Visualizing Data

If

You

Plan

Ahead, you

Can make anything

Look like a graph that

Extends dramatically at the end of the line.

Stats

Lie.

When You Say “Jesus, Take The Wheel”, Consider The Consequences

So I invented a nifty new thing

That’s a circular mobility aid.

I call it a “wheel”, and if we’re for real

It’s the best thing anyone’s ever made.

As I was showing it off today

This dude with a halo came by

And just picked it up, put his blood in a cup,

And vamoosed. Now I’m stuck asking why.

Let It Be

A woman asking for advice

Is like a cat exposing its belly:

You can do what you think is nice

But it’s going to end up really yelly.

Guys, I learned something!

When you have plans for fun things

Cancelling feels bad.

Making The Most Of Modern Trends

Meet a girl who buys you chocolate,

Gets you flowers, buys dessert.

Just be aware that girls like that

May have once been your friend, Bert.

Gateway Drugs

One cat is a pet.

Two cats can be dear.

Three cats are a warning sign

That menopause is near.

Four cats are a danger

And five cats scream a warning.

That said, my wife thinks 6+ cats

Just make for a snuggly morning.

Secrets From Da Biz

Play a little bit wrong

With a lottle bit of style

And the people gonna clap

And the judges gonna smile.

But if you play it perfectly

And accurately articulate

I hoping you enjoy standing

By the phone, where you’ll forever wait.

Inflation?

When a man loves a woman

It is undeniable that

He’ll either be rejected

Or get married and get fat.

When a woman loves a man

She will inevitably feel

As if she’s also gotten fat

(Or is it that dress? What an ordeal!)

I’m not aware of patterns

In the non-binarily inclined

But if they also get fatter

They do not seem to mind.

So, while Ozempic is an option

If weight loss is your course,

I might also reccomend

The non-prescription choice: Divorce.

Oregon Agriculture

A cattle ranch was neighbors

With a marijuana farm.

They thought the two could coexist

And not cause any harm.

Now the cows are singing Green Day songs

And I can’t tell a lie:

I never dreamed proximity

Could make the steaks so high.

Untitled Goose Poem

You’re always here.

You’re always loud.

“I am a goose”

You shriek, so proud.

You’ll never leave.

Your song won’t cease.

For certainty

I thank you, geese.
