Salute to Cereal!

2/2/2025

0 Comments

 
Cereal, milk. That’s what we love, 
​We eat it every morning 
As we’re sitting on our butts. 
Cereal, milk. That’s what we love, 
We put on some cartoons 
And then we munch and crunch a bunch. 

Whether chocolate, or fruity,
Or crunchy cornflakes. 
Granola, or pebbles, 
Marshmallows on your face. 
Pour on a splash of milk, 
And happiness is at your place. 

So if you’re looking for a fun way
To start off your school day, 
Don’t delay! 
You know what to do: 
​
Grab yourself a spoon 
Put on a cartoon 
Pour yourself some cereal,
And blast off to the moon!

Dinner time!

Yo, my boooooys.
Hey there, my wife. 
I’ve closed up my computer
Work is done tonight. 
My tummy’s grumblin’
And the clock says five. 
Yeah you know what time it is, 
​Let’s get some dinner tonight. 

Like pizzaaaaaa.
It’s got curves, my homies.
Golden crust, cheese and tomato
Pepperonis, my homies. 
And if I order some green peppers
And black olives, my homies
It’ll be a taste explosion. 
FLAVORPLOSION, my homies. 

And if we’re feelin’ fancy 
Havin’ fun and feelin’ fine. 
We could also order soda 
Bubbles poppin’ all the time. 
And don’t forget the breadsticks 
Marinara on the side.  
A thing of chicken wings 
Will wrap our meal up nice and tight. 

So tell me what you think, 
About the food you want to eat. 
I’m bustin’ out my phone
The app is open let me know…




“How about some noodles?”

The Shower Creep!

​It’s 6 a.m. 
And everyone’s asleep. 
Yeah you know what time it is, 
Time to do the shower creep. 
Step 1: You get outta bed. 
Step 2: Put them glasses on your head. 
Step 3: Gather up your clean clothes. 
Step 4: Walk on your tippy toes. 
Step 5: Try not to wake your parents. 
Step 6: Or your visiting uncle Claren--
YEOOOOOOOW I STEPPED ON A LEGO!! 
Step 7: You sprint back to your room. 
Step 8: And act like you’re asleep. 
And just like that, hooray! 
Yeah, you’ve done the shower creep.

Lizard Push-Ups!

9/25/2024

0 Comments

 
Every single day, 
The lizards come out
Of their cinderblock homes
And whip their tails about. 
To the tops of the walls, 
They run to where it’s bright,
And warm their little scales, 
While doing push-ups in the light. 
Every time they do it, 
I have to stop and stare. 
Why do they do the pushups? 
I must know, it isn’t fair. 
Are they challenging me to a scuffle? 
Like, what’s up, bro? Want to fight? 
Or are they asking if I want to
Go work out? That might be right. 
I guess it’s also possible, a
Dragon’s ransacking their kingdom. 
And they need some urgent help
From a human boy named Stephen!
One day I swear that I shall learn, 
The secret of the lizards. 
Push up, push down, it matters not. 
This promise will be delivered!

Lemonade Life

6/12/2021

Digital drawing of a kid daydreaming about a giant glass of lemonade. In the daydream, he's standing beside a ladder and about to climb into the lemonade.
Sigh ...
Wouldn't it be swell
To lounge about in a looooooong glass
Of lovely yellow lemonade?
Like, if it were allowed,
I'd literally lie in a glass of lemonade,
Lick a lime ice lolly
And chill,
Like, all my life.
