Schmidy Makes the News Again

Schmidy, forever the fish out of water sports fan, makes the Minnesota evening news with his support for the New York Giants in a Green Bay Packers bar. (Schmidy was the one claiming to have "unfrozen the tundra")

Baby Haiku

Grunts pierce the silence,
Ahhhh. Gahhhhhh! We brace for the onslaught,
But are spared, this time.

In throes of despair,
Miniature legs kick, left – right,
Like engine pistons.

Was that a real smile?
Or just some indigestion,
What makes you happy?

When you’re fast asleep,
Of ample breasts do you dream?
What thoughts make you scream?

When you’re being held,
And gaze up into our eyes,
Utter helplessness.

You like being changed,
It’s no fun to sit in poo,
While vile juices stew.

Your very small hands,
Clench tighter than rubber bands,
Onto stick-fingers.

We’ve but washed you twice,
So how do you smell so nice?
Baby pheromones?

Who controls your arms?
Because you sure as hell don’t.
Flail, wounded spider.

I wish we could talk,
You’d communicate your woes,
I’d say, “I love you.”

Life Emerges

You think your life’s full, can’t fit another thing,
The world is your court, and you are the king,
You work hard everyday, but harder do you play,
Priority one has been keeping adulthood at bay,
But then your wife tells you, you better sit down.
But you’re not worried because you don’t see her frown,
She gives you a package wrapped up with a bow,
But it’s not your anniversary, as far as you know,
You look up at Wifey, whose tears are collecting,
Then you unwrap the present, “What To Expect, When You’re Expecting”,
“I never took for granted, the fact that we could breed,”
I wasn’t sure my swimmers had the stamina or speed.
But I’m looking at two home tests, and it’s clear they indicate yes.
In March of ’07, with a baby we’ll be blessed.
