Sebastian & Jimmy Poetry: Getting It Wrong Vol. 1 collects the first year of comedic poems built around a familiar rhythm of misunderstanding.
Most pieces center on a phrase, a bit of slang, or a simple assumption that Jimmy hears and immediately commits to, armed with absolute confidence. This leaves Sebastian to attempt, unsuccessfully, to correct the faulty interpretation. What follows is a rapid escalation of certainty, confusion, and unintended consequence, rendered not in prose, but verse.
Originally performed as short-form video poems, these pieces are gathered here for the first time as a single volume. They can be read in any order, revisited at random, or enjoyed one misunderstanding at a time.
The humor lives in timing rather than spectacle, in the space between what was said and what was heard, and in a friendship resilient enough to survive being wrong every time.
This paperback edition brings Sebastian and Jimmy’s exchanges into a physical form meant to be flipped through, revisited, and shared. Each poem stands alone, but together they form a rhythm of certainty, confusion, and friendship that never falters despite the false first steps.
Printed as a clean, compact volume, Getting It Wrong, Vol. 1 is ideal for readers who enjoy marking pages, rereading favorites, and keeping humor close at hand. A collection built to be returned to, not rushed through.
Hear them how they were meant to land. Before they were collected on the page, these poems were performed aloud. The performances capture the moment when certainty overtakes sense.
Listen and watch as Sebastian tries to clarify and Jimmy commits fully to the wrong idea. Each short performance delivers the misunderstanding in its original form, where rhythm and escalation drive the humor home.
