Old Codger, Newfangled Phone

Old Codger, Newfangled Phone
He “butt dials” his son
every other day,
accidentally disconnects
his daughter (at least)
once a week.
(His kids think
he doesn’t know
what he’s doing.)
He knows they track
his whereabouts,
so he delights in
unsettling them
with a little surprise
now and then.
Stopped by
a tattoo parlor
the Monday past,
and last month, joined
a seniors’ dating site
suggested by a friend.
Doubling diverting,
that caused some ado, and
he met some nice gals too.
Kids still think
he doesn’t know
what he’s doing,
and he’s OK
with that.

-Shipping & Handling
-Shipping &
Handling
Relationships are complicated.
(It’s true. Ask anyone – even facebook.)
Sometimes in
order to
maintain a good
relation-
ship, save a
flagging friend-
ship, or
rekindle a dwindling kin-
ship, you’ll find
you need
to plead the 5th.
(However,
if you ever
feel the urge
to quaff an
entire 5th,
rest assured: that
–ship has
sailed.)
Unsolicited advice
is cheap.
(But excellent advice is
next to impossible.)
Below is some
(of the former):
What’s good for
the goose
isn’t always
good-
hearted candor.
Despite what they say,
it’s never a good idea
to meet in the meddle;
rather,
it’s always better
to divide and concur.
And, most importantly,
you should never forget:
Absence makes the heart
look yonder.

Logomachy
Logomachy
Upon being dubbed
“puissant”
by a casual
acquaintance
should one feel
complimented
or insulted?
Would the result
be fisticuffs
or a friendly debate
between
logophiles?
Might the two,
in fact,
laughingly proclaim
naming someone
a “puissant pissant”
is a perfectly poetic
oxymoron?
