Test Scores Declining = Ineffective Terminators

What if a time traveler became a teacher

And for a few decades or so

Just didn’t teach people to write

Because they already know

That AI will destroy the world

And our only hope are those

Who trained the AI how to write

Using their own terrible prose?

The Lube Job

I can’t afford to pay a dominatrix.

Their fee is simply too high to abide,

So when I want to be whipped and degraded

I turn on the “check engine” light in my ride.

The Beginning Of A Grand Adventure

Somewhere far beyond these walls

Walking amidst the eldritch halls

Are dwarves and elves and even men

Saying, “Damn GPS screwed up again.”

When people say “What would Jesus do?”

I take that to mean

That I should go underground

And for three days not be seen.

What do you put on a resume

To get one of those jobs

Where you sit behind a desk

With zero buttons or knobs

And fail to acknowledge customers

Because you’re so darn busy

Watching YouTube with subtitles

And gossiping about Lizzy ?

Who’da Guessed?

In the fictional hero’s journey

An opportunity appears

For an ordinary person

To overcome their fears,

To set out on adventure

And become a better man.

In reality, however,

They usually bomb Iran.

Origins Of Chess

There once was a man with a horse

That would not walk straight without force.

Inspired by this thought

The horse was soon shot

And the man made a board game instead.

What An Improvement!

AI is a tool

Like search engines without ads.

Also, it has ads.

When They Won’t Sing The Last Song Until Dean What’s-His-Face Reiterates For The Fourth Time What An Honor And privilege It Is To Congratulate His Colleague On A Career That Has Been Rewarding In So Many Innumerable Ways, Among Which Are…

There once was a director of the choir

Who, after 50 years, decided to retire.

His boss gave a speech

Of such momentous reach

That I had no choice but to open fire.
