Hometown

In the heart of my hometown, memories reside,
Where laughter and tears, in harmony, confide.
Familiar faces, streets I know by heart,
A place of belonging, a cherished start.

Mercy

Oh, mercy me, the times we are living in,
Natural disasters, food being stolen,
No one seems to care about anyone else but themselves,
I am scared for what lies ahead.

The world seems to be in disarray,
With troubles and worries at every turn,
It’s hard to find a sense of peace,
When so much around us seems to burn.

Oh mercy me, the times we are living in,
Let’s strive for kindness and empathy,
For in caring for each other,
We can create a better world for you and me.

Wireless

Tracy tirelessly watched the wireless,
For her artist to come on and inspire.
She was determined to stay on, even late into the night,
But her body had other plans, it did tire.

Slowly but surely, her eyes closed, drifting to sleep,
Not long after, her artist appeared on the wireless,
She missed the moment, her heart began to weep,
But she knew tomorrow, she would again be tireless.

To dance and sing in the pouring rain,

In his colorful, flowing robe, what a sight so plain!

CRUMB

THUMB

I have a craving for a tasty crumb,
A tiny treat that makes me hum.
I eat it up, then feel so numb,
But it’s worth it for my tasty sum.

The Stare Down

In a quiet neighborhood, there was a stare down between pets.
The dogs believed the cats stole their step and
Now, they were pests.
But the cats believed that the step was their fair and square.
So the standoff will continue until one concedes,
which, by the looks of it, will not happen
any time soon.

There was a hunk who loves to dunk
But every time he does, he takes a chunk
Out of the backboard with his might,
Sending the spectators into a fright.

CHORE
DUSTER
POLISH

Chores can be such a bore,
Not enough muster to use the duster,
Dishes piled high, sweeping the floor,
I’d rather be a dreamer than auster.

But duty calls, so I roll up my sleeves,
And tackle each task with a sigh,
Hoping that soon I’ll be free to believe,
In a world where chores can’t reach so high.

Hereditary

M.A.D. Works
Hereditary

Hereditary is the word some fear
For it carries the weight of the past
A legacy of triumph or despair
Passed down from generation to generation

It holds the power to shape our lives
In ways we may not fully comprehend
Yet within its grasp lies potential
For growth, for change, for understanding

Embrace the hereditary with knowledge
Seek to break the chains of negativity
And pave the way for a brighter future
Where hereditary holds promise, not fear

FRONT
BACK
SIDEWAYS

Jack could never walk the correct way,
When he was to go forward, he went backwards, and vice versa.
He even went sideways most of the time,
So, try not to be mad if he arrives late,
Because it takes a lot of planning to get to where he is going.

POTTER
PONDER
WANDER

Mr. Potter ponders and wanders about
Wondering if he will ever be normal
But then he thought to himself
What is normal, after all?
He believed that he was normal
In his own special way
Embracing his quirks and uniqueness
Finding beauty in being different every day
