Since it’s Wednesday night (Hump Day – bah humbug), I’m cranky, hungry, and in need of a hug, I decided to write another silly holiday poem. I tend to write the opposite of what I’m feeling in the moment, an homage to the emotions I’m missing, perhaps. Either way, the poem is cute, unedited, and…
In honor of us turning (violently and without enough warning!) into December, I wrote a silly poem to remind everyone of why we do this to ourselves every year: it’s not about the presents, the food, the decorating, or the hub-bub that we go through to get everything together. We do this for our families.…
Since Halloween falls during the work week, my office has decided to host a department-wide potluck to celebrate the ghouls and goblins and their day of play. To announce the potluck to the staff, I decided to do a play off of Twas the Night Before Christmas and get a few giggles from my team.…
In an effort to garner some laughter in the office, I always try to send out a short poem or song to my department whenever I announce that I’m the M.O.D. for the evening. I normally aim for a parody of the current hit songs (Call Me, Maybe? was a hit), classic Disney melodies, or…

[Disclaimer: This is very dorky/corny. You’ve been warned.] A mini-poem for those going through the post-holiday funk: Christmas has gone, The New Year has went, The time is now done, The hours long spent. “Back to work,” the people cry, “There is much to do!” The bills, they come! I must comply,…
I’m in a bit of a silly mood today, so I decided to share a few limericks I’ve written in the past weeks. The first one is cute; the other two were just me enjoying the fact that words rhyme. Simple pleasures in life. One for my puppy, Taquito: There once was a dog named…
