Day 36 - The Happy Mouse

I once had a happy little mouse

Who resided under my house

He got into the wine 

But we got on just fine

Since we were both perpetually soused 

Day 35 - Occupy Yourself

They are the unfortunate ninety-nine
And all of their problems stem from over that line
But I don't really see
That they speak for me
I guess they're the eighty nine point nine nine


Editorial note: I don't actually have anything against the occupy movement. They're putting a voice to real inequality in our society and I hope they do achieve something, even if it is just to keep people talking about the issue of the way our economy runs right now. There are probably more effective ways to get the 1% 's attention, but this is a start. That all being said I still think the whole "We are the 99%" thing is pretty presumptuous or funny or both. I understand why they've latched on to that number, but I want to see the 98th percentile out there protesting.

Day 34 - The Welder

I once met a female welder
Was infatuated when I beheld her
We went on a date
And everything was great
'Til the wind changed and that's when I smelled her.

Day 33 - Carnival Ride

Here I lay staring at the ceiling
Head spinning, my stomach reeling
That carnival ride
Churned my inside
Let's do it again, this time with feeling.

Day 32 - Mayan Sports Hero

There once was a fellow from the Yucatan
An athletic and enterprising Mayan
His team to victory led
So they lopped off his head
Now he's just trying to get ahead any way that he can

Day 31- Inspiration

Today I am searching for inspiration
My ideas have left on their winter migration
Time for another track
Lean more to the abstract
A poem about nothing that lacks imagination

Day 30 - the Greek's

Everyone's watching the Greek nation
The country on fiscal probation
And now the people will vote
And the chance seems remote
That the world will give a standing ovation
