“Love at First Swipe” by Casey Curls

We matched at ten and chatted late,
He seemed so fun—a perfect date!
He liked long walks and dogs and pie,
(At least that’s what his profile lied.)

We met in person, awkward stare—
He looked surprised to see my hair.
I smiled and said, “Let’s get some food,”
He said, “Actually… I’m not in the mood.”

“My Toddler Owns This House” by Lara Gigg

The toddler screams, the dog now hides,
Crayons fly like comic slides.
Juice on walls, the sofa’s drenched,
My once-clean rug? Permanently benched.

She rules with tiny chubby feet,
Demanding snacks, refusing meat.
And when she naps, the world’s restored…
‘Til 3 a.m.—she strikes once more.

“Microwave Math” by Tim Toasty

I set the time for thirty-four,
But pressed the button once—or more.
Now popcorn burns in smoky flair,
And I’ve summoned fire from thin air.

Why is reheating such a mess?
I only wanted cheese to melt—not stress.
Microwave: my kitchen foe.
We meet again… oh no, oh no.

“Tech Support From My Teen” by Brenda Bit

My teen rolled eyes and took my phone,
He sighed so loud, I felt disowned.
“Mom, it’s easy,” he began,
“Just swipe here, then tap and scan.”

I nodded slowly, very lost,
(Was this device made to exhaust?)
He clicked, he tapped, then gave a smirk—
“There. Fixed it.” Some strange wizardry work.

“Caffeinated Chaos” by Jimmy Roast

I brewed a pot, then brewed one more,
Now I’m bouncing off the floor.
Heart’s doing flips, I’m speed-talking fast,
My coworker blinked—I’ve already passed.

Caffeine’s a gift, but also a curse,
I skipped lunch and wrote this verse.
Now I’m vibrating with delight—
Let’s write five novels before night!

“Online Shopping Blues” by Mandy Click

I bought a sweater, size was ‘free’
(It could double as a tent, you see).
The model wore it cute and tight,
Mine looked like a camping site.

Return? Too lazy, that’s the truth.
I’ll wear it once and lie to Ruth.
“It’s meant to be oversized,” I’ll say—
Then hide my order history away.

“Love in the Time of Dishes” by Barry Soap

We used to kiss and hold hands tight,
Now we argue ’bout bowls at night.
“You said you’d clean!” “You said you’d cook!”
Now silent warfare—angry look.

But then she smiles and hands me pie,
I rinse the plates, and don’t ask why.
True love, they say, is deep and rich—
But mostly it’s: who scrubs the dish?

“Gym-timidation” by Donna Dumbbell

I bought new gear and hit the gym,
Tried to stretch… tore half a limb.
I lifted weights with shaky pride—
Then tripped and fell off the treadmill’s side.

The coach said, “You’re doing great!”
I groaned and lay there, tempting fate.
“Come back tomorrow?” “I think not—
My body’s sore. My will is shot.”

“Petty Text Wars” by Nora Typo

You texted “K.” Oh now it’s war.
That tiny letter means so much more.
What happened to emojis? Hearts?
Now my revenge plan quickly starts.

I’ll wait four hours, then reply—
With “Lol.” Short, dry, no butterflies.
We used to chat for hours straight…
Now love is passive-aggressive hate.

“I Ordered Salad” by Gus Grease

I ordered salad. Felt mature.
A healthy choice, so clean and pure.
But as they served it, I went cold…
Where were the fries? The cheese? The gold?!

I stared in silence, sad and green.
While my friend scarfed down poutine.
I left a tip, but lost my pride—
Next time: burger, extra fried.

“The Family Group Chat” by Aunt Meme

It dings at 2 a.m. (Thanks, sis).
Uncle Rick sends memes that miss.
Mom asks, “How do I reply here?”
Dad sends a GIF from yesteryear.

Cousin rants about her boss.
Grandma just replies: “LOVE U, JOSS!”
It’s chaos, cringe, and caps lock’s wrath—
But still… I laugh, and always laugh.

“Love Poem from the Dog” by Buddy Pawson

You left me home, I chewed your shoe,
But only ’cause I missed you too.
I bark at walls to keep you safe,
I licked the couch—a sign of faith.

When you return, my tail goes mad,
You say “bad dog,” I’m never sad.
Because despite your grumpy tone,
You are, forever, my chew toy throne.

“Lawn Wars” by Greg Green

He mows at dawn, I mow at night,
Our lawns, a battlefield of might.
We edge and weed, we spread and sow,
It’s suburbia’s most brutal show.

He stripes his grass like art divine,
I water once and call it fine.
But then he smirks—I mow once more…
Let battle rage through lawn decor.

“DIY Disaster” by Ronny Wrench

I watched a video, felt inspired.
My inner handyman was wired.
I drilled a hole. The wall fell down.
I’m now the least-handy man in town.

My wife just sighs. “Call someone, please.”
I say, “It’s fine, just minor fees.”
The dog agrees—I saw his face.
Even the cat left the place.

“Zoom Doom” by Ellie Echo

Mic on mute, or worse—too loud.
My cat appears. The dog’s allowed.
I blink too much, my lighting’s cursed,
My boss is frozen. Or is that me first?

I fake a laugh, pretend to hear,
While slowly sipping awkward fear.
“Any questions?” I smile wide…
My laptop died. I almost cried.

“Midnight Snack Regret” by Jenny Crumb

I tiptoe in, the fridge a glow,
Its hum a siren soft and low.
I spot the cake. “Just one small bite.”
By 3 a.m., it’s lost from sight.

I hide the plate beneath the sink,
Then rinse the guilt down with a drink.
Next morning: “Who ate all my pie?”
The crumbs on me begin to lie.

“The Closet Monster Speaks” by Boogey Ted

I’m not that scary, just misread—
I mostly snack on socks instead.
You drop your pants, I give a squeal!
It’s traumatizing, not ideal!

Your clutter’s worse than I can bear.
I’m sneezing dust balls everywhere.
I’d move out, sure, but truth be told—
I’m scared of basements. Way too cold.

“Social Media Maven” by Gracie Gram

My pic went up, a filtered glow,
Twelve likes in seconds—watch me go!
I hashtag dreams, I tag the sky,
I humblebrag, then click “Goodbye.”

Behind the scenes, a messy bun,
The kitchen’s chaos, no real fun.
But online I’m a vibe, a queen—
IRL? Pajamas since nineteen.

“Online Dating Haiku” by Pat the Poet

Bio full of lies,
Six-foot-two? More like five-four.
Also, that’s your cat.

“Holiday Chaos” by Nick Tree

Tinsel tangles, lights are done,
Uncle snores and hogs the bun.
Auntie glares, the turkey’s dry,
The kid just screamed “You’re gonna die!”

We smile for photos, plates are stacked,
Grandpa mumbles, “I want snacks.”
Still, through this festive family fright—
We laugh, and eat, and hug real tight.

“Ode to My Lost Sock” by Lacey Thread

Where did you go, my cotton mate?
We spun and danced—a perfect fate!
But now I search and find despair,
An empty drawer, one lonely pair.

The dryer’s grin mocks my pain,
I check the sheets, I check again.
Farewell, my foot’s romantic friend—
Your fabric soul met tragic end.

“Remote Control Tyrant” by Dadicus Max

You touch the remote? That’s brave and bold.
I’ve had that thing since I was cold.
One channel flick—you changed the game.
Now sports are gone. Who is to blame?

I guard it now with remote might.
You ask for volume—not tonight.
This couch is mine. The clicker’s too.
Behold: Dad’s throne. And now, shoo.

“Snack Attack Sonnet” by Vicki Crave

Shall I compare thee to a bag of chips?
Thou art more crispy and full of dips.
Rough hunger shakes the tummy’s song,
And lo! Thy cheesy glow is strong.

I munch thy curves with crunchy glee,
My love, you crackle blissfully.
And though I know your salt is sin—
I’ll eat, then eat, then eat again.

“The Plant I Can’t Keep Alive” by Ivy Brown

You asked for sun, I gave you light,
Then you collapsed by Friday night.
I watered, wept, and whispered love—
You still wilted, oh dear green dove.

My cactus died—yes, even that.
The fern gave up and joined the cat.
I tried, I failed, I’m clearly cursed.
Even fake plants fear me worst.

“The Alarm Clock’s Revenge” by Snooza Belle

You beep, you blare, you buzz, you scream,
You kill the end of every dream.
I slap, I snooze, I close my eyes,
Then wake up late, to no surprise.

You rule my life with morning fright,
I plot your downfall every night.
But in the end, I still obey—
You ring, I rise. It’s your way.
