Imperfections make a Home

 Some people ask the question
What makes a house a home?
And here is my suggestion
It's where imperfection roams

The lights that will not light up
The fridge that will not chill
It can drive your right to madness
But that's kinda just the drill

Your mother isn't perfect
And neither is your dad
But together in imperfection
You find it's really not so bad

Your washing all the dishes
'Cause the dishwasher won't wash
And despite all of your wishes
What you have is what you've got

And that time you had to run away
'Cause you set the oven on fire?
These are the times that always stay
And never ever expire

You bless the annoying brother
And bless the all-knowing sis
You may wish that it was other
But the truth is this is bliss.

Hope, Lez, and Ness

There once was a grouping of young people three
There was Hope, there was Lez, there was Ness there you see
And the three were quite close just as close as could be
But they weren't good together its just plain to see

But one day dear Hope met a gentleman Phil
And thinking about him she could not sit still
And they were so happy so happy until
Hope thought of her friends "oh am I a buzz kill?"

And Lez had a hard time in all that he did
He just had this feeling he couldn't get rid
That is just to say that until he came across Fier
And the two fell in love and they hold each so dear

And Ness oh poor Ness had the toughest of all
He just couldn't change not even so small
Til she came across Open and it changed everything
'Cause it's all in the name oh the change it can bring.

Homonyms

 Their house exists somewhere
It's really near I swear
Oh look it's over there
And they're tidying their hair

I want to go do you?
To do a dance or two
I know just what to do?
So go and I go too

I poem I shall write
But how to get it right?
A poem 'bout a knight
From day until the night

I went to buy some flour
But came back with a flower
I need to buy a sail
But it is not on sale

And underneath the sun
I wish I had a son
And he'd be finely bred
Cause all he'll eat is bread

Too Hot!

 It is hot! It is hot! It is way way too hot!
When back in the winter I totally forgot!
That there could be days where we melt in the sun
Some people like it but to me it's not fun.

There used to be stories that old people told
About how the summer heat was superior to cold
But now that it's summer it's not really nice
And I dream of a life that's surrounded by ice

They say that the summer's supposed to be fun
But I feel like a bread loaf that's practically done
I need something cold or I think I might faint
The summer's the best? No no no - no it aint! 

I Am Free!

 Mommy is taking the kids on vacation today
Someplace to frolic - a great place to play
And how do I feel? Well, I'll make this one brief
A week's worth of freedom oh what a relief!

And don't get me wrong me I love them to death
But sometimes it's nice to catch up on one's breath
To be all alone and to find clarity
And be able to write something kinda dorky

I know while they're missing the days will be long
Without them I know I will have to be strong
And while they are gone well I know my own worth
'Cause I am the dorkiest guy on the Earth.

My Toothbrush

 I really love my toothbrush
I really have to say
That everything today went wrong
But I brush it all away
'cause when I'm with my toothbrush
Then everything's okay

The toothbrush holds a special place
In everybody's life
For me and for my children
And also for my wife
'cause when we're with our brushes
Our lives are free of strife

As day gets late and night is nigh
I hold my toothbrush tight
A foul taste is in my mouth
So I brush with all my might!
'cause when I'm with my toothbrush
Then everything's alright

... Now it's time to say goodnight! 

I'm not happy

 I'm not happy
I feeling pretty crappy
Can't help it I am snappy
Perhaps I'll take a nap-py

I have a big complaint
I'm out of finger paint
I might need a restraint
I think I might just faint

I'm not having fun
You get that everyone?
Perhaps it's too much sun
'Cause I am good and done

Oh wait, did I hear you say dessert? Did I hear you say ice cream? OOOOOHHH...

Can I please have a bite?
Just one will be alright
I swear I'll be polite
I'll be out like a light
