Olde Town
I dropped my bag upon the cobblestone,
And all my cherished things were strewn about:
My phone and wallet, sunglasses and keys,
A tin of breath mints I’d not opened yet,
Some tokens for the bus I had to take,
And flowers for the girl I’d ride it to,
A nearly finished thesis manuscript,
My passport, birth certificate, false teeth,
(Some real teeth and a couple fingertips)
And several handfuls of pure gold doubloons.
Though this did not upset me much at all, I wept to see my onion bagel fall.

Sonnet IX
I once had all for which I could have dreamed:
A warm place where my chilled body could toast,
My crust was hale; my cheese was soft and creamed
And there! My better half that I loved most
But fast like startled dough my fortunes fell With flesh, once fresh, turned stale and hard as stone; She parted without even a farewell Leaving me bitter, broken and alone
Now as I drink away my passing years (Enough to make a dozen men go blind), My glass collects these falling onion tears While just one slurring thought rolls round my mind:
Perhaps she would still be with me tonight, If we’d have borne a mini bagel bite.

I hate football
Crooked referees with your pocket full of lies
Revising history right before my very eyes
Saying plays are legal even though they’re not allowed Showing zero shame in pandering to the home crowd
You clearly have no problem selling out your very souls I bet you’d even call my onion bagels jelly rolls
