One million followers. Consider:
Anyone can tweet
Every time they eat—
And each time they go to the shitter.

Joe Biden’s German Shepherd

DB — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 12:28:27 +0000

Joe Biden’s kids got a shepherd,
only to find themselves peppered
with angry “tut, tuts”
from activist nuts
You’d think that they purchased a leopard.

As soon as I saw Harry Potter,
I knew that no one was hotter.
My love for Miss Granger
Has put me in danger:
That jail-baiting hot muggle daughter!

Brothers and Sisters (Soap Opera): II

DB — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 13:47:39 +0000

The eldest son’s thiev’ry not merited,
A penchant for fraud he inherited.
Though he’s hardly a foil,
For no-one is loyal:
With “tell no one else!” always parroted.

By guest poet Corey Welton

Brothers and Sisters (Soap Opera): I

DB — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 13:45:43 +0000

Five siblings, all past their prime,
Invariably awkward at times.
It appears that the unction
To resolve their dysfunctions
Is thorough applications of wine.

“My Life in Ruins”: Sequel to “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”

DB — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 12:55:52 +0000

Lovely and eager and clever,
You thought “Greek Wedding” your lever
For box office breakthrough.
But now there’s part two?
We thought Greek love was forever.

Lost

DB — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:28:46 +0000

I’ve turned to my next favorite show,
Lost. And for sure now I know
That they’re not as smart
(More matter less art)
When making it up as they go.

By guest poet Brandon Story

Battlestar Galactica

DB — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:26:44 +0000

I have of late lost all my mirth
An emptiness grows of great girth.
Not even Obama
Can replace Adama
Since those motherfrakkers found Earth.

By guest poet Brandon Story

Twilight: Final Limerick

DB — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 21:50:50 +0000

After 45 minutes of calm,
the bad vampire aped Bella’s mom.
Ballet arena,
Deus ex machina,
Then Edward took Bella to prom.

Twilight: Limerick II

DB — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 11:43:28 +0000

So Bella begs Edward to turn her,
But he knows the life that would earn her:
Her skin cold as ice,
And dinners of mice,
And to dump her, he’d first have to burn her.
