Too Damn Catchy
Though I put no ring
on it, it plays in my head
til death does us part.

Every Couple of Months
I buy nail clippers.
I set them down. I lose them.
I buy nail clippers.

More Pet Peeves - 1

I’m Not French
When I tell people
That I’m an artist, they say,
“Ah, an ar-teest, hunh?”
~J~

I’m Not Perfect
Cell phones left on at
the movies...especially
when it’s my cell phone.

THAT COMMERCIAL GUY!
YOU KNOW - THE ORANGE-GLO GUY!
STOP YELLING AT ME!!

Once heart shaped candy
is half off at CVS,

Cars in bike lanes are
wholly inconsiderate!

Not that Hard
Give grammar its due.
It's just an apostrophe.
It is what it is.

If I were [Umphum],
my biggest pet peeve would be,
being called (pause), “Eggs”

Not a suggestion,
but mandated by the law.
Please use the crosswalk!

Don’t ask me if I...
Need any change? I sure do.
Your tip comes later.

~E[dot]S~

"that's how i met my wife"
a wink and a nudge
are not appreciated
when i say "i dance."
~E[dot]S~

'jenlovesdave@mail':
pairs who share email accounts
deserve what they get.
~E[dot]S~

an argument i can't see both sides of
torn on real issues,
i'm forced to focus my ire
on michael buble.
~E[dot]S~

dear roommates
just match the f*ing
tupperware with the right lid.
it takes 5 seconds.

Irony is not
An excuse to employ your
Borat impression
~P~

Signifying Nothing
Refrain from using
The word "hipster" if you can't
Provide its meaning
~P~

Avoid dismissing
Basketball as "just a game"
Lest you end up fouled

Stupid Logical Weekly Cleaning
Would that it weren’t so,
But the hardest spots to reach
gather the most dust

False Purse-pective
Who’s wearing what dress
On the red carpet does not
Count as “Breaking News”

Atmospheric Blindness
Stepping into warmth
from the frigid world outside
Clouds my four-eyed sight
