Did You Show Up Just To Throw Up?


Did you show up just to throw up?
Did you plan it all this way?
Did you show up just to throw up?
Just to ruin my tenth birthday?
Cuz you gobbled up my ice cream
And three-quarters of my cake!
You destroyed my lovely party,
OH, it's more than I can take!
You ate every yellow candle,
As I stood there screaming, "GROW UP!"
God, it's more than I can handle...
Did you show up just to throw up?

Little kid, I think you did!

This poem is to Hayden J. Reeves, who really did ruin my tenth birthday! Yes, Hayden, I am still mad at you!





Twerp

(You must burp each time you read the word BURP in this poem!)


I’m Twindelton Twerp, I’m King of the Burp;
Folks come from near and from far.
They pay in advance, all for the chance
To meet a real burping star.
I burp so loudly, I burp so proudly,
I live for the cheers and stares.
I burp at churches and talent searches,
At festivals and at fairs.
I burp for birthdays, Easters and Earthdays,
Anybody can hire me.
I burp so wondrous, so strong and thunderous;
They can’t help but admire me!
I get lots of cards and fancy awards,
And they all agree I’m great!
I’m Twindelton Twerp and I love to burp!

So why can’t I get a date?
