My one published poem:
This five-seven-five
Haiku is perfect except
There is no nature.
(Published in my high school’s literary magazine…and I was the editor)

The sun won't set
It's fruitless to hope
or to fret
It's dark as it's going to get
The hands on the clock turn
But don't sing a nocturne
Just yet
It's fruitless to hope
or to fret
It's dark as it's going to get
The hands on the clock turn
But don't sing a nocturne
Just yet

Hey Matt and Trey - #SouthPark remakes “Jojo Rabbit” about Cartman as a young Trump supporter, whose mom is hiding an undocumented teen girl in the attic. I expect no remuneration for this idea, though a screen credit seems appropriate.

For some reason I have “Stool Boom” in my head, from “Waiting for Guffman”. I won’t post a link to it or it will be in your head too.
