I have made a few so far, but this is the first one I have ever written. A little rusty and I haven't made a couch gag or chalkboard gag yet, but it's all good. Enjoy!
-----------------

Scene opens in the living room with the family watching TV.
TV: This Summer..The biggest...most horrifying...action packed...romantic comedy...will hit theaters...but we're not telling you the name or whose in it until you visit wearenottellingyoumovie.com - - Now back to Iraqi Idol -- singer:lalallalalalalalalalalalalala!
Homer: *whines* Awww...why do they torture me, why WHY?
Marge: Their singing isn't that bad.
Homer: No, the movie!
Marge: Homer, it doesn't take much to go on the computer and type in the website address.
Homer: But it's all the way over there! *points to the computer sitting on the coffee table 3 feet in front of him*
Marge: Oh for god's sakes! *pulls the table closer to Homer*
Homer: *whispers* I loooooove you.
Marge: *rolls eyes*
Homer: Okay, I am typing in the address to the website and I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW TO FIND OUT THE NAME OF THE MOVIE?!!!! Dammit! I burned 3 calories for nothing...NOTHING!
Lisa: Dad, do you really want to know the name of the movie?
homer: *sobs* uh huh...
Lisa: Hmmm...see how it reads 20th Century Fox at the bottom of this page?
Homer: Yeah.
Lisa: You know what that means?
Homer: The movie's gonna suck.
Lisa: No! It means that we can go to a movie database website, enter in 20th Century Fox, and it will come up with a list of movies that are coming out under that production company.
Homer: Do I have to do anything?
Lisa: *groans* I'll do it.
Homer: Wahoo!
Lisa: Okay, let's go to yahoo.com and type in movie database and see what we get. Hmmm...IMDB.com sounds good.
Homer: iiiimdib? What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Lisa: Dad, the letters stand for Internet Movie Database.
Homer: Duh!
Lisa: *rolls eyes* Okay, here we are. FOX has one movie coming out this Summer called "The 110 Year old Virgin."
Homer: *pushes Lisa out of the way* I'll take it from here bucko. Ooo...I can see whose starring in the movie too! Ewww...I should have known Mr. Burns was going to be in this.
*Grampa walks in*
Grampa: Oh, pish! I once knew a 120 year old virgin.
Lisa: Gross!
Grampa: Yep, he couldn't do anything after losing his jewels in the war!
Homer: Dad, get out of my house!
Grampa: I bought you this house!
Homer: If you don't leave now then you don't get any denture cleaner for 2 months!
Grampa: I'm gone!
*Grampa leaves*
Homer: *hours go by* Wow...I think I just looked up every single movie that is gonna come out in the next 5 years.
Marge: Homer, are you still on that computer? Well, Dinner will be ready soon so wrap up what ever you are doing.
Homer: Oh alright. Let me just search one more thing. What to search, what to search, what to search....ah haaa! I'll put my name in here. Oooo a match! Marge Come here, come here!
Marge: What is it Homer, another movie about robotic chickens?
Homer: Look Marge, I have my own IMDB page!
Marge: Homer, that's not you; that's Homer the poet.
Homer: *blinks*
Marge: The blind poet from Ancient Greece.
Homer: *blinks with a blank stare*
Marge: The one who wrote the Odyssey and the Illiad!
Homer: I don't remember writing those!
Marge: *groans and walks away*
Homer: Wow, I can't believe I share the same name with some ancient bozo!
Lisa: Dad, Homer was one of the most famous poets ever to live, especially with his epics the Odyssey and the Illiad.
Homer: If he's so famous, why is he dead?!
Lisa: Because he lived approximately two thousand years ago.
Homer: That's no excuse! Jesus lived two thousand years ago and came back from the dead and look how famous he is now!
Lisa: Even today, people are still buying and reading Homer's works.
Homer: Buying, eh...so who gets the money?
Lisa: Publishing companies I guess.
*Homer has a thought cloud over his head with this: Homer + books/poems = money*
Homer: I got it! I'm gonna be a poet! So, we're do I get started Lisa?
Lisa: The library is a good place to start...
Homer: Look who you're talking to here.
Lisa: ...or you can go outside and sit under a tree to get inspiration from nature.
Homer: I know! I'll go outside and sit under a tree to get inspiration from nature! *looks at Lisa* Pfft...the library..another one of your crazy ideas Lisa.
--------next scene-----------
*homer pulls out a pencil, paper, a lawn chair, an umbrella, a case of beer and sits under the tree in the back yard*
Homer: Now to be inspired! *stares into space* This isn't working! Maybe a can of beer will help me! *guzzles down a can* No, maybe another *guzzles down another* If Jim Morrison could do it, I can do it *gulp* Nope, vision is still clear *another* Vissiiieeeon is fuzzzzzy aeend speeeech is sluuuurrrred PERFECT! *passes out*
*a rock comes from the treehouse with Bart and Milhouse in it and hits homer in the head*
Homer: D'oh!
*more rocks come flying down*
Bart: heheheheheheheheh!
Milhouse: Are you sure your dad won't get mad?
Bart: He's drunk, he can't feel anything!
Homer: *gets hit a few more tiems* What the.....OH MY GOD! A METEOR SHOWER! Every one take cover and get...wait a minute *looks up* BART!
Bart: Uh oh.
Milhouse: Run?
Bart: No, let's see how far he gets!

Bart: hahahaha!
*Homer slowly gets up and gets back to his spot under the tree*
Homer: Well, at least now I can write something about pain. *writes the word 'pain' on his notepad*
Flanders: Hidely Ho there neighborino! Ooo, whatcha writing there? A lovey dovey letter for your wifey?
Homer: I'm trying to get inspired to write poetry but that all disappeared when you came out!
Flanders: *laughs* well, I'll let you alone then Homer...
Homer: *already walking back into the house* Too late!
Homer: *in the house* Stupid Flanders ruining my inspiration and The BOY and his geek friend. I'll never write good poetry! Lisa, this is all your fault! Why didn't you give me a good place to get inspiration from?
Lisa: I did! I told you to go to the library.
Homer: No you didn't! I suggested that but you said I was too dumb to go there.
Lisa: You have quite an imagination dad.
Homer: I know...
Lisa: Then use as inspiration!
Homer: Nah, too much work. I need some other way to be like Homer. *pauses for a second and thinks* I got it! If I wanna be as successful as some old Greek guy, I have be exactly like him!
Lisa: Dad, you can't be exactly like him. First of all, he was blind and...
Homer: That's it! I need to be blind to get all my inspiration!
Lisa: *shakes head*
---next scene---
Homer: Now to make myself blind. *grabs a hammer and 2 nails*
Lisa: Dad! No! If you become blind, you'll lose your job!
Homer: How many times have I been fired? *about to hammer*
Lisa: No! You won't be able to see mom's beautiful face!
Homer: Eh, she'll be able to see mine. *starts to stick nail into eye*
Lisa: uh...Wait! You won't be able to watch TV!
Homer: *gets scared* No more pointless programming?! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *accidently nails on nail into left eye*
----Next scene----
*AT Hospital*
Dr. Hibbert: *laughs* Well, Homer. You're lucky you didn't lose your eye. But what were you doing with a hammer and nails near your eyes anyway?
Homer: *says with a pout* I wanted to be inspired.
Dr. Hibbert: Inspired to be what?
Bart: Inspired to be a fat blind poet wannabe....haha
Homer: Why you little...*goes to choke bart*
Lisa: Ahhhh! You're choking me, not Bart!
Bart: hahahaha!
Homer: Sorry...*attempts to grab Bart*
Marge: See Homer, you can't see.....aahhhhh! *gets choked*
Lisa: Dad! That Mom!
Homer: Sorry, Sorry...
Dr. Hibbert: uhhuhhhhhaaaa! *gets choked*
*Lisa pushes Bart in front of Homer*
Homer: Thank you...come here BOY! *chokes Bart*
Marge: Homer stop.
Homer: You're lucky I can barely see boy.
Bart: Damn straight.
Marge: Bart! Watch your language.
Dr. Hibbert: *angry and rubs neck* Now, I was going to offer you immediate surgery for your eye but since you choked me, you'll have to come back in a week and wear this eye patch until then.
Homer: Wahoo! I get to be a pirate! Arrrgh matey!
*Sea Captain pops in through the door*
Sea Captain: Aaarrgh...Did I hear eye patch?
*everyone looks at him*
Sea Captain: Aarrgh...Aaarghh...I'm not popular.
-----next scene at the power plant in mr. Burn's office----
Mr. Burns: *looking at the security cameras* Smithers, I don't remember hiring a pirate!
Smithers: It's Homer Simpson sir, the moron who has caused over 10 meltdowns in the past month.
Mr. Burns: Well look at him! He needs a different position, he's a pirate! He could do my dirty work for me....
Smithers: I'll call him up now.
Mr. Burns: Excellent.
Homer: You wanted to see me Mr. Burns?
Mr. Burns: Yes, Homer...I see you're a pirate and...
Homer: Oh no, Mr. Burns, I'm not a pirate...
Mr. Burns: It's not Halloween is it? How could I have missed the day! Smithers release the hounds earlier tonight so they can attack all the children who will try to come to my door.
Smithers: No, Mr. Burns it's not Halloween.
Mr. Burns: Then why are dressed up like a pirate then?
Homer: Uh...
Mr. Burns: Oh, I see. You'r a real pirate! I Knew it. Now, to do my dirty work!

Sea Captain: I don't want any trouble here and...*notices the sword is plastic* Hahaha! You think you can steal me treasure with that! Think again lard lad!
Homer: Oh, who am I kidding. I'm not pirate.
Sea Captain: There there, son. At least you have an eye patch!

It's OK. Homer nailing his eyes is pretty stupid though. By the way, I have a better title. 'Poetry In D'oh-tion'.

Well, it's not bad, though not perfect either.
Some of the jokes were funny, other were meh. I liked the beginning, the characterization was decent there, but near to the end it went rough and more crazy. Disliked the fact that Homer choked Lisa and Marge. Liked the scene with Homer's first attempts to write :) also liked the Lisa/Homer dialogue in the beginning, though it still was a tad too lame for Lisa. It was a nice story overall, better than some I've read here ;) Keep it up and try to improve, that's all I can say!
