Frodo’s Notes In The Margin

“Bring the ring to Mordor, kid”

Gandalf told me and so I did.

It caused me scars that forever linger,

Mostly that I can’t give Gandalf the finger.

Thanks, Millennials

If you’d like a hamburger

It only costs a dollar.

If you want cheese on it

It’ll cost you dollars two.

Want to add some bacon?

That’s two dollars fifty.

Want some avacado?

Your firstborn kid will do.

Still Better Than JJ Abrams

Did you hear about the filmmaker

Named “Very Clumsy Greg”

Who was famous on the set

For always hurting his leg?

Well, one day during filming

As a scene was to begin

He said, “Lights”, then he said “camera”,

And then he said, “Ack! Shin!”

How Little Things Change

In the days when Jesus walked the Earth

Many people had names

More akin to Shaniqua and Carston

Than Luke, Mary, Joseph, or James.

Those people lived lives that were normal and happy

But long since forgotten to time;

No one wrote a hymn for Shaniqua

Because it was too hard to rhyme.

Minimum Wage, No Respect, Nuclear Waste, And Now This?

A toast to all the henchmen,

The goons, the dorks, the minions

Who were killed by superheroes

Due to differences of opinions

Between said superheroes

And the employers of the underling throng

Who are alive and well in jail

‘Cause kids, killing is wrong.

Or Did The Fact They Never Heated Up Mean The Prophecy Came True After All?

Somebody said to the NFL

“You gotta cool your jets”.

Alas, the Jets were never cool

Not unlike marionettes.

They Were Viva-ing La Vida Alright…

There once was a CEO

Who went to a Coldplay show.

The HR-H.O.E.

Said, “Kiss cam? OMG!”

And now the whole world’s in the know.

The YouTuber’s Origin Story

One camera.

Two fools.

Three hours of editing.

Zero rules.

Nine minutes

About a cruise.

Two hours later

Seven views.

Harry Potter And The One Minute Of Missing Footage

Christmas at Hogwarts, 1997:

Harry Potter is in heaven

Opening gifts from his first ever friends

And hoping this day never ends

When off to the side he notices one

Nondescript little package and opens it. Fun!

Inside is a cloak made of magical paper

For invisible movement during a caper.

“How does it work?” Harry asked. Ron, compliant,

Said, “It’s made from the list of all Epstein’s clients.”

Then Harry nodded, his heart feeling zen,

And Professor Quirrel was never seen again.

Upsides

The nice thing about AI ads

Is that they’re poorly done

So I’ve no need to buy their stuff

And so declare we won.

Another proof of victory

Is that the CEOs shelled out

A lot of money for this tech

And thus without a doubt

Will double down on ineffective

Tools for advertising.

AI will bring a golden age

Of happily not buying!
