Good grief!
There is a grief that I don’t mind
The kind you give won’t be declined
The kind I have is not OK
I want to give it all away
Poems and/or Drawings about being Crazy, having OCD and/or being extremely Stressed.

Good grief!
There is a grief that I don’t mind
The kind you give won’t be declined
The kind I have is not OK
I want to give it all away

There’s a light in the darkness of everybody’s life
I get in bed, turn off the light
And miss the things we did at night
I miss the cuddles and the spoons
So I turn on her favorite tunes
The sound of music in my ears
Helps to reduce the constant tears
I cannot sleep, try as I might
I’m not ok, but I’m alright
180917
I quite wish they would quit and be quiet
I don’t like the shouting
It causes self-doubting
The fighting and screaming
Is far from redeeming
Step back from the violence
And enjoy the silence

Another OK day
Fill the shelves with books and games
Put the pictures into frames
Find a home for all the socks
Set the time on all the clocks
Football to distract my brain
Anything to numb the pain
180423
Am I?
I walk down the lane
Through the fine soft rain
The banks are a pain
No sleep hurts my brain
But I’m keeping sane
180328
Ain’t no lie
Every high
Makes me sigh
Saying bye
Makes me cry
This old guy
Don’t know why
171206
Or maybe the next day
Hard to be festive and merry
When the world is fucking scary
Though there’s pain and utter sorrow
I will be cheery tomorrow
160518
Or moist days
Most days I work to earn a buck
Most days my work is so the suck
Most days this puts me in a haze
I don’t think that I’ll miss most days

#TaxDay
#HeartAttacksDay
Today is about income tax
I’m sure it causes heart attacks
It’s nice to get a big refund
But when you owe you may be stunned
These AGI’s and 1040’s
Can bring a man down to his knees
There’s nothing like the pain and stress
Of dealing with the IRS
150817
Ain’t I a catch?
My list of fails is still growing
Rarely am I easy going
I wash whites and darks together
I’ve been known to wear green pleather
When it’s pee, I neglect flushing
On weekends, I’ll skip teeth brushing
Don’t know when my nails need clipping
I am flawed, but don’t be tripping
150701
Pull over and sleep it off
When all your fears
Bring you to tears
Don’t suck it up
Top off your cup
150513
Got a pocket full of quarters
Always an underachiever
I never had Pac-Man fever
At the arcade, this old-timer
Had a case of Crazy Climber
150323
I am sooo chip faced
The bag of chips has a face
It’s a nacho cheese disgrace
The brain child of a nut case
Head is full of empty space
Easy target for your mace
An image you can’t erase
Worst thing in the human race
150318
Don’t be misled there’s always bed
I think I’ll just go back to bed
Wind blew the hat off of my head
My jeans don’t fit ’cause I’m too fat
My only friend’s a one-eyed cat
I found a bug in my sandwich
I drove my car into a ditch
I owe way more than I can pay
I got shit on by a blue jay
My job is slowly killing me
It sometimes hurts when I go pee
My doctor says I’ll soon be dead
I think I’ll just go back to bed

His best friend is a horse
There once was a Trojan named Tommy
Those who knew him thought he was balmy
He played with a sword
Hygiene he ignored
And he lived at home with his mommy
141009
You’re feeling very sl…
I never realized
How much I criticized
I should be hypnotized
To act more civilized
140927
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Breathe in, breathe out, tense up, relax
Good for the necks, good for the backs
Out through the mouth, in through the nose
Removes your stress from head to toes
140925
Red light
Green light
Red light
Fuck you!
Every red light
No green in sight
Every red light
Try as I might
Every red light
So I turn right
Every red light
Both day and night
Every red light
Knuckles are white
Every red light
My lips I bite
Every red light
Give up the fight
Every red light
Finally no slight
Every red light
I’m home – alright!

This isn’t just affecting me
I know we all have OCD
It’s not just washing hands and such
It’s also counting things too much
Having pets might be rewarding
But 12 cats might mean you’re hoarding
Having a daily ritual
Is fine if not habitual
If your actions are excessive
If your feelings are obsessive
If your worries won’t go away
Your OCD is here to stay

Holy grail of birthday months
Let me get this off my chest
This might help if you are stressed
There’s no need to be depressed
Since my birthday is the best
Come with me and be my guest
Join me on this crazy quest
Welcome to Septemberfest!

Don’t drive angry
Common in this day and age
I might suffer from road rage
What’s the fuss? Let me explain
You shouldn’t be in my lane
Screw you, you little stinker
You didn’t use your blinker
First, you’re gonna hear my horn
Then, you’re gonna feel my scorn
If my anger should linger
I will show you my finger
You should quickly drive away
Since you’ve ruined my whole day

Mediate liberate liberate
It’s all my fault, but please don’t hate
I hope that you were not irate
My Sunday poem was too late
It wasn’t posted on the date
I knew that it would be my fate
It’s easy to procrastinate
It isn’t easy to create
But I don’t want to make you wait
I think that you all can relate
Though they don’t have to be that great
The deadline should not deviate
I still feel bad at any rate
140423
Jury’s still out
I am serving jury duty
Hope I don’t get jury cootie
First guy seated on the jury
Smells like last night he ate curry
Second juror can’t stop coughin’
She coughs loud, and she coughs often
The third to sit is a fat dude
The fourth girl has some attitude
Number five seems like he’s crazy
Juror six is young and lazy
I am worried about seven
Says she talks to God in heaven
The guy in eight does not look fine
But not as bad as juror nine
Number ten is an old lady
Eleven looks slim and shady
And he’s wearing something furry
Hope I don’t get on this jury

I’m experiencing disquietude
I truly need a break
I’ve had all I can take
Please send all of the stress
To a different address
My magnificent plan
To breathe deep as I can
If this plan doesn’t work
I’ll probably go berserk
1210
Who else could I be?
I don’t want to be
Like everybody
Not run-of-the-mill
Nor mentally ill
I want to be rare
Without any care
Upbeat and unique
Not lacking mystique
I want to be me
Except differently

Cruisin for a bruisin
There’s more insanity from Tom Cruise?
It’s nothing but crazy that he spews
He claims his job as a leading man
Is like fighting in Afghanistan
It’s well past time we forgot this slouch
Whose best role was jumping on a couch
1014
This is not a jest
That tightness in your chest?
A cardiac arrest!
If you are feeling stressed
You need to take a rest
Life’s not a constant test
Just do your very best
Live life to the fullest
Make that your daily quest

Don’t give her Play Doh
There once was a woman from Orcutt
She was crazy, a bit of a nut
She found a huge box
Full of Lego blocks
Which she built in the shape of a butt

Yes pain no gain
What is going on with my back?
Did somebody give it a whack?
I can’t even fart without pain
If this keeps up, I’ll go insane

Distressed not obsessed
When filling each nook
Of your poem book
Ever skipped a page
And started to rage?
They you’re just like me
And have OCD.
0118
Is that why I’m balding?
The power went out
We all scream and shout
The reason we rave?
We should have hit save!
