Wordplay: A Play On Words

Tags

double entendres, equivocation, pun, the name game, wordplay

She thought I was curt;
I was heading to the john,
to be frank, I bobbed.

This is jim-dandy…
every Tom, Dick, and Harry
wants a cup of joe.

To be frank, not curt;
I’m not your average joe,
I advanced to dan.

As the day petered,
he robbed Peter to pay Paul
for a Tom Collins.

The graphic novels
are a little too graphic…
no pun intended.

Stay Weird, Be Golden

Tags

a different kind of vibe, be different, be golden, living my life like it's golden, stay weird

Don’t try to fit in,
normal is an illusion;
stay weird, be golden.

Don’t try to fit in,
when you were born to standout;
stay weird, be golden.

Don’t try to fit in,
be your plain ol’ nerdy self;
stay weird, be golden.

Side Eye

#sideeyebae, Aunt Esther, black girl magic, black women's attitude, if looks could kill, side eye, watch out sucka

She’s nice and lovely…
but her side eye game is mean;
she’ll Aunt Esther you.

I admit, I love…
the infamous attitude
and side eye glances.

She sits quietly…
silently judging, speaking
with side eye sidebars.

That black girl magic
paired with that bold attitude;
nothing more to say.

Where’s #sideeyebae at?
Ms. communicate with looks,
I’m looking for you. 😉

Time is illmatic…
