Like A Fresco

Though your name suggests
A matte hue like a beige wall
You’re a vibrant paint

Twister

Storm chasing at home
Localized bathtub weather
A drain tornado

Rascally

Perhaps the worst mint
To find in a restaurant
Is a vile varmint

The Gymnast

Although built to win
Alpha Ben placed second in
In Acrobotics

Wrist

Without a watch on
I feel cut adrift in time
And a bit naked

Trouble

We’re in the same boat
Good thing it’s a hovercraft
Saved by the cushion

Traitor

I’ve been betrayed by
The Eggs Benedict Arnold
Oh, food poisoning

Epic

The film needs edits
It’s celluloid is so fat
It has cellulite

Swearing

A vulgar number?
“Four” is a four-letter word
Did I blow your mind?

Devoted Duvet

The comforter is
A friend to all the linens
Warms them in cold times

Slow As Silt

As sedendary
As sediment settled on
The soil of the sea

Red Curtains

Cook surreal steak with
The David Lynch cooking show:
“Fire Wok With Meat”

Car Wash

I care for my ride
By washing, waxing, and then
Buffing the subway

Cheap Monster Makeup II

Pet a shedding cat
The excess fur will make you
Look like a werewolf

Pseudonym

He used a pen name
So his book would appear to
Be by Accident

Voyage

A lone ant explores
To conquer like a little
Vasco da Gama

Peel

When a brooding Goth
Slips on a banana peel
It’s melancomic

Peevish

Being ornery
Is the most decorative
Way to be grouchy

Body Art

The trend is to get
Geographic cheek tattoos
Places on faces

Lilliputians

My last Google search:
“Ant bites” plus “large colony”
Plus “takeover plans”
