7. A Schwarzeneggerean Sonnet

srtadmin — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 18:17:14 +0000

My Mistress’ eyes are everything like my son,
Chlorox far more clear than my head was here
If Maria comes home early, I’m done.
If beds are made, my dear Mildred is near.
I have seen sheets dirtied then quickly cleaned,
But a housekeeper with dirty secrets,
This Last Action Hero has never seen.
Raw Deal on 800 thread count of regret.
I slept around for years without much thought
Get down! Get to the choppa! Will I be back?
Kindergarden copped a feel and got caught
My movie career and marriage off track,
While Shriver has been put through the dryer,
Even True Lies, still make me a liar.

The following is a poem I have written for SWAP that I’ll be performing for a show in July and December of Next Year.

Maybe it’s time to stop searching for these WMDs
Facebook and Twitter are the new WMTs
Witness the success of the real threats
Weapons of Mass Texts
144 character tweet seeking missiles (of dismissal)
no need to go postal to be social in this day and age
Blow up any event from the comfort of your own homepage.
Round up the troops to challenge, question and protest
it’s cheaper more effective and faster than any known printing press
step inside and get online
With now more than 500 millions users world-wide.
Weaving webs of connectivity more lucid and beautiful
than Spiderman the Musical.
Become the next Textaco sensation
on networks with net worths
worth more than any fortune 500 oil corporation.
Wield power to make real change see profiling be legal
raise hairs even on the bald eagle
where Zuckerberg is king, yet everyone’s equal
where not just American Dreams reign supreme
its a total global phenomenon
Obama, Netanyahu, Shaq, even your mom is on.
Status update your relationship or overthrow a dictatorship.
Ninjas, pirates, straights and gays
Stay single or get engaged
in Wisconsin its complicated
but why not add civil unions to your page.
Follow your favorite celeb and honor the dead
Stalk a world leader to write an op-ed.
With photos easier to tag than bags
AirTran can be a real a drag
So spread the word without all the jetlag.
Metaphorically or Rhetorically
These WMTs helped IRAN attack
while no WMDs were ever found in IRAQ
Whether they need ya in Egypt or Tunisia new acquaintances will be made
When life gives you Yemen give Yemen-ade.
But let’s not call a spade a spade
The entire Civil Rights movement happened without all this
250,000 march on Washington-so what was their trick?
(I had) a dream shared without a (mouse) click
but never before was it this…quick
unlock the skakra doctine to your inner activist
Tweet this flicker that and face-book the music with three fists in the air.
Open your third eye phone and smile while you file share
they say to reach true enlightenment you must (go at it alone) leave your computer home
fight focused if you want the crap to stop
So ask yourself….
does every sit-in really need a laptop?

5. No, No Homo

srtadmin — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 23:10:22 +0000

In Japanese I thank you, but not very much, No Domo.
If the Republican candidate wins the NY gubernatorial race, No Cuomo.
I shouldn’t have to tell you three times, No No-No.
What a cop-out, No Po-Po.
Damn your feet are hairy, No Frodo.
I really prefer homemade ice-cream, No Froyo.
Is the human race on the brink of extinction? No Dodo.
Stop clowning around, No Bozo.
A celibate Santa gets No Ho-Ho.
Where do you expect me to practice karate? No Dojo.
All my gadgets stopped working, No Go-Go.
You’re such a stick in the mud, No Pogo.
I’m off-track, No Flojo.
Didn’t even see the ad, No Promo.
Let’s see it again and speed it up, No Slow-Mo.

6. Weak Sauce (A Sonnet from 2005)

srtadmin — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 05:23:36 +0000

As to not come on too strong, like perfume
Lightly lacing neck and face devoid of
Steroid stir ups holding place, I’ve marooned
My moxie on a dessert island pub
Spooning daydreams of nice-screams cubed, but scared
Of a love impaired since last licked then crushed
With lust, broken trust that smacked cracked ribs spared
Fanning flaw-fully flared floozies I fussed
Over for too long, too deep, losing sleep
Weeping I’ve awoken holding back lax
Twiddling thumbtacks trying not to keep
Piercing fierce, but this recent heart attack
Sound action is in order, I’ll take two
Hold the heartbreak, an extra side of you.

Movie Review Haikus 2

Julie and Julia

Julia Child cooked
But Meryl Streep was a feast
Of sheer perfection.

Julie Powell blogs
Gets a book deal out of it
what will come of mine?

Inglourious Basterds

Want a glass of milk?
It won’t leave a Hitler stash-
You won’t forget Waltz.

How did the war end?
Quentin rewrites history
what’s a Jew to think?

Ponyo

A waking dreamscape
of sheer creative brilliance
But I fell asleep.

4. Our Gangster

1 The only things I shoot are movies
2 I slip on ice not roofies
3 I throw punchlines not punches
4 And if I was Minnie Mouse, I’d be f-g goofy.
5 No sax or violins I teach flute
6 I don’t just wear a bulletproof vest, it’s a three-piece suit,
7 Ironed and folded too-no creases.
8 Only weight I push is helping heavy ladies cross the streetsss
9 Toss the beat take more shit than what’s scraped off toilet seats.
10 Bug out more than spoiled meats
11 so broke all my bread’s got yeast
12 I murder moments like a PoinDexter
13 I don’t fight like Iron Mike I Flea like a Chili Pepper
14 too scared to lie cheat and rob.
15 only blocks I run are Legos and Lincoln Logs.
16 I don’t bop heads I make heads bob.
