Staffer cuts paper,
From wholes, to halves, to quarters
-upstairs, boss cuts jobs.

NaPoWriMo Poem #29
peewee casanova
by edward s. gault
always wearing those clean pressed shirts and
neckties he was a bit too familiar and
always smiling like he was on some kind of
l.s.d. trip. he had that creepy mr.
rogers air about him, making most of us
especially careful of where we
took our lunch breaks. he didn’t
even realize that we were avoiding him!
no amount of the cold shoulder bit seemed to send
the message. i knew that
if he kept up his routine, he’d be arrested
on some kind of sexual assault charge. but
no, little peewee casanova kept right on at it.

My Word!
Shockjock spews venom,
Norm knew he had a mission
-took gun to clinic.
Standing in doorway,
Boss said I want a word, please!
-holding the pink slips.
On hospital ward,
Old woman saw her daughter
-Said, I forgive you!
Four years of struggle,
She received her diploma,
-Congratulations!
The principal smiled at her,
she did not have the words, though.
After twenty years,
Al met his son at the gate,
-welcome home father.
Staring at the page,
Waiting for the words to come
-page simply stares back.
