Dogs and Cats

Dogs are better than cats, it's the truth.
They have more fun, they have more youth.
You can always teach them to obey
And then they always do what you say.

But I'd rather be a cat.

The Story

There will always be another stairwell.
There is always an upper story.
And until I give life a farewell,
I guess I'll be writing this story.

The Picker

"Get your finger out of there!"
Ignores me. She just doesn't care.
Tells me that I'm being a prick
Sorry, it's just gross when you flick.

"Do you really think I think that's hot?"
Doesn't answer. I assure her it's not.
One of my many, many woes-
Liking a girl who picks her nose.

Swimming to Shore

For a moment I am a successful romantic
Diving from the sun into your ocean atlantic
The ocean you and your effects are gigantic
Till in deep fear of drowning I swim to shore frantic.

My Day

I cut my knee open today
Got hit on awkwardly by a gay
Got in a verbal fight and got told
Checked out a sixteen year old
Afterward felt like a creep
Running on 3 hours of sleep.
Just came down from my caffeine high
During which I was "that guy"
Spilled some mustard on my lap
A kid woke me in the middle of a nap
Then you wanna know what I did?
I naturally hit that little kid
Went out to eat, left no tip
That waitress gave me too much lip
Half my memory just went gone
Or else I'd tell you what else went on
There's something good though,
Something right.
At the end of this tunnel there is a light,
At the end of this day, there is a night
I'm gonna lay down, and go sleep tight.
Goodnight.

The Experiment

If you could break a man in half
and take part of him away
which half would he have left?
which part of him would stay?

would he be able to laugh?
or would he only cry?
would he even care at all
that half of his body died?

his body might stand tall
while unable to really think
water drips from an eyeball
too bad he's unable to blink

or pretend this man is bright,
but no ability for affection
no friends are found in sight
when you don't know how to make a connection

put his body back intact
complete and incredible with a soul
but everyone was made like that
but if we're evolving, how are we whole?

Bill

My little brother's friend
he's noisy to no end,
his name's Bill.
He's always super fun
he's an annoying one,
I love Bill.

The Dream Girl

Monday night I had this dream
Where a girl and I first met.
The first time I ever seem
to really have loved a brunette.

She had spunk and flair and didn't care
if I saw her be herself,
I followed her around everywhere
left behind fortune and wealth

Going crazy about this chick
Would she be more than a friend?
Tuesday morning I woke up quick
Never to see her again.

The Ceiling

The ceiling of my dining room
never looked at it til' now
and as I look I wonder how
I never noticed it's all squares.

It's actually inspirational
Noticing the ceiling
Having this feeling
It was never really there

I usually stare at the ground
but now I stare from down under
unable to help but wonder
how good life would be if everyone was looking up.

I Hate When That Happens

That guy there. He's trying to get my attention
But right now I can't think because I broke my brain.
There's something funny he's trying to mention
It's probably something interesting. Huh.

Normal

Been trying to act a bit more normal
Looking for the entrance to the "ordinary" portal.
The other day I even cleaned out my car
It doesn't smell any less of cigar.

Attempting to act just a tad more sane
Got more sleep to enhance my brain
It's true, I went to bed at 9
And not cause I had too much wine
Just went to bed and laid awake until 1
Ignoring calls from people having fun.

Also started looking for top shelf dames
For some reason they all just seem kinda lame
Like the girl this morning, I wanted to date her,
Gave my number- her man called 2 minutes later.

I'm trying to act more normal
But I think it might be driving me insane.

I Wish I Were an Asshole

I wish I were an asshole
All the girls would love me
Cause they love when you insult them
But won't expect you to hold them
Yes only if I were an asshole
But definitely not a jerk
Because assholes don't really work a lot
But the customers still think they're hot
And they still get a raise in the end
But the jerks, they just get fired again.

Oh if I were an asshole I'd have it in the bag
But I definitely don't wanna be a douchebag
Compensating with their souped up trucks
Cause the fact is they aren't big enough
Oh douchebags deserve to be struck
By assholes.

I wish I were an asshole
But the fact is deep down I actually have a heart
Once or twice I've been called sweet and endearing
Which are always words that are hard to be hearing
Because deep down assholes have the key to success
Love or hated? They could care less
I wish I could lie and call her fat in that dress
But instead I'm honest and tell her she looks the best.
Oh I simply wish that I were an asshole.

Fart haha

This rhyme is for you, if you are a child
If you're fifty years old and annoying and wild
This time it's for you, if you are a kid
If in your list of bad guys you include Sid
Cause you watch Toy Story all the time
If you are a child, I write you this rhyme.

Sleepwalking

My head hurts. My car smells like ass
Open my eyes with my head on the dash.
Did I really just wake up in my front seat?
Why am I parked in the middle of the street?
Look on the floor, an empty bottle of gin
A pounding in my head-It happened again.
Last night I went to bed, calm and quiet
But once I was asleep I started a riot

You see mom I'm really an innocent guy
But for some reason, I don't know really why
I go to bed and sleepwalk each night
Hit up the bar and start crazy fights
When I go to sleep somehow I'm just dumber
Just reached in my pocket and found a girl's number
I don't think I'll call her, I doubt she was hot.
When I'm asleep I pick bad ones a lot

Maybe I should become a lucid dreamer
Cause right now I'm just an unconscious schemer
My friends don't like me when I'm awake
I try to tell them "The asleep me is fake!"
But the asleep me is real, at least that's what they say
I wonder what would happen if I slept in the day
But I guess for now, I'll just sleepwalk at night
And if I wake up hungover, well I guess that's alright.

The Move

At the counter, movie tickets to buy
A pretty girl and me
Pull my wallet out like a loaded guy
And now I'm floundering

Only 20 bucks, this is the worst
The tickets cost twenty-two
Of course she wouldn't bring her purse
What am I gonna do?

Digging through the floor of my car
While she texts and looks at the time
Found a dollar fifty-four so far
All in pennies and dimes

Step into the movie 20 minutes late
Amid the credits we look for a seat
I point out a section to my date
And our journey is almost complete

Reaching the top of the flight of stairs
Distracting the viewers around
Together we find a pair of chairs
I notice the armrest is down

Into the seat, now what should I do?
What would she prefer?
Ask "Hey, can I put my arm around you?"
Or just pull "the move" on her?

Lift my arms up with a sigh
This my victory or crack of doom
When quite abruptly she stands high
She has to use the bathroom

Sitting alone I'm quite perplexed
How could it take this long to pee?
When in a dawning moment I realize next
She pulled a parting move on me.
