Poem by: Serge Wlodarski
In Trouble
I’m not really in to poetry
But I like girls and they like me
So when I want a hug or kiss
I write a poem just like this
I know just how to get a smile
And make them happy for a while
Until another comes along
And I write a brand new song…
That is when I get in trouble
Boys Will Be Boys
There were hours of drinking, smoking, cursing and guitar
And the bruises on my face from the fight behind the bar
Add to the list of things not to say when drunk and bored
My Tundra can outhaul any piece of shit Chevy, Dodge or Ford
I didn’t actually do this myself. But I watched…
Women Are From Vina, Men Are From Mars Hill
First you tell me I should never marry
And how jealous that you are
Because I’m free
Then you go on and on for hours
“She’s crazy man…
My wife’s a fucking B!”
But alcohol is flowing
And smoke fills the air
The truth comes out
“I’d never do it again
But I love that girl
I can’t do without!”
You have no idea how many times I’ve had that conversation.
I’ll Never Live Anywhere…
that does not have a Waffle House
where instant tea or coffee is considered acceptable
where they’ll come get you just for saying something
that doesn’t have a driving range and a golf course
where people don’t make eye contact with you
where there aren’t cats and dogs
where I can’t park a pickup truck
where I don’t have enough land for a garden
that does not have trees and birds and rodents
where there is too much traffic
where people are rude
where they sell drugs on the corner
where there are snowdrifts every winter
where I can’t walk to the store
where I can’t buy individual guitar strings
that doesn’t have Bammers and Barners
But I don’t mind if you live in a place like that. There isn’t enough room in my neighborhood for all of you.
Okay, I’ll really try to write a “poem”.
Anticipation
I can count the number of days
When we go from brown to green
Cold to hot, grey to all the colors of spring
A time to start again
Maybe this time will be better
There is a chance we learned something
And we can watch
The ones just starting out
One more time the game begins
I should probably stick to being funny.
