Snoopy remembers a beagle-supremacist rhyme from his puppyhood

Snoopy was cleaning out his supper dish when a rhyme popped into his head. It was a tired piece of beagle supremacy of the sort he had spent his puppyhood hearing. What shocked him was less that he remembered it than that it took no effort to do so, just

November just strode in And set a roaring in the trees May settles in her wicker chair With a rug cross her knees. "You bluster now, she tells him But the Summer will prevail My parasol is equal both to Brightness, rain & hail" #doggerel #poetry
Squeezy Ham
April 29, 2026

when I first met squeezy ham
I was only half a plan
look at me, say what you will
sqeezy ham’s fed me my fill

now I’m stronk, not muscle-bound
squeezy beef is what I’ve found
gives to me relief until
I can say I’ve paid my bill

chicken that comes in a tube
gives a squork, I’m not a rube
sandwiches or frosting top
puts the gloss back in my mop

so if you’ve got mounds of meat
grind it up, do not deplete
easy noms pack up just right
neck ‘em down without a fight

now my plan is all complete
everything in past a treat
so now I’ve got my squeezy ham
and animals that you can cram

Brain, about half way through: "Am I humming When I First Came To This Land?" ... "Oh crap, quick, new chords."

It's like a filk accident, except for Squeezy Ham. Which I still laugh about every time I think of it.

Anger, hatred,
𝔽𝕖𝕒𝕣 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕝𝕠𝕒𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘,
Fits a man,
Like worn-in clothing,
So much it's like our natural state,
As we so often demonstrate.

And not just in Las Vegas...

...wot I wrote in my head while failing to find sleep at the worrisome time of the ill-judged extension to the #TangerineToddler of a second #StateVisit. Even more pertinent on the confirmation of the return match

And there's more...

Just Fuck off and die

Bigly hate, so sad

Are you, then, an ocelot? Dear, I’ve told you, I am not. I get asked that quite a lot; I remain an ocelNOT. #poetry #doggerel

He led with his heart
And not with his head
‘Coz most of his brain was functionally dead.
But his heart, always true,
Just had no space for you;
To that looking glass guy he was wed.

Sinking Old Ships
January 21, 2026

my old man, he finds it funny
sinking costs like they owe him money
yeah, he says, he knows the crash
but it’s so much fun to be slinging hash

fry an egg, it ain’t quite right
scramble’s served, another night
seven hundred eggs per hen
still not perfect, fry again

but the cost’s not lost, we’re eating well
in egg obliteration hell
crammed with cheese and special spice
by and large these eggs are nice

so sinking costs comes with a sign
fried egg menu’s a lie, a crime
but the scramble’s hot, and tasty-good
you’ll eat your hash and knock on wood

one day fried eggs will come out right
until that moment, swill delight
in coffee hot with diner smash
best logging calories, pay in cash
