pulled over top of my head. I was afraid of the dark and imaginary monsters. As an adult I've found that many of our fears in life end up as imaginary.

    Last night at dinner we had some fish,
    and though I tried, I did not finish.
    My mother told me while I chewed,
    brains loved fish over all other food.
