Use The Haiku, Luke

I

Two Jedi go find

Slave boy on a desert world,

Blow up space station

II

Slave boy’s all grown up

Turns out there are lots of clones

And a war begins

III

Slave boy kills younglings,

Upgrades wardrobe with a cape

And breathing device

IV

Old Jedi befriends

Farm boy on a desert world,

Blows up space station

V

Farm boy meets his dad.

Talking doesn’t go so well.

Things get out of hand

VI

Crime boss meets his match

And the farm boy saves his dad,

Blows up space station

VII

Desert planet girl

Looks for farm boy far away,

Blows up space station

VIII

What the #%%* was this?

Slow car chase through space, I guess?

Also, farm boy dies

IX

Space girl with map knife…

“Somehow, Palpatine returned”…

Identity Theft…

Legal Advice

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.“

That’s what my lawyer did say

When he wrote me a will

And then sent me a bill

And I told him that I couldn’t pay.

Flossing

If your gums don’t bleed

You aren’t pressing hard enough.

Do it every night.

Presenting: The Sandbox!

What if we took those things in golf

With the fancy desert dirt

And we made it a place of happiness

Instead of one of hurt

And made that place off-limits

To people 8 and up?

Sincerely, children of the past

Who clearly know what’s up.

War is pretty bad.

Epstein didn’t kill himself.

Can we get taxed less?

Holidayflation

‘Twas the 10th of September

And on my TV

A commercial was playing

That terrified me:

‘Twas an ad for vacations

At Disneyland Park

But the song in the background

Made the magic go dark,

For the Disney execs

With audacity sheer

Played “It’s the most wonderful

“Time of the year.”

With my heart sinking faster

Than a billionaire’s submersible

I counted the ways

That their timing was cursable ,

Then with my ears bleeding

From this Disneyland bummer

I went out to enjoy

One more fortnight of Summer.

NFL Day One

There was a QB from Seattle

Who started a climactic battle

And then he was down

And that makes me frown

But we hope it’s not more than a rattle

There was a Seattle defense

With stats that just didn’t make sense.

They took the ball away

Then they took it away

Then they took it again

And the Patriots haven’t smiled since.

A Dino Sore Subject

I don’t know when or how

But humanity will go;

Extinction is inevitable

But what I want to know

Is if those who come after us

Will maintain our legacy

By making chicken nuggies

That are shaped like you and me.

“No”, Said Chad The Juror

So if you’re crazy

And you do some crazy crimes

You’re just innocent?

The Escape Artist

Everyone deserves a friend

Who’ll both refill your cup

And help you make the party end

When those acquaintances won’t shut up,

Who’s nestled in that happy place

Between indirect and rude

And has a smile on their face

When they lie: “I don’t mean to intrude.”
