If you are looking for the humorous poetry, original theater scripts, skits, music, artwork generally creative output of Joe Thompson (aka J.D. Thompson) from Annapolis Maryland, then you've come to the right place.

If you don't know me or my work, but ended up here by chance– You are still in the right place.

 

I thrive on feedback so there is a place for you to let me know which poems, scripts or songs you like the most or just say something positive (I don't think there is a yelp category for humorous poetry or family music yet - but who knows.) 

My work is not in the public domain but if you'd like to use any of it for non profit or educational purposes, just email me.
