[Poem Spree] 8-liners


#185

Challenged myself to write at least 8-line poems on random topics, whatever pops to mind:

TBBT
The big bang theory
Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj
Binge watch till our eyes become weary
A show that never gets too old to rewatch

Penny enters in the Pilot
Bernadette 3 seasons later
Amy in season 3 final cut
Ladies galore, fun was greater!

Fights, arguments among discoveries
Rom-com, thriller all-in-one
Later seasons made recoveries
So much laughter, so much fun


Shakespeare
Shakespeare the Great
The Bard, the Poet, the Playwright
Ever wonder what he ate?
Be surprised - you just might!

Left brain, right brain, what a conundrum!
Read all about it, and then some
Use one, use both, the time will come
Where you're adept at everything, old chum!


Psychology
Welcome to the world of psychology
Where I try to explain terms via analogy
Anchoring, framing, confirmation bias
In reality, it's utter chaos!

Poor, poor Kitty Genovese
The killer stabbed her with ease
Onlookers did nothing as if having a brain defect
Thus was born the bystander effect


Little Friend
Under the mistletoe
Dressed in a little bow
Was the littlest, prettiest puppy I'd seen
How lucky, that day, I'd been!

Took him home, fed him too
Who'd left him there, I'd no clue
Together we played
Together we stayed


OTT
YouTube, Prime, Netflix
Thrillers to chick flicks
Could there be any more distractions?
All around us abound subscriptions

What a crazy two weeks it has been
Times I'm awake no one has ever seen
Slackened, deviated, lack of time
Responding only on messenger named Chime

Didn't read or write outside of work
Other responsibilities too, I did shirk
It's been so hectic, what can I say?
Can't differentiate night from day
