Gettin’ Frisky

Welcome to airport security

Where we protect your flight

From older moms with manicure kits

And from folks who are being too white.

Our job is to look through your undies

To find the board game that you packed

Because some guy before you were born

Didn’t get good intel on Iraq.

We’ll never be happy to see you

And we’ll make sure you feel the same way.

Now go to your flight that was cancelled

And let us get on with our day.

A Little Wrench In The Plan

Sometimes your mind ignites

And you put together the pieces,

Assembling a master plan

Or assembling an ingenious thesis.

Other times your mind fixates

On a rather more simple idea.

One of these is called an epiphany;

The other is called an Ikea.

Never The Easy Path?

Today I learned it’s

National limerick day.

I’m contrarian.

Survivorship Bias

I want National Geographic

To offer a promotion

Where everyone gets a free wild boar.

The results will be graphic

But I have the notion

The world’s average IQ will soar.

You’re Welcome

Happy day of motherhood

To all the moms who mother good

For all the kids that mothers had

Through collaboration with a dad.

My mom had but children two.

One is me. The other’s probably not you.

I was the second, and my mom said

“Better quit while I’m ahead.”

My mom mothered day and night

And must have done something just right

To raise a glorious son like me

Who writes her lovely poetry.

Now separate as we may be,

If only geographically,

I’ll always hold you in my heart

Because you made my heart first start.

Not All Calories Are Created Equal

Someone made a sandwich

With ice cream as the filling.;

They took a mighty gamble

But consumers were more than willing.

Then someone ate one of the sandwiches

And thought, “I really don’t like to chew”

So they added some pre-softened cardboard

And gave it the name “Great Value.”

Why Don’t YouWant To Grow Up And Get A Job?

Bob works on an oil rig

And thinks it’s a real nice gig

Despite the never being warm,

Likelihood of death, and unending storm.

Jane sell pictures of her feet

And also thinks it’s real neat.

She’s richer than Bob, but feels depressed

Because she’s historically oppressed.

Meanwhile, Greg’s a CEO.

What does he do? How should I know?

But I know he lives much like a royal

With abundant feet pics and plenty of oil.

And Then The Lord Did Unfriend Me

God made me a sandwich

And told me not to tell

But that’s my coolest story

So I’ll see all y’all in hell.

Metaphor 101

Small red laser dot

Only draws the cat’s interest
