A Few of My Favorite Things - 1

(I used an old list -

If I dropped someone’s email,

please add their name. Thanks!)

~J~

That nice “click” you get

when something locks into place.

So satisfying...

~J~

When my iTunes, set

to play songs randomly, seems

to tell a story

~J~

A game of Scrabble

with creative opponents,

even if I lose.

~J~

God looked on the Earth

And gave us chicken nachos.

Such a loving God.

~J~

Adding [K.T.] 'cause

new friends are my favorite

(I know they're not things).

~m~

When the train pulls in

as I enter the metro,

like I called a cab.

~m~

Order a cheese slice,

the pie's fresh from the oven.

Serendipity

~m~

The "plop" that proves that

no one opened my honest

tea before I did.

~E[dot]S~

Discounts offered to

those who work at non-profits:

yay, cheap theatre!

~E[dot]S~

I second Michael's

feelings on Metro timing;

John's on (veg) nachos.

~E[dot]S~

wrapped presents that wait

under the tree patiently;

anticipation!

~E[dot]S~

Dancing, park picnics,

music, making out, puppies,

"that's what she said" jokes.

~E[dot]S~

PENTAGON CITY MY HOME SWEET YEAH

Living in L'Enfant

I get the best of both worlds:

Orange AND Green Lines!

~P~

DEATH METAL PARROT

Finding a new meme

Before any of her friends

Is a geek's holy grail

~P~

POOR UPPER PENINSULA

Upon meeting folks

From Michigan, I always

Ask, "Where on the hand?"

~P~

What are you doing right now? - 3

Ready for the Weekend

Staring at the clock
tic, tic, tic...like mouse footsteps
I watch like an owl
~J~

It's already the weekend on the Internet

I'm trying in vain
to find some juicy gossip
on the late John Hughes
~Мир~

Shocked and saddened

John Hughes, how could you
see into my soul yet have
such atrocious hair?
~Мир~

Epilogue

Ill-advised hairdo.
Boring obituary.
The voice of Gen Y.
~Мир~

Office Party

One Friday each month
We celebrate all birthdays.
Diet, I’ll miss you....
~J~

That Apple was Delicious

Sweet bane of Adam,

If eating thee was a sin

I humbly confess.

~J~

I just bit my tongue!

Eating an apple, no less!

It has betrayed me!

~J~

Count yourself lucky!

You weren't* expelled from Eden,

Just got a tongue wound

~K~

* I consider weren't

To be just one syllable

Disagree? Suck it!

~K~

“Weren’t”? Sure, I’m Southern.

Usually* we stretch words out,

But it works both ways :o)

~J~

What are you doing right now? - 1

Just like on Facebook -

“What are you doing right now?”

Or “What’s on your mind?”

~J~

Sitting at my desk,

Counting out syllables

Avoiding my job

~J~

It’s my wife’s birthday :o)

I couldn’t get the day off :o(

I’ll be home soon, Love.

~J~

When company A

merges with Company B,

Where does that leave U?

~J~

I lied when I said,

"This will be my last desk here;"

desk change number 3.

~E[dot]S~

Doctors appointments

and grad school applications

leave no time for work.

~E[dot]S~

...which is just as well,

because all I've done today

is curse Adobe.

~E[dot]S~

Or the Starbucks

I'm in New York for

Its idiosyncracies

Like Barnes & Noble

~P~

Just HBO Dance

Bryant Park hosts a

Summer film series

Called "Screen on the Green"

~P~

Times Sq Toys 'R' US

Indoor ferris wheel

Animatronic T-Rex

12-foot Optimus!

An Echo Chamber Made of Mirrors

Rather than pictures

My memories are preserved

Through live iPhaiku

Ah, the Big Apple!

Would you mind bringing me some

cheesecake like Diddy?

~J~

Tyrannosaurus?

Giant, alien robot?

I smell blockbuster!!

~J~

The pungent fragrance

of New York + summer heat...

That AIN’T blockbuster.

~J~

It's five forty six

Instead of finishing work

I am typing this

~K~

Monday: Free cookies!

Also, a day long meeting

Ah, ambivalence...

~K~

Unlike most of you,

My work day’s far from over.

In fact, it’s lunchtime!

~J~
