A Poem Called, "I'd Be A Terrible Surgeon"

I'd Be A Terrible Surgeon 

Poetry by Derrick G. Wood 

9/19/17

I'd be a terrible surgeon

I really, really would.

It's not all the learning

Because I really think I could.

I'd be a terrible surgeon

I really do believe

It's not my bedside manner

For I never do aggrieve.

I'd be a terrible surgeon

There's not a bit of doubt

It's not shaky hands

They are steady throughout

I'd be a terrible surgeon

I'd really be a dud

because, you see, I'd hit the floor
the first time I saw blood.

The Mannequin Bathroom at Ann Taylor's.

I took this photo about nine years ago while working briefly at an Ann Taylor store (For RGIS). Imagine my surprise when I walked into the restroom to find four headless, nude mannequins standing there! I just had to get a photo.

I played with it in Photoshop and think it would make a really cool CD cover.

If I had a band...

The Internet Needed Another Short Arm T-rex Comic

This is my most ''viral'' cartoon to date. Heck, it's my most ''viral'' anything to date, technologically speaking! Mr. George Takei simply shared it on his Facebook and his rabid fans instantly spread it all over www world (world wide web world?!). I was absolutely ecstatic by its exposure and heck, three years later, I still am!

And yes, I know Tyrannosaurus Rex only had two fingers. I've been advised!
And no, he can't just jump and hit it with his snout!

A Poem Called, "Keys"

This is a poem I wrote about my little son playing piano:

The correct notes played,
     the little mistakes.
               Straight back
Hands raised
-Striking.

Filling our house with rag,
now it’s classical,
now it’s jazz.
Now it’s something he made up.

All the players
the world has seen,
With these same notes,
These same keys,
And he makes something up -
       something brand new,
heretofore unheard.

An ocean finding a new way to wave.
An apple falling like never before.

It’s all black and white rectangles to me.
But to him,
this eight year old boy,
it makes sense.

Henry "Rollings" Rollins Art

 If you don't listen to The Henry and Heidi podcast, you probably won't understand why I wrote 'Rollings' instead of Rollins.

Messing With Mr. Pagan

Searching the internet for random faces today, I found an innocent enough looking man to mess with in Photoshop. Here is the image I found and what I did with it. Poor, Miguel Pagan
