I got a request for my book
I sent it and they took a look
Rejected it fast
This sadness will pass
I’m proud of the chance that I took

Songs about heartbreak
Sung with a strong southern twang
Making my ears bleed

@AndrewsSusanM Thank you 😊 the investigation is ongoing

Eats potato chip
Munch, crunch , gulp, yum, empty bag
How did this happen?!

I had a mustache for a bit
My wife made me get rid of it
Obediently shaved
While acting well behaved
But inside I threw quite a fit

@JayBanks6928 Those crumbs can surely accrue
Until you reach this breakthrough
A napkin is needed
Once each bite repeated
And clean it often with shampoo

[cj words @cjwords]

A pile of blocks
Endless possibilities
Simply imagine

@FableFiddler His Uber rating is not high
Even if he’s such a nice guy
Though he tried his best
Guests leave unimpressed
A new career path may be nigh

[cj words @cjwords]

The cabby roamed the whole street
Still with an empty backseat
The driver was tall
The backseat was small
So he drove on in defeat
#LimerickSunday

[cj words @cjwords]

@FableFiddler He kept competitive rates
And tried to target first dates
A cozy backseat
Could help 2 hearts meet
…his sales pitch wasn’t too great

@janemhealy To have lived is to have loved when it comes to dogs ❤️

[cj words @cjwords]

I love dogs so much
Radiating good vibes and
Positivity

@AndrewsSusanM Unfortunately 100% autobiographical hah but it inspired a poem so I count it as a win

@AndrewsSusanM Absolutely and always deserving of some treats!

[cj words @cjwords]

@janemhealy They are the most perfect critters 🥰

[cj words @cjwords]

Sloths are strong swimmers
Propelling through the water
Leisurely floating

@JayBanks6928 Rabbit was the perfect size
Ignored his protesting cries
The whipping was icky
And left feeling sticky
Rabbit was now traumatized
🍯 💩

[cj words @cjwords]

Do bears always poop in the woods?
Sure they might or at least they could
It’s none of my business
I’d rather not witness
I’ll cover me eyes if it should
