My Zombie Week
There’s not so much spring in my step As there used to be before. I’ll sometimes answer the window When people knock at the door. Humans seem to avoid me now. Cats and dogs run away.

I Met a Celebrity
My family went to Hollywood. There were plenty of things to do I decided on that trip To make one of my dreams come true. It was hot outside, But I was looking cool, Sitting in a chair Right beside the pool. I wanted to meet a big star. It couldn’t hurt to try. I’d give that star my best smile And charmingly say, “Hi.” Maybe the star would like…
Dealing with Problems
They say an upset ostrich Will stick its head in the ground. That’s no way to fix a problem. It’s not how solutions are found. When something’s not going right And you wonder if life is fair, Sticking your head in the ground Will just get dirt in your hair. Bruce Larkin Click Here To See More Poems
